Getting Started

Getting started with the Taiga API couldn’t be easier. Create a TaigaAPI and you’re ready to go.

API Credentials

The TaigaAPI needs your Taiga credentials. You can pass these directly to the auth method (see the code below).

from taiga import TaigaAPI

api = TaigaAPI()

api.auth(
    username='user',
    password='psw'
)

Alternately, you can pass a token to the constructor TaigaAPI constructor.

from taiga import TaigaAPI

api = TaigaAPI(token='mytoken')

You can also specify a different host if you use Taiga somewhere else

from taiga import TaigaAPI

api = TaigaAPI(
    host='http://taiga.my.host.org'
)

Get projects, user stories, task and issues

You can get projects, user stories, tasks and issues using the primary key or using slug/ref

new_project = api.projects.get_by_slug('nephila')
print (new_project.get_issue_by_ref(1036))
print (new_project.get_userstory_by_ref(1111))
print (new_project.get_task_by_ref(1112))

Create a project

new_project = api.projects.create('TEST PROJECT', 'TESTING API')

Create a new user story

userstory = new_project.add_user_story(
    'New Story', description='Blablablabla'
)

You can also create a milestone and pass it to a story

jan_feb_milestone = new_project.add_milestone(
    'MILESTONE 1', '2015-01-26', '2015-02-26'
)

userstory = new_project.add_user_story(
    'New Story', description='Blablablabla',
    milestone=jan_feb_milestone.id
)

To add a task to your user story just run

userstory.add_task(
    'New Task 2',
    new_project.task_statuses[0].id
)

Create an issue

newissue = new_project.add_issue(
    'New Issue',
    new_project.priorities.get(name='High').id,
    new_project.issue_statuses.get(name='New').id,
    new_project.issue_types.get(name='Bug').id,
    new_project.severities.get(name='Minor').id,
    description='Bug #5'
)

Create a custom attribute

new_project.add_issue_attribute(
    'Device', description='(iPad, iPod, iPhone, Desktop, etc.)'
)
newissue.set_attribute('1', 'Desktop')

List elements

projects = api.projects.list()
stories = api.user_stories.list()

You can also specify filters

tasks = api.tasks.list(project=1)

Attach a file

You can attach files to issues, user stories and tasks

newissue.attach('README.md', description='Read the README in Issue')

Play with instances

Instances can have actions, for example you can star a project just calling

new_project = api.projects.create('TEST PROJECT', 'TESTING API')
new_project.star()

Any instance can be updated and deleted

new_project.name = 'New name for my project'
new_project.update()
new_project.delete()

Search

Search function returns a SearchResult object, containing tasks, user stories and issues:

projects = api.projects.list()
search_result = api.search(projects[0].id, 'NEW')
for user_story in search_result.user_stories:
    print (user_story)

History

You can access the history of issues, tasks, userstories and wiki pages:

history = api.history.user_story.get(user_story.id)

You can find a complete example in demo.py.
