Parsely API Python Binding

This library provides a pure Python interface for the Parsely API. The documentation, on which this binding is based, can be found here

Installation

python-parsely is available on PyPI. To download it, use pip:

pip install python-parsely

Getting the Code

git clone this repository - it's the primary source of the python-parsely code.

git clone http://github.com/Parsely/python-parsely.git

Using python-parsely

To use Parsely from Python, first import it

>>> from parsely.parsely import Parsely

Create a new Parsely object with your public and private API keys

>>> p = Parsely("mysite.com", secret="asf98gf7aw98ev7nwe98vfayewfa9hew8f7ha")

To get a list of recent top posts, use

>>> posts = p.analytics()

The objects in this list are Posts:

>>> posts[1]
<models.Post instance at 0x21bc828>

You can pass these Posts to other library functions. meta_detail returns a list of Posts sharing the same aspect as the Post you give it.

>>> p.meta_detail(posts[1], aspect="section")[1:2]
[<models.Post instance at 0x21bc828>]

post_detail gives more detailed information on the Post

>>> p.post_detail(posts[1])

You can also use the library to get shares and referrers information surrounding given posts.

>>> p.referrers_meta_detail(posts[1], meta="author")
>>> p.referrers_post_detail(posts[1])
>>> p.shares()
>>> p.shares(post=posts[1])

The realtime call can be used to make a live-updating feed of pageview data:

import time
for i in range(1,5):
    real = p.realtime(limit=1)
    for r in real:
        print "%s: %d" % (r.title, r.hits)
        print "\n"
    time.sleep(3)

Recommendations API

The library handles personalized recommendations via the User class

>>> from recommendations import User
>>> user = User(p, "myuuid")

You can train a user profile with a post

>>> user.train(posts[1])

Get a user's history with history

>>> user.history()

Receive personalized User recommendations with related

>>> user.related()

Testing

To run the unit tests for this library, use

python tests.py
