Documentation

Here's some quick documentation. Want more? Read the source. It's less than a hundred and fifty lines.

Dribbble

You'll use dribbble.Dribble to make most of your API calls.

import dribbble
d = dribbble.Dribbble()

player(username): Get the player with the given username. You can pass in the user's numeric ID instead if you feel like it.
shot(shot_id): Get the shot with the given ID.
shots(type): Get a list of the latest shots of the give type. The type can be 'everyone', 'popular', or 'debuts'. If you don't pass in a type you'll get 'everyone' shots.

Player

You can get a Player object by calling d.player(). Shots also have a player attribute.

id: The (numeric) user id of the player.
username: The username of the player.
name: The full name of the player.
url: The URL of the player's profile.
avatar_url: The URL of the player's avatar image.
location: The location of the player, if they've listed one.
shots(): A list containing the player's latest shots. You can pass page and/or per_page to control pagination.
shots_following(): A list containing the latest Shots of the players this player is following. You can pass page and/or per_page to control pagination.
ishots(): A generator that yields shots from this player, newest to oldest. It will hit Dribbble's API whenever it needs more shots, so be careful not to get rate limited (i.e. don't try to take more than ~1,000 shots per minute). You can pass start_page to start at a certain page.
ishots_following(): A generator that yields shots from players this player is following, newest to oldest. It will hit Dribbble's API whenever it needs more shots, so be careful not to get rate limited (i.e. don't try to take more than ~1,000 shots per minute). You can pass start_page to start at a certain page.

Shot

You can get Shot objects from d.shot(), d.shots(), or from a Player object.

id: The (numeric) shot id of the shot.
title: The title of the shot.
url: The URL of the shot's page.
image_url: The URL of the actual image of the shot.
width: The width of the shot image.
height: The height of the shot image.
player: The Player that made this shot.

Fork the Mercurial repository (preferred) or the git repository, add your feature, send a pull request. Stick to the coding style and add a test for your feature.

Make sure you look at the existing tests before writing your own -- they do ugly "clever" things to avoid getting banned by Dribbble's API.
