python-exist

Exist API Python Client Implementation

Requirements

• Python >= 2.6, Python >= 3.2, or PyPy. You can download it from
• Pip. If you have Python >= 2.7.9 or >= 3.4 then you already have pip. Otherwise, please follow these instructions :

Installing

Once you have satisfied the requirements listed above, install by running the following command from them terminal:

> pip install exist

Quick Start

Install with pip install exist

python-exist can be used with one of three authorization types; basic, oauth, or an api_token

To use basic authorization and store the returned token, add your "username" and "password" in the following command:

> exist authorize --username=<username> > --password=<password>

If you already have a token, add it to the following command:

> exist authorize --api_token=<token>

To use OAuth authorizations and store the returned token add your "App key", "App secret" and "Redirect URL" (optional) in the following command (Note: this requires app to registered directly with Exist):

> exist authorize --client_id=<app_key> > --client_secret=<app_secret> > --redirect_uri=<redirect_uri>

That will save the necessary credentials for making further API calls to a file called "exist.cfg". These credentials should be kept private. You can use same the command-line client to access everything in the Exist API (). You can also access the same resources using the Python API:

> >>> from exist import Exist >>> exist = > Exist(<client_id>, <client_secret>, > <access_token>) >>> print(exist.user()) { "id": 1, > "username": "josh", "first_name": "Josh", "last_name": "Sharp", > "bio": "I made this thing you're using.", "url": > "", "avatar": > "", "timezone": > "Australia/Melbourne", "local_time": "2020-07-31T22:33:49.359+10:00", > "private": false, "imperial_units": false, "attributes": [ { > "group": "steps", "priority": 1, "items": [ { "attribute": "steps", > "label": "Steps", "value": 258, "service": "Fitbit", "priority": 1, > "private": false, "value_type": 0, "value_type_description": > "Integer" }, { "attribute": "floors", "label": "Floors", "value": 2, > "service": "Fitbit", "priority": 2, "private": false, "value_type": > 0, "value_type_description": "Integer" } ] } ] }

More commands are available as per the help section of the exist command from exist --help

Roadmap

• Tests (next)
• Write API connectivitiy (in progress)
