Usage

# Auth URLs Options by country

# 1:  "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.ar"
# 2:  "https://auth.mercadolivre.com.br"
# 3:  "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.co"
# 4:  "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.mx"
# 5:  "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.uy"
# 6:  "https://auth.mercadolibre.cl"
# 7:  "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.cr"
# 8:  "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.ec"
# 9:  "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.ve"
# 10: "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.pa"
# 11: "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.pe"
# 12: "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.do"
# 13: "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.bo"
# 14: "https://auth.mercadolibre.com.py"

# For example in your app, you can make some like this to get de auth
import urllib

params = urllib.urlencode({'response_type':'code', 'client_id':'your_client_id', 'redirect_uri':'your_redirect_uri'})
f = urllib.urlopen("https://auth.mercadolibre.com.ar/authorization?%s" % params)
print f.geturl()

his will give you the url to redirect the user. You need to specify a callback url which will be the one that the user will redirected after a successfull authrization process.

Once the user is redirected to your callback url, you'll receive in the query string, a parameter named code. You'll need this for the second part of the process

Examples for OAuth - get token

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import meli
from meli.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Defining the host, defaults to https://api.mercadolibre.com
# See configuration.py for a list of all supported configuration parameters.
configuration = meli.Configuration(
    host = "https://api.mercadolibre.com"
)


# Enter a context with an instance of the API client
with meli.ApiClient() as api_client:
# Create an instance of the API class
    api_instance = meli.OAuth20Api(api_client)
    grant_type = 'authorization_code' # str
    client_id = 'client_id_example' # Your client_id
    client_secret = 'client_secret_example' # Your client_secret
    redirect_uri = 'redirect_uri_example' # Your redirect_uri
    code = 'code_example' # The parameter CODE
    refresh_token = 'refresh_token_example' # Your refresh_token

try:
    # Request Access Token
    api_response = api_instance.get_token(grant_type=grant_type, client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret, redirect_uri=redirect_uri, code=code, refresh_token=refresh_token)
    pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling OAuth20Api->get_token: %s\n" % e)

Example using the RestClient with a POST Item

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import meli
from meli.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Defining the host, defaults to https://api.mercadolibre.com
# See configuration.py for a list of all supported configuration parameters.
configuration = meli.Configuration(
    host = "https://api.mercadolibre.com"
)


# Enter a context with an instance of the API client
with meli.ApiClient() as api_client:
    # Create an instance of the API class
    api_instance = meli.RestClientApi(api_client)
    resource = 'resource_example' # A resource like items, search, etc
    access_token = 'access_token_example' # Your access token

    # A body example to post a item in Argentina
