Getting Started

This document provides all the basic information you need to start using the client. It covers base concepts, shows examples, and documents links for further reading.

Setup

There are a few setup steps you need to complete before you can proceed:

1. Sign up for a PythonAnywhere account, if you don't already have one.
2. Activate your personal API token.

Installation

Install pythonanywhereapiclient using pip:

pip install pythonanywhereapiclient

Configuration

The client simply needs three environment variables to work properly:

• PYTHONANYWHERE_API_CLIENT_HOST
• PYTHONANYWHERE_API_CLIENT_TOKEN
• PYTHONANYWHERE_API_CLIENT_USER

For example to set these environment variables in a bash:

export PYTHONANYWHERE_API_CLIENT_HOST="www.pythonanywhere.com"
export PYTHONANYWHERE_API_CLIENT_TOKEN="yoursecrettoken"
export PYTHONANYWHERE_API_CLIENT_HOST="yourusername"

Valid values for PYTHONANYWHERE_API_CLIENT_HOST are www.pythonanywhere.com and eu.pythonanywhere.com.

Usage

The following examples showcase some typical usage scenarios.

from pythonanywhereapiclient import file, schedule, webapp

# Create a webapp
webapp.create('example.com', 'python36')

# List all webapps
webapp.list()

# Modify an existing webapp
webapp.modify(
    'example.com',
    python_version='3.6',
    working_directory='/home/user/work',
    source_directory='/home/user/source',
    virtualenv_path='/home/user/virtualenv',
    force_https=True
)

# Create a static mapping
webapp.create_static('example.com', '/static/', '/home/user/data/static')

# Reload a webapp (e.g. after source or configuration changes)
webapp.reload('example.com')

# Disable a webapp
webapp.disable('example.com')

# Enable a webapp
webapp.enable('example.com')

# Delete a webapp
