I want to try to use the Yahoo Fantasy Sports API for my fantasy football league, but it seems like I can only access the data if I authenticate with Yahoo. Makes sense. However, I am new to Python and have no idea how to get started.
I found a python module on the web
link text
but I don't know how to "install" a file that has a .gz extension on a windows machine.
Simply, any help you can provide on how to use oauth with yahoo in python will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Just use easysinstall
c:/python25/scripts/easy_install.exe yql
Replace path with your computer's python path if necessary.

I'm trying to automate the refresh function on PowerBI Desktop (For now I don't want to pay for the Pro Licence) with Python but there are so many packages and I'm getting a bit lost. I wanted to use the win32com package first but PowerBI isn't in the application list of the package. I saw that we can use some Microsoft APIs but I don't want to use loads of ressources for this project.
Is it possible to create this automation with Python?
I accept every suggestion possible.
For information I'm using Pycharm Professional with the latest release of Python.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Just call the REST API: Refresh Dataset in Group. This article looks right: Refresh a Power BI Dataset from Python.
I'm working on a terminal based game that I created in Python. I'm wondering if it's possible to instead of forcing users to download the scripts, if it's possible to run it in a python shell directly in a browser. I know of many sites that allow you to run Python online, but I'm hoping i can add its own website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Another thing, would it be possible to prevent the script source from being viewed? This is secondary, but if you know of an easy way I'd love to know.
Thanks!
Does anyone know any good resources/ tutorials/ books to get started with Bloomberg's API blpapi in python?
I have searched everywhere and I haven't found anything at all..
If you download the API from the official website and you the zip file, you will find an "examples" folder which has plenty of examples.
Then there's the core developer guide if you need help on the schemas.
xbbg is a library with minimum setup and some relatively powerful functionalities:
https://xbbg.readthedocs.io/
For example this is how to download historical intraday data:
from xbbg import blp
blp.bdib('AAPL US Equity', '2018-11-21')
I'm trying to search for text string, say "can be", in document which is located on 'https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/ides/conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/AppDistributionGuide.pdf'
For this purpose I'm using PDFQuery. Initially I downloaded the pdf on my machine and did my code. It is working perfect. But when I tried to input the server url in file location it is showing me error. I know the PDFQuery library is developed to work on local machines.
Is there any way that I can figure out something and fix my problem. This is part of my course project and the pdf search module that I am supposed to develop is to be deployed on IBM Bluemix and run it from there. Only this part is pending in my project. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Break the problem into two bits.
i) download the file.
ii) process the file.
Here's some help with step i)
How do I download a file over HTTP using Python?
I'm now using gdata-python-client(Google document List API) to access my google drive on Terminal in Linux OS and I have problem to show the image files -- It's just show only the .doc .xls or .pdf files
Is it has some solutions to solve my problem in still using gdata-python-client? I hope there is some solutions better than changing my APIs to Google drive API,that's mean I should restart my project!!. So sad :(
And If I change to use Google Drive APIs.how to do it? or can i reuse my project working compatibility with the new APIs?
Please give me some advice or tutorial.
Thank you very very very much :)
Use the Drive API. We have a Python command line sample to get you started, and python snippets for every API method including files.list.
