Attempts to port the undocumented open inviter API to python :)

Understanding the PHP API

There are tons of files, but plugins/_hosted.plg.php overwrites almost everything.

Hosted API

  • Post XML to http://hosted.openinviter.com/hosted/hosted.php.

  • <import>
  <service>{{ service }}</service>
  <user>{$user}</user>
  <password>{$pass}</password>
</import>

  • Authentication by private key, used to sign the XML with an md5 hash.

  • Supported services are requested and cached every now and then.

TODO

  • Can't get hosted services lookup to work (services() function)
  • Contacts and services for a function name is ugly... import_contacts might be better
