I am wondering if someone has sample code of a working python connection to the Quickbooks API. From the documentation of Intuit-Oaut, Python-Intuit, or intuit developer docs I cant figure out how to connect. Would like to connect and then post sample JSON (for example a sales receipt), but cant seem to connect.
I am new to python and new to quickbooks api so apologies if this seems basic or am missing a step.
Followed steps on:
-https://oauth-pythonclient.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide.html#authorize-your-app
-https://github.com/intuit/oauth-pythonclient
-https://github.com/sidecars/python-quickbooks
-https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbo/docs/develop/authentication-and-authorization
Check out the fo_qbo repo. You need an Intuit developer account and (perhaps obviously but for the avoidance of doubt, Admin-level access to a QBO comapny instance) to use it.

All I know about API authentication is just password and bearer token. (and NO AUTH too ;)) And I got this OAuth problem when I was trying to use audiomack API.
https://www.audiomack.com/data-api/docs
This is their API documentation. They say
Rather than manually creating code for OAuth, we recommend instead using one of the pre-built libraries available for your programming language.
And I got piles of python libraries here: https://oauth.net/1/#:~:text=Max%20Countryman%20maintains,Tornado%20Auth%20package
Because I am new to OAuth, and also do not know how to get this consumer key and secret from my audiomack account (newly created for test use), these repos give no meaning to me.
Is there anyone who can help me out? I want to know how to make a proper OAuth step to use this API.
A step-by-step guidance or relevant link will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I'm new to Python and am very confused on how to begin this assignment:
Write Python code to connect to Twitter search API at:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json
with at least the following parameters:
q for a search topic of your interest;
count to 100 for 100 records
to retrieve twitter data and assign the data to a variable.
I already created the app to access Twitter's API. Thanks.
I had this same issue. According to Twitter, you must register an account to even use basic search features of public tweets and there is no way around it. I followed the guide for the complete setup here and can confirm it works
Edit: the article is for php, but changing it to python shouldn’t be very difficult. It has all the methods outlined in the article
Just as a hint, you might want to use tweepy for this. They have very good documentation and its much easier than trying to reinvent the wheel.
I have a server application written with Django which has a contacts database.
I wish to add a cardav webservice in order to share my contacts on my phone. I have made many search but I am completely lost.
I found some server as Radical, some API which uses files ... but nothing help me.
I need to implement in my server an API which will return to my Android the list of contact from my databases. What output format should I use ?
Thank you.
Your question seems a bit generic nor do you list what resources you looked at and why you are lost.
This presentation is a little old, but shows the fundamentals on how the *DAV protocols work. Building a CardDAV Client is another great starting point.
CardDAV itself is specified in
RFC 6352, and the related RFCs:
WebDAV,
WebDAV ACL,
etc.
What output format should I use ?
CardDAV requests and responses use
WebDAV,
hence XML.
The actual payload is a
vCard v3.
If you are looking for sample code:
The Apple CalendarServer
is a full-fledged CalDAV/CardDAV server written in Python.
Radicale is another one, but you already found that (be more specific why this isn't helping you, Radicale looks like a great starting point to me).
Finally: I don't think Android has CardDAV support builtin. Presumably you are using a sync plugin?
I've searched on google and have taken a look at the facebook site for the apis, but facebook does not have an official SDK for python. I looked at the third party api for python listed on their site that could be used to communicate with facebook. After having visited their official site and github repository there is a small readme file that shows basic usage, it seems to assume that you are already connected to facebook, and the example at the end of that page shows a cookie example.
The short examples seem easy enough but there is no explaination of anything and i dont find any more documentation about anything else.. there does not seem to be any information about all available methods you can use with the api..where do the people who are using this api get the documentation to find the methods available so they are able to do work with this ?
Since i guess people are pretty tired of signing up for yet another service i would like to offer to sign in with their facebook and twitter accounts (although thats a no no for the ad people who would like to have access to the user profile in order to have targeted words/links that generate revenue). Im using django and have taken a look at the django-facebook api as well but the documentation seems to just point to the github repository which doesnt have any documenation, almost just like the other api pointed out above. Basically i dont find any documenation about how to use the apis except from the small examples.
And like always, i appericiate your time answering this, always nice to add an explaination to any code so the answer is a little more usefull, thanks.
My info might be a little bit out of date as I was working at a startup implementing a Python backend on Google AppEngine that interfaced with Facebook, used FQL, AppEngine datastore etc, about a year and half ago.
There are several third party APIs you can use, for instance, https://github.com/jgorset/facepy or https://github.com/pythonforfacebook/facebook-sdk. The reason there is no 'documentation' on the github site is because it implements access to the API that IS documented on Facebook's developer pages https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/.
But that is in a perfect world. My experience with the Facebook APIs is that they don't always do what is said on the dev pages. You don't get consistent return data, FB Realtime API not/inconsistently notifying for certain connections (music, movies, books, tv). Unfortunately, I think they have many non-documented APIs that are only available to the big app players.
Where I got my real world working info and learned how to access Facebook using Python was right here on stack overflow.
I'm sorry but I'm having some trouble implementing Oauth within my app engine python project.
I've been working from http://github.com/tav/tweetapp, but I don't think I have a strong enough grasp on this platform to understand how to implement this class within my main.py I'm building the rest of my app in.
This maybe a feeble attempt, but here is what I have so far:
twa = twitter_auth
client = twa.OAuthClient('twitter')
I've created a source folder within my project called "twitter_auth" and that contains a file within it called "twitter_auth.py" which contains the above linked library, and a file called __ init__.py (no space) which is completely empty.
I really have no idea what to do from here :/
Let me recommend taking a look at the tweepy library and some example tweepy apps. Specifically here: http://github.com/wasauce/tweepy-examples
This shows how to use oauth to authenticate a user: http://github.com/wasauce/tweepy-examples/tree/master/appengine/oauth_example/
As Hagge said, it sounds like your issue is more with the tweetapp library than with App Engine. However, if you would like to know more about OAuth on App Engine and if I may be allowed to link to myself, my two articles on the topic seem to be reasonably popular.
The tweetapp library was a an early prototype for Twitter OAuth on twitter. Tav did the heavy lifting and I deployed the site http://twitteroauth.appspot.com , using some of the tweetapp library. The actual source of that site is here (I need to update the site to point here): http://github.com/ryanwi/twitteroauth
I am still using it in production, but, it has aged and does not work for all API calls. I'd recommend trying a different, more up to date and maintained library as others have mentioned.
But, take a look at the twitteroauth source if you want to try to get a first attempt working.
These two are on Twitter's list
http://github.com/brosner/python-oauth2
http://code.google.com/p/oauth-python-twitter2/
I'm not familiar with that library, but after a quick look and seeing the warning that it is not maintained I'd search for something better. I implemented a simple Twitter connection based on Tornado's auth: see an example of how to make Twitter API calls here (and an authentication example here). In case you don't want to use tipfy, I recommend implementing the python-twitter library in your framework of choice.
