Spond

Simple, unofficial library with some example scripts to access data from the Spond API.

Warning

Version 0.99 is a test with some breaking changes before doing release 1.0 really soon.

Install

pip install spond

Usage

You need a username and password from Spond

Example code

import asyncio
from spond import spond

username = '[email protected]'
password = 'Pa55worD'
group_id = 'C9DC791FFE63D7914D6952BE10D97B46'  # fake 

async def main():
    s = spond.Spond(username=username, password=password)
    group = await s.get_group(group_id)
    print(group['name'])
    await s.clientsession.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Key methods

get_groups()

Get details of all your group memberships and all members of those groups.

get_events([group_id, include_scheduled, max_end, min_end, max_start, min_start, max_events])

Get details of events, limited to 100 by default. Optional parameters allow filtering by start and end datetimes, group; more events to be returned; inclusion of 'scheduled' events.

get_person()

Get a member's details.

get_messages()

Get all your messages.

send_message(text, user=None, group_uid=None, chat_id=None)

Send a message with content text. Either specify an existing chat_id, or both user and group_uid for a new chat.

get_posts()

Get details of the last 1K posts.

Example scripts

The following scripts are included as examples. Some of the scripts might require additional packages to be installed (csv, ical etc).

Rename the file config.py.sample to config.py and add your username and password to the file before running the samples.

ical.py

Generates an ics-file of upcoming events.

groups.py

Generates a json-file for each group you are a member of.

attendance.py <-f from_date> <-t to_date> [-a]

Generates a csv-file for each event between from_date and to_date with attendance status of all organizers. The optional parameter -a also includes all members that has been invited.

AsyncIO

Asyncio might seem intimidating in the beginning, but for basic stuff, it is quite easy to follow the examples above, and just remeber to prefix functions that use the API with async def ... and to await all API-calls and all calls to said functions.

This article will give a nice introduction to both why, when and how to use asyncio in projects.
