tourcms

A simple wrapper for connecting to TourCMS Marketplace API. This wrapper mirrors the TourCMS PHP library.

Install

NOTE: At the time of writing this repo is ahead of the version in pip which does not include the fix for non GMT environments.

pip install tourcms

Usage

Using the library is as simple as creating a Connection object:

conn = tourcms.Connection(marketplace_id, private_key, result_type)

Your Marketplace ID and Private Key can be found in the TourCMS Partner Portal. The result type can be one of dict or raw where raw will return the raw XML from the API and dict will return a dictionary of the result. Dict requires xmltodict to be installed.

Working with your connection in Raw mode

    # Instantiate the connection
    import os
    from tourcms import Connection

    conn = Connection(0, os.getenv('TOURCMS_PRIVATE_KEY'))

    # Check we're working
    conn.api_rate_limit_status(channel_id)
    => "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><response><request>GET /api/rate_limit_status.xml</request>
        <error>OK</error><remaining_hits>1999</remaining_hits><hourly_limit>2000</hourly_limit></response>"

    # List the channels we have access to
    conn.list_channels(channel_id)
    => ""<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><response><request>GET /p/channels/list.xml</request>
        <error>OK</error><channel>(...)</channel><channel>(...)</channel><channel>(...)</channel></response>"

    # Show a particular channel
    conn.show_channel(1234567)
    => ""<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><response><request>GET /p/channels/list.xml</request>
        <error>OK</error><channel>(...)</channel></response>"

Working with your connection in Dictionary mode

Requires xmltodict to be installed

pip install xmltodict

    # Instantiate the connection
    conn = Connection(0, os.getenv('TOURCMS_PRIVATE_KEY'), "dict")

    # Check we're working
    conn.api_rate_limit_status(channel_id)
    => OrderedDict([(u'request', u'GET /api/rate_limit_status.xml?'), (u'error', u'OK'), (u'remaining_hits', u'1999'), (u'hourly_limit', u'2000')])
    obj["hourly_limit"]
    => 2000

Passing parameters

Many TourCMS methods accept parameters. Most methods take a dictionary of parameters like so:

obj = conn.search_tours({"country": "GB", "lang": "en"})
