pycake 1.11.0

Python SDK for CAKE API

Introduction

pycake is a python package intended to make CAKE’s API seem more RESTful. Due to the .NET framework, without pycake a user would need to include every parameter with every api call. When editing an entity, this can be annoying if you’re only changing one or a few settings. Additionally, when exporting entities or reporting data, it is less than ideal to have to pass every parameter(filter) if you wish to include all results. In its current form, pycake contains the pycake.api module. pycake.api contains the CAKEApi class designed to make calling the CAKE API a bit simpler. In the future, there will be multiple modules in this package for both making api calls (Admin and Affiliate) and handling reponses.

For example, if you want to edit one setting on one offer (ADDEDIT Offer), you can use CAKEApi.edit_offer() and only pass the offer_id and the key-value pair for the setting you wish to change:

>>> from pycake.api import CAKEApi
>>> ckapi = CAKEApi(admin_domain='my.cakedomain.com', api_key='ADhakjnOtAreALkEY')
>>> offer_edit_response = ckapi.edit_offer(offer_id=4, click_cookie_days=60)

In short, if settings or filters are not explicitly called out when using a CAKEApi funtion, they are automatically skipped or all results returned (depending on the underlying API method type).

New in 1.11.0

• When CAKEApi.json_response=True, functions will return a json object instead of a string

Python

Supports 2.x and 3.x

Use

Installation

$ pip3 install pycake --upgrade

Initialize a CAKEApi object with an API key

>>> from pycake.api import CAKEApi
>>> ckapi = CAKEApi(
        admin_domain='my.cakedomain.com', api_key='ADhakjnOtAreALkEY',
        use_https=True, json_response=True)
>>> advertiser_info = ckapi.get(item='Advertisers')
>>> offer_info = ckapi.export_offers()

Note: Only admin_domain is required to initialize a CAKEApi object.

Initialize a CAKEApi Object without an API key

You can initialize a CAKEApi object without an API key and then use the set_api_key() function. This is useful when you need to utilize user-provided login credentials to perform API calls.

>>> from pycake.api import CAKEApi
>>> ckapi = CAKEApi(admin_domain='my.cakedomain.com')
>>> username = '[e-mail]'
>>> password = 'SomePassword123'
>>> ckapi.set_api_key(username=username, password=password)
>>> print(ckapi.api_key)
ADhakjnOtAreALkEY
>>> conversion_data = ckapi.conversions(start_date='2017-5-1', end_date='2017-6-1')

Note: If username and password are not valid admin credentials CAKEApi.api_key is set to None. Calling subsequent CAKEApi functions other than CAKEApi.set_api_key() will raise an Exception.
