etsy-tornado

Python wrapper for the Etsy API based on Tornado's IOLoop

Based on mcfunley/etsy-python, by Dan McKinley - dan@etsy.com - http://mcfunley.com

Installation

The simplest way to install the module is using setuptools.

$ easy_install etsy-tornado

To install from source, extract the tarball and use the following commands.

$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install

Simple Example

To use, first register for an Etsy developer key. Below is an example session.

from etsy import EtsyV2, Association, env
from tornado import gen
from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop

@gen.engine
def example():
    api = yield gen.Task(EtsyV2, 'YOUR-API-KEY-HERE', env=env.ProductionEnv)
    listings = yield gen.Task(
                   api.findAllListingActive,
                   keywords='candle',
                   limit=1,
                   fields=['title','price'],
                   includes=[Association('MainImage', fields=['url_75x75'])])
    print listings[0]
    io_loop.stop()

io_loop = IOLoop.instance()
io_loop.add_callback(example)
io_loop.start()

Tests

This package comes with a reasonably complete unit test suite. In order to run the tests, use:

$ python setup.py test

Some of the tests (those that actually call the Etsy API) require your API key to be locally configured. See the Configuration section, above.
