callixte-girard/DynalistWrapperPy

A template that allows to use the Dynalist API more easily in Python. Already ready to make your first upper-level request. You just have to

Purpose

Access the Dynalist API easily thanks to this unofficial Python Dynalist wrapper : https://pypi.org/project/dynalist/ But contrary to it (which is almost docless), this little code gives you a template just ready to start.

Setup

• Install Dynalist via pip (Python package manager) : pip install dynalist
  • You may use pip3 instead of pip.
  • You should (imho) use a virtualenv to install your packages for this project, but that will work with both methods.
• Get a token via Dynalist site on this page —> https://dynalist.io/developer
• Replace it in static/constants.py, in the variable dynalist_token.
• Specify the id of the page you want to get in your_file_id.
  • You can use the screenshot I provided to help you.
    • To open the panel you can do Cmd + Shift + I (I'm on macOS, should probably replace Cmd with Ctrl on Windows)
    • You must click on the request load and find the value you need.
    • The sequence you need is circled in red.
  • Here is another (simpler) method :
    • Go to Dynalist in your web browser and go to the page you want to get the id.
    • Simply copy the last part of the URL (like in the screenshot).
• Launch the file main.py with Python : python main.py (here you may as well use python3 instead of python.)
• It should give you some JSON containing the document whose id you passed it. If it is the case, congrats, it's working ;)
