KnackHQ

Python wrapper for KnackHQ API

Installation

pip install knackhq

Connect to KnackHQ

Create a KnackApp instance to begin interacting with KnackHQ. Supply an app ID, an API key, and an optional API endpoint URL to the client:

import knackhq

app = knackhq.KnackApp('<app_id>', '<api_key>')

Alternatively, set these values in your environment with:

• KNACKHQ_APP_ID
• KNACKHQ_API_KEY
• KNACKHQ_ENDPOINT (optional)

app = knackhq.KnackApp()

Reading from KnackHQ

Raw requests

You may wish to send a raw request response from the KnackHQ API:

app.request('GET', 'objects/object_1/records')  # or,
app.request('GET', 'objects', 'object_1', 'records')

Getting Objects

Use dictionary syntax to get objects by name or key:

obj = app['object_1']  # or,
obj = app['MyObject']

Access object metadata using dictionary syntax:

obj['name']
obj['key']
obj['fields']

Getting Records

Use the get_records() method to iterate over records in an object:

for record in obj.get_records():
    print(record)

Supply arguments to get_records() to filter records. Options include:

• record_id
• page
• rows_per_page
• sort_field
• sort_order
• filters

Use filters to refine your search:

filters = [
    {
        field: 'field_1',
        operator: 'is',
        value: 'test'
    }, {
        field: 'field_2',
        operator: 'is not blank'
    }
]

for record in obj.get_records(filters=filters):
    print(record)

If you know the ID of the record, use get_record() to return a single record:

record = obj.get_record('1234567890ABCDEF')
