Splitwise Python SDK
This is the python sdk for Splitwise APIs. At this point only GET requests and a single POST request createExpense
is supported. Pull requests and bug reports are welcomed.
Latest Version
The latest version of splitwise SDK is Splitwise-1.1.0
Installation
Install using pip :
$ pip install splitwise
Register your application
Register your application on splitwise and get your consumer key and consumer secret.
Include splitwise in your application
from splitwise import Splitwise
Get splitwise instance
To get an instance to splitwise just provide the consumer key and secret.
sObj = Splitwise("<consumer key>","<consumer secret>")
Debug
To get the debug logs use
Splitwise.setDebug(True)
Usage
Authorize splitwise
Before you can make call to splitwise, you need to get access token of the user on whose behalf you will be making call. Think of it as login with splitwise. Its based on OAuth2 and its a 2 step process.
-
Get the Authorize URL and Secret. Redirect the user to the Authorize url and store the secret in somewhere for eg in session.
sObj = Splitwise("<consumer key>","<consumer secret>") url, secret = sObj.getAuthorizeURL() #Store secret so you can retrieve it later #redirect user to url
-
After authorization splitwise will redirect the user back to the callback url that you provided during registration. It will also provide oauth_token and oauth_verifier that can be used along with secret from step 1 to get access token. The below snippet is from Flask application to extract parameters and then using SDK to get access token. This access token can be stored in your db to make calls on his/her behalf.
oauth_token = request.args.get('oauth_token') oauth_verifier = request.args.get('oauth_verifier') sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret) access_token = sObj.getAccessToken(oauth_token,session['secret'],oauth_verifier) session['access_token'] = access_token
Get data from splitwise
Once you have the access token you can make the calls to splitwise. Get the splitwise instance and set the access token and then make authorized calls.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getFriends()
Get Current User
You can use getCurrentUser()
to get the current user. It returns a CurrentUser
object.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getCurrentUser()
Get User
You can use getUser(id)
to get the user. It returns a User
object.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
id = 7123
user = sObj.getUser(id)
Get Friends
You can use getFriends()
to get all the friends of the current user along with the balances. It returns a list of Friend
objects.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getFriends()
Get Groups
You can use getGroups()
to get all the groups of the current user along with the members and balances. It returns a list of Group
objects.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getGroups()
Get Currencies
You can use getCurrencies()
to get all the currencies supported by splitwise. It returns a list of Currency
objects.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getCurrencies()
Get Category
You can use getCategories()
to get all the categories and sub categories provided by splitwise. It returns a list of Category
objects.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getCategories()
Get Group
You can use getGroup(id)
to get the particular group of the current user along with the members and balances. It returns a Group
object. Use id as 0 to get all non group expenses.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getGroup(43233)
Get Expenses
You can use getExpenses(offset,limit,group_id,friendship_id,dated_after,dated_before,updated_after,updated_before)
to get all the expenses of the current user based on filter options. It returns a list of Expense
objects.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getExpenses()
Get Expense
You can use getExpense(id)
to get the particular expense of the current user. It returns a Expense
object.
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
sObj.getExpense(43233)
Create Expense
You can use createExpense(Expense)
to create a new Expense. It takes in parameter a partial Expense
object and returns an Expense
object.
Following things need to be set on the Expense
object.
- Cost
- Description
- Users - Should be a list of
ExpenseUser
with id and paidShare and owedShare set.
from splitwise.expense import Expense
from splitwise.user import ExpenseUser
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
expense = Expense()
expense.setCost('10')
expense.setDescription("Testing")
user1 = ExpenseUser()
user1.setId(79774)
user1.setPaidShare('10.00')
user1.setOwedShare('2.0')
user2 = ExpenseUser()
user2.setId(281236)
user2.setPaidShare('0.00')
user2.setOwedShare('8.00')
users = []
users.append(user1)
users.append(user2)
expense.setUsers(users)
expense = sObj.createExpense(expense)
print expense.getId()
Create Group
You can use createGroup(Group)
to create a new Group. It takes in parameter a partial Group
object and returns an Group
object.
Following things need to be set on the Group
object.
- Name
- Users - Should be a list of
User
with either FirstName, LastName and Email or just Id set.
from splitwise.group import Group
from splitwise.user import User
sObj = Splitwise(Config.consumer_key,Config.consumer_secret)
sObj.setAccessToken(session['access_token'])
group = Group()
group.setName("Testing")
user1 = User()
user1.setId(79774)
user2 = User()
user2.setId(281236)
users = []
users.append(user1)
users.append(user2)
group.setMembers(users)
group = sObj.createGroup(group)
print group.getId()
