The example code at:
https://github.com/WildApricot/ApiSamples/tree/master/python
does not compile with either python2 or python3. It appears to want to use the python3 urllib library, but complains about:

File "/home/eric/wild_apricot/ApiSamples/python/WaApi.py", line 70, in authenticate_with_contact_credentials
request = urllib.request.Request(self.auth_endpoint, encoded_data, method="POST")
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'method'

"method=xxx" is not an argument for urllib.request.Request(). So apparently it actually does <i>not</i> work.

Hi,

I have been using a Python V2.7 adaptation of your sample code. It was working fine until about a week ago (14th June), then overnight it stopped working, raising an exception when I tried to print out the authentication token details, which is an ApiObject instance:

self._token = WaApiClient._parseResponse(response)

if self._verbose: _statusErrMsg('info', 'authentAppKey()', self._token)

The code is failing when trying to execute the __str__ method of the ApiObject because it considers the data invalid: File "D:\ourData\progLan\python\crhWA2a.py", line 418, in __str__ return json.dumps(self.__dict__) File "C:\Python27\lib\json\__init__.py", line 231, in dumps return _default_encoder.encode(obj) File "C:\Python27\lib\json\encoder.py", line 201, in encode chunks = self.iterencode(o, _one_shot=True) File "C:\Python27\lib\json\encoder.py", line 264, in iterencode return _iterencode(o, 0) File "C:\Python27\lib\json\encoder.py", line 178, in default raise TypeError(repr(o) + " is not JSON serializable")TypeError: {"AvailableScopes": ["account_view", "contacts_view", "event_registrations_view", "events_view", "finances_view", "membership_levels_view"], "AccountId": 123456} is not JSON serializable

This started the day before the new API V2 authentication changes were applied. I have waited a week and since modified the code to use the new authentication protocol but the error persists. This is not a significant problem for me because I have trapped the error, but should it be raised in the first place? I use the same technique in several other methods but none of them trigger this exception so it is probably specific to the authentication token data.

Hi,

I've just published sample python code on github: https://github.com/WildApricot/ApiSamples/tree/master/python

I'm not a python guru and this code is not a masterpiece, however it works. There are 2 files: WaApi.py is a python module, which helps to work with API
ApiTest.py is a demo, which downloads account information, downloads 10 active members and print their details creates new contact archives this contact
