# VK API
This is an ultimate library for **vk.com** API written in Python.
## Installation
Just:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ISosnovik/vkAPI
cd vkAPI
python setup.py install
```
## General use
To begin with:
```python
from vkapi.methods import *
```
You can use it exactly as it is described [here](https://vk.com/dev/methods).
For example:
```python
users.get(user_ids=1, fields='city')
#[{'city': 2, 'first_name': 'Pavel', 'last_name': 'Durov', 'uid': 1}]
```
## Access Token
Some methods use `access_token`. It shouldn't be passed as a parameter to method. Nevertheless, it is defined as a class property `token` in `vkapi.vkapi.Config` class. Just set it at the beginnig:
```python
from vkapi.methods import *
from vkapi import Config
Config.token = 'h3r3-1s-th3-4cc3ss-t0k3n'
account.getInfo(fields='country')
```
And that is it.
## Documentation
All methods are provided with short description and reference to the official documentation. If you forget something, just call `help` or `shift + tab + tab` for *__Jupyter Notebook__* and you will get the description:
```profile
Help on function resolveScreenName in module vkapi.methods.utils:
resolveScreenName(screen_name=None)
Detects a type of object (e.g., user, community, application)
and its ID by screen name.
