## rocketchat_API
Python API wrapper for [Rocket.Chat](https://developer.rocket.chat/reference/api/rest-api/)
[](https://www.codacy.com/app/jadolg/rocketchat_API?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=jadolg/rocketchat_API&utm_campaign=Badge_Grade)  [](https://codecov.io/gh/jadolg/rocketchat_API)  
### Installation
- From pypi:
`pip3 install rocketchat_API`
- From GitHub:
Clone our repository and `python3 setup.py install`
### Requirements
- [requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests)
### Usage
```python
from pprint import pprint
from rocketchat_API.rocketchat import RocketChat
proxy_dict = {
"http" : "http://127.0.0.1:3128",
"https" : "https://127.0.0.1:3128",
}
rocket = RocketChat('user', 'pass', server_url='https://demo.rocket.chat', proxies=proxy_dict)
pprint(rocket.me().json())
pprint(rocket.channels_list().json())
pprint(rocket.chat_post_message('good news everyone!', channel='GENERAL', alias='Farnsworth').json())
pprint(rocket.channels_history('GENERAL', count=5).json())
```
*note*: every method returns a [requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests) Response object.
#### Connection pooling
If you are going to make a couple of request, you can user connection pooling provided by `requests`. This will save significant time by avoiding re-negotiation of TLS (SSL) with the chat server on each call.
```python
from requests import sessions
from pprint import pprint
from rocketchat_API.rocketchat import RocketChat
with sessions.Session() as session:
rocket = RocketChat('user', 'pass', server_url='https://demo.rocket.chat', session=session)
pprint(rocket.me().json())
pprint(rocket.channels_list().json())
pprint(rocket.chat_post_message('good news everyone!', channel='GENERAL', alias='Farnsworth').json())
pprint(rocket.channels_history('GENERAL', count=5).json())
```
#### Using a token for authentication instead of user and password
```python
from pprint import pprint
from rocketchat_API.rocketchat import RocketChat
rocket = RocketChat(user_id='WPXGmQ64S3BXdCRb6', auth_token='jvNyOYw2f0YKwtiFS06Fk21HBRBBuV7zI43HmkNzI_s', server_url='https://demo.rocket.chat')
pprint(rocket.me().json())
```
### Method parameters
Only required parameters are explicit on the RocketChat class but you can still use all other parameters. For a detailed parameters list check the [Rocket chat API](https://developer.rocket.chat/reference/api/rest-api)
### API coverage
Most of the API methods are already implemented. If you are interested in a specific call just open an issue or open a pull request.
### Tests
We are actively testing :)
Tests run on a Rocket.Chat Docker container so install Docker and docker-compose.
1. To start test server do `docker-compose up` and to take test server down `docker-compose down`
2. To run the tests run `pytest`
### Contributing
You can contribute by doing Pull Requests. (It may take a while to merge your code but if it's good it will be merged). Please, try to implement tests for all your code and use a PEP8 compliant code style.
Reporting bugs and asking for features is also contributing ;) Feel free to help us grow by registering issues.
