LinkedIn Job Search REST API Issue(s)

I see there has been questions similar to this but the responses to them explains my asking a similar question here. I am wanting to utilize LinkedIn's REST API for my personal job hunt, specifically utilizing the job search API capabilities.
My problem comes in with retrieving an access token and autorisation to actually use the app. I have tried the below code - the first cell is to retrieve autorisation and the second is to retrieve an access token:
from linkedin import linkedin
APPLICATON_KEY = 'XXXXXX'
APPLICATON_SECRET = 'XXXXX'
RETURN_URL = 'http://localhost:8000'
authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(APPLICATON_KEY, APPLICATON_SECRET, RETURN_URL,
linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values())
print (authentication.authorization_url) #open this url on your browser
Access token:
authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(
APPLICATON_KEY,
APPLICATON_SECRET,
RETURN_URL,
linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values()
)
authentication.authorization_code = '#############################################'
result = authentication.get_access_token()
print ("Access Token:", result.access_token)
print ("Expires in (seconds):", result.expires_in)
When I attempt to retreieve authorisation (required for access token) the following error occurs:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/linkedin/linkedin.py", line 294
except (requests.ConnectionError, requests.HTTPError), error:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It's an obvious syntax error, however am ignorant to what it is exactly - I have a feeling it might be my localhost

That error points to the comma separating the exception classes from the variable name.
A comma there is Python 2.x syntax, so that means the linkedin library you're using is not compatible with Python 3.
If you're using this library, you can see it's not been updated in 5 years. This (PyPI) seems like a slightly fresher fork.

Using Slack RTM API with Django 2.0

I am a beginner to the Django framework and I am building a Django app that uses the Slack RTM API.
I have a coded a program in python that performs the OAuth authentication process like so :
def initialize():
url="https://slack.com/api/rtm.connect"
payload={"token":"xxx"}
r=requests.post(url,payload)
res=json.loads(r.text)
url1=res['url']
ws = create_connection(url1)
return ws
My Requirement:
The stream of events I receive (from my slack channel that my slack app is added to) is processed to filter out events of the type - message ,then match the message with a regex pattern and then store the matched string in a database.
As a stand alone python program I am receiving the stream of events from my channel.
My questions:
How do I successfully integrate this code to Django so that I can
fulfill my requirement?
Do I put the code in templates/views? What is the
recommended method to process this stream of data?

def initialize():
url = "https://slack.com/api/rtm.connect"
r = requests.get(url, params={'token': '<YOUR TOKEN>'})
res = r.json()
url1=res['url']
ws = create_connection(url1) #Note: There is no function called create_connnection() so it will raise an error
return ws
if you read the API web methods, you see :
Preferred HTTP method: GET
See here: Slack rtm.connect method
look at the comment, and thats the right code, see the differences between this code and yours.
basically to get JSON from a request don't use json.loads because this search your local computer not the request
use r.json() so it call the json you got from r.
Note that r.text will return raw text output so when you want to get url it will not be identified, with r.json you can call the object url as stated about
Hope this help.
and please could you tell us more what you wanna do with this in view ? because template is a directory which contains all the HTML files which you don't need to work with.
but why views.py ?

Need a Python script for Slack to deactivate a user [duplicate]

I have tried multiple approaches to this. Tried first getting the user without any user id - this returns me just my user, then tried getting user with other id's and it also retrieves data correctly. However, I can't seem to be able to set user attribute 'deleted'. i'm using this python approach.
slack_client.api_call('users.profile.set', deleted=True, user='U36D86MNK')
However I get the error message of:
{u'error': u'invalid_user', u'ok': False}
Maybe someone has already done this? It says in documentation that it's a paid service mentioning this message under a user property:
This argument may only be specified by team admins on paid teams.
But shouldn't it give me a 'paid service' response in that case then?

The users.profile.set apparently does not work for for setting each and every property of a user.
To set the deleted property there is another API method called users.admin.setInactive. Its an undocumented method and it will only work on paid teams.
Note: This requires a legacy token and doesn't work with App tokens - these are only available on paid plans and new legacy tokens can't be created anymore

in python you can do the following:
import requests
def del_slack_user(user_id): # the user_id can be found under get_slack_users()
key = 'TOKEN KEY' #replace token key with your actual token key
payload = {'token': key, 'user': user_id}
response = requests.delete('https://slack.com/api/users.admin.setInactive', params=payload)
print(response.content)
def get_slack_users():
url = 'https://slack.com/api/users.list?token=ACCESSTOKEN&pretty=1'
response = requests.get(url=url)
response_data = response.json() # turns the query into a json object to search through`

You can use Slack's SCIM API to enable and disable a user. Note that, as with the undocumented API endpoint mentioned in other answers this requires a Plus/Enterprise account.

Python: how to check whether Google street view API returns no image or the API key is expired?

I want to use Google Street View API to download some images in python.
Sometimes there is no image return in one area, but the API key can be used.
Other time API key is expired or invalid, and also cannot return image.
The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The provided API key is expired.
How to distinguish these two situations with code in Python?
Thank you very much.

One way to do this would be to make an api call with the requests library, and parse the JSON response:
import requests
url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=600x300&location=46.414382,10.013988&heading=151.78&pitch=-0.76&key=YOUR_API_KEY'
r = requests.get(url)
results = r.json()
error_message = results.get('error_message')
Now error_message will be the text of the error message (e.g., 'The provided API key is expired.'), or will be None if there is no error message. So later in your code you can check if there is an error message, and do things based on the content of the message:
if error_message and 'The provided API key is invalid.' in error_message:
do_something()
elif ...:
do_something_else()
You could also check the key 'status' if you just want to see if the request was successful or not:
status = results.get('status')

Insufficient permissions when trying to create a Quizlet set

I am trying to create a set on Quizlet.com, using its API found here: https://quizlet.com/api/2.0/docs/sets#add
Here is my code of a set I am trying to create:
import requests
quizkey = my_client_id
authcode = my_secret_code # I'm not sure if I need this or not
data = {"client_id":quizkey, "whitespace":1, "title":"my-api-set",
"lang_terms":"it", "lang_definitions":"en",
"terms":['uno','due'], "definitions":["one","two"]}
apiPrefix = "https://api.quizlet.com/2.0/sets"
r = requests.post(url=apiPrefix, params=data)
print r.text
The response is:
{
"http_code": 401,
"error": "invalid_scope",
"error_title": "Not Allowed",
"error_description": "You do not have sufficient permissions to perform the requested action."
}
I also tried "access_token":authcode instead of "client_id":quizkey, but this resulted in the error: "You do not have sufficient permissions to perform the requested action."
How can I fix this and not get a 401 error?

Alright so 3 and a half years later (!!) I've looked into this again and here's what I've discovered.
To add a set you need an access token - this is different to the client_id (what I call quizkey in my code), and to be quite honest I don't remember what authcode in my code is.
This token is obtained by going through the user authentication flow. To summarise it:
Send a POST request to https://quizlet.com/authorize like so:
https://quizlet.com/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=MY_CLIENT_ID&scope=read&state=RANDOM_STRING
Keep the response_type as code, replace client_id with your client_id, keep the scope as read, and state can be anything
I believe this requires human intervention because you're literally authorising your own account? Not sure of another way...
You'll receive a response back with a code
Let's call this RESPONSE_CODE for now
Send a POST request to https://api.quizlet.com/oauth/token, specifying 4 mandatory parameters:
grant_type="authorization_code" (this never changes)
code=RESPONSE_CODE
redirect_uri=https://yourredirecturi.com (this can be found at your personal API dashboard)
client ID and secret token separated by a colon and then base64-encoded (the user authentication flow link above tells you what this is if you don't want to do any of the encoding)
You'll receive the access_token from this API call
Now you can use that access_token in your call to create a set like I've done above (just replace "client_id":quizkey with "access_token":access_token)

You will need to authenticate in order to make sets. This link gives an overview:

And this one provides details about the authentication process:
