chatter Description

chatter is a minimalist yet fully featured Chatter API class, heavily inspired by Python Twitter Tools. (https://github.com/sixohsix/twitter/).InstallationSimply: easy_install chatterEven better: pip install chatterChatter API overviewSee this quickstart tutorial: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapi/Content/quickstart.htm from Salesforce.UsageInstantiation: client_id = "YOUR_CHATTER_CLIENT_ID" client_secret = "YOUR_CHATTER_CLIENT_SECRET" auth = chatter.ChatterAuth(client_id, client_secret) instance_url = "YOUR_USER_INSTANCE_URL" access_token = "YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" refresh_token = "YOUR_USER_REFRESH_TOKEN" chatter = chatter.Chatter(auth=auth, instance_url=instance_url, access_token=access_token, refresh_token=refresh_token)Get authenticated user's details: me = chatter.users.me.get()Note 'GET' is implied, so you can reduce the above to: me = chatter.users.me()Get another user's details other_user = chatter.users.get()Again, this can be reduced: other_user = chatter.users()Another way to achieve this, using the '_' magic method: other_user = chatter.users._("005E0000000FpoxIAC").get()Updating the authenticated user's Chatter status: chatter.feeds.news.me.feed_items.post(text="Hello world!")Occassionally it is necessary to refresh the user's access token, due to session expiration. The underlying ChatterCall class will handle this automatically, however you may wish to be notified of access token changes so you can reflect this in your user model.It's possible to do this via the access_token_refreshed_callback, pass in a callable, and your callback will get called with the refreshed access token.e.g. def my_callback(access_token): print "New access_token", access_token chatter = chatter.Chatter(auth=auth, instance_url=instance_url, access_token=access_token, refresh_token=refresh_token, access_token_refreshed_callback=my_callback)The rest is hopefully self-explanatory!Product's homepage
