Python API wrapper around Trello's API

README

        

A wrapper around the Trello API written in Python. Each Trello object is
represented by a corresponding Python object. The attributes of these objects
are cached, but the child objects are not. This can possibly be improved when
the API allows for notification subscriptions; this would allow caching
(assuming a connection was available to invalidate the cache as appropriate).

I've created a `Trello Board `_
for feature requests, discussion and some development tracking.

Install
=======

::

pip install py-trello

Usage
=====

.. code-block:: python

from trello import TrelloClient

client = TrelloClient(
api_key='your-key',
api_secret='your-secret',
token='your-oauth-token-key',
token_secret='your-oauth-token-secret'
)

Where ``token`` and ``token_secret`` come from the 3-legged OAuth process and
``api_key`` and ``api_secret`` are your Trello API credentials that are
(`generated here `_).

To use without 3-legged OAuth, use only ``api_key`` and ``api_secret`` on client.

Working with boards
--------------------

.. code-block:: python

all_boards = client.list_boards()
last_board = all_boards[-1]
print(last_board.name)

working with board lists and cards
----------------------------------

.. code-block:: python

all_boards = client.list_boards()
last_board = all_boards[-1]
last_board.list_lists()
my_list = last_board.get_list(list_id)

for card in my_list.list_cards():
print(card.name)

Getting your Trello OAuth Token
===============================
Make sure the following environment variables are set:

* ``TRELLO_API_KEY``
* ``TRELLO_API_SECRET``

These are obtained from the link mentioned above.

``TRELLO_EXPIRATION`` is optional. Set it to a string such as 'never' or '1day'.
Trello's default OAuth Token expiration is 30 days.

Default permissions are read/write.

More info on setting the expiration here:
https://trello.com/docs/gettingstarted/#getting-a-token-from-a-user

Run

::

python -m trello oauth

Required Python modules
=======================

Found in ``requirements.txt``

Tests
=====

To run the tests, run ``python -m unittest discover``. Four environment variables must be set:

* ``TRELLO_API_KEY``: your Trello API key
* ``TRELLO_TOKEN``: your Trello OAuth token
* ``TRELLO_TEST_BOARD_COUNT``: the number of boards in your Trello account
* ``TRELLO_TEST_BOARD_NAME``: name of the board to test card manipulation on. Must be unique, or the first match will be used
* ``TRELLO_TEST_STAR_COUNT``: the number of stars on your test Trello board

*WARNING*: The tests will delete all cards on the board called `TRELLO_TEST_BOARD_NAME`!

To run tests across various Python versions,
`tox `_ is supported. Install it
and simply run ``tox`` from the ``py-trello`` directory.
