Python Trello API Wrapper ========================= This Python API is simply a wrapper around the [Trello](https://trello.com/) REST API. It uses the [API documentation](https://trello.com/docs/api/index.html) to autogenerate the Python API. This repository contains the latest generated version of the Python API (in the `trello` directory), along with the necessary files to regenerate the API. Getting Started --------------- To use the Python API, first install it from PyPI using `pip`: pip install trello or from source: python setup.py install Once you have it installed, get an app key from [https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate](https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate). It will be a 32-digit hex string. Now you can start using the API >>> from trello import TrelloApi >>> trello = TrelloApi(TRELLO_APP_KEY) >>> trello.boards.get('4d5ea62fd76aa1136000000c') { "closed": false, "desc": "Trello board used by the Trello team to track work on Trello. How meta!\n\nThe development of the Trello API is being tracked at https://trello.com/api\n\nThe development of Trello Mobile applications is being tracked at https://trello.com/mobile", "id": "4d5ea62fd76aa1136000000c", "idOrganization": "4e1452614e4b8698470000e0", "name": "Trello Development", "pinned": true, "prefs": { "comments": "public", "invitations": "members", "permissionLevel": "public", "voting": "public" }, "url": "https://trello.com/board/trello-development/4d5ea62fd76aa1136000000c" } Because the Trello development board is public, we didn't need a user's token, but if we want to access private boards, we'll have to have one. We can get it by calling: >>> trello.get_token_url('My App', expires='30days', write_access=True) 'https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=TRELLO_APP_KEY&name=My+App&expiration=30days&response_type=token&scope=read,write' If you send your user to the resulting URL, it will ask them to allow your app access to their account, and then it will give them a token (64-digit hex string) that they will pass back to your app. >>> trello.set_token(user_token) (*Note: Trello does support OAuth, but the Python API does not have any support for it yet.*) Once you have set the user's token, all calls to the API will include that token, as if the user was logged in.
