seatsio-python, the official Seats.io Python client library

This is the official Python client library for the Seats.io V2 REST API, supporting python 2.7, and python 3.3 - 3.7.

Installing

pip install seatsio

Versioning

seatsio-python only uses major version numbers: v5, v6, v7 etc. Each release - backwards compatible or not - receives a new major version number.

The reason: we want to play safe and assume that each release might break backwards compatibility.

Examples

Creating a chart and an event

import seatsio
client = seatsio.Client(secret_key="my-secret-key") # can be found on https://app.seats.io/settings
chart = client.charts.create()
event = client.events.create(chart.key)

Booking objects

import seatsio
client = seatsio.Client(secret_key="my-secret-key")
client.events.book(event.key, ["A-1", "A-2"])

Releasing objects

import seatsio
client = seatsio.Client(secret_key="my-secret-key")
client.events.release(event.key, ["A-1", "A-2"])

Booking objects that have been held

import seatsio
client = seatsio.Client(secret_key="my-secret-key")
client.events.book(event.key, ["A-1", "A-2"], hold_token="a-hold-token")

Changing object status

import seatsio
client = seatsio.Client(secret_key="my-secret-key")
client.events.change_object_status("<EVENT KEY>", ["A-1", "A-2"], "my-custom-status")

Listing all charts

import seatsio
client = seatsio.Client(secret_key="my-secret-key")
charts = client.charts.list()
for chart in charts:
  print("Chart: " + chart.key)

Note: list() returns a PagedIterator, which under the hood calls the seats.io API to fetch charts page by page. So multiple API calls may be done underneath to fetch all charts.

Listing charts page by page

E.g. to show charts in a paginated list on a dashboard.

Each page contains an items array of charts, and next_page_starts_after and previous_page_ends_before properties. Those properties are the chart IDs after which the next page starts or the previous page ends.

# ... user initially opens the screen ...

firstPage = client.charts.list_first_page()
for chart in firstPage.items:
  print("Chart: " + chart.key)

# ... user clicks on 'next page' button ...

nextPage = client.charts.list_page_after(firstPage.next_page_starts_after)
for chart in nextPage.items:
  print("Chart: " + chart.key)

# ... user clicks on 'previous page' button ...

previousPage = client.charts.list_page_before(nextPage.previous_page_ends_before)
for chart in previousPage.items:
  print("Chart: " + chart.key)

Creating a workspace

import seatsio
client = seatsio.Client(secret_key="my-company-admin-key")
client.workspaces.create("a workspace")

Error handling

When an API call results in a 4xx or 5xx error (e.g. when a chart could not be found), a SeatsioException is raised.

This exception contains a message string describing what went wrong, and also two other properties:

Errors: a list of errors (containing a code and a message) that the server returned. In most cases, this list will contain only one element.
RequestId: the identifier of the request you made. Please mention this to us when you have questions, as it will make debugging easier.
