Using the Looker Python SDK

from looker import LookerClient

# instantiate LookerClient
client = LookerClient('<token>',
                      '<secret>',
                      'https://<company_name>.looker.com')

# create a query object
query1 = client.query(dictionary = 'thelook',                               # this is the model
                      query = 'orders',                                     # this is the base view
                      fields = ['orders.count', 'users.count'],             # dimensions and measures
                      {'users.state': '-%New%',
                       'orders.created_date': '90 days'})                   # filters as key-value pairs

# create another query object
query2 = client.query('thelook', 'orders', 
                      ['orders.count'],
                      {'users.created_date': '90 days'})
query2.add_filters({'orders.created_date': '90 days'})                      # you can add filters post query build

print query1.run()
print query2.run()
