OLX Python Client (py-olx-client)

py-olx-client is a Python client library for interacting with the OLX API. It provides an easy way to interact with the OLX platform, allowing you to manage users, ads, and more.

Features

• Retrieve user information
• Get ad details
• Get contact numbers for ads
• Token management (refresh)

Installation

You can install the library via pip:

pip install py-olx-client

1. Initialize the OLX Client

You need an OLX API access token to authenticate. Once you have the token, initialize the OLX class.

from py_olx import OLX

# Replace with your actual access token
access_token = "your_access_token"
olx = OLX(access_token)

2.Retrieve Authenticated User

You can retrieve the details of the currently authenticated user.

# Fetch authenticated user details
user_details = olx.user.get_authenticated_user()
print(user_details)

3. Retrieve User by ID

To retrieve information about a user by their user ID:

user_id = 12345  # Replace with the user ID
user_info = olx.user.get_user(user_id)
print(user_info)

4.Working with Ads

Get Advertisement by ID To retrieve details about a specific ad by its ID:

ad_id = 123456  # Replace with the ad ID
ad_details = olx.ads.get_ad(ad_id)
print(ad_details)

5.Get Contact Number for an Advertisement

To retrieve the contact number for a specific advertisement:

contact_number = olx.ads.get_contact_number(ad_id)
print(contact_number)

6.Refreshing Token

You can refresh the token using the OLXAuth class. Here is an example of refreshing the token:

from py_olx import OLXAuth

# Replace with the client ID, client secret, and the refresh token you got during initial auth
client_id = "your_client_id"
client_secret = "your_client_secret"
refresh_token = "your_refresh_token"

auth = OLXAuth(client_id, client_secret,refresh_token)
new_access_token = auth.refresh_token()
print(f"New Access Token: {new_access_token}")
