Cherwell

Cherwell client for python3 applications

Usage

Installation

Install with:

pip install cherwell

Or, if you're using a development version cloned from this repository:

python path-to-where-you-cloned-cherwell/setup.py install

Quickstart

First, initialize a cherwell client instance

from cherwell.client import CherwellClient


cherwell_client = CherwellClient('<YOUR_CHERWELL_SERVER_ADDRESS>')

And then, request an authentication token to use in the other requests

token = cherwell_client.authenticate(
   gt=<YOUR_GRANT_TYPE>,
   cid=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>,
   user=<YOUT_USERNAME>,
   pwd=<YOUR_PASSWORD>
)

With a token, you can for example create a business object.

Before, Given the cherwell API format, let's create a valid business object

from cherwell.models import BusinessObject, BusinessObjectFields


data = BusinessObject('FakeBusObjectId')
data.fields = [
    BusinessObjectFields(
        fieldId='FakeFieldid',
        name='FakeFieldName',
        value='FakeFieldValue',
        dirty=True,
    ),
    BusinessObjectFields(
        fieldId='FakeFieldid2',
        name='FakeFieldName2',
        value='FakeFieldValue2',
        dirty=True,
    ),
]

Now, just perform

bo = cherwell_client.save_business_object(token=<YOUR_TOKEN>, data=data)

For create/save your busines object

Running tests

python -m unittest tests.test_client

Contributing

This client was made to meet a specific need of my daily life. Obviously this is very simple and does not include 100% of what the cherwell API offers.
