Easy peasy wrapper for the HipChat API. Exposes core URI endpoint wrapper and some basic methods for common integrations.

None beyond the Python standard library.

Install:

pip install python-simple-hipchat

Instantiate:

import hipchat
hipster = hipchat.HipChat(token=YourHipChatToken)

Request a URI endpoint as described in the HipChat API docs:

hipster.method(url='method/url/', method="GET/POST", parameters={'name':'value', })

Example methods:

# List rooms
hipster.method('rooms/list')

# Post a message to a HipChat room
hipster.method('rooms/message', method='POST', parameters={'room_id': 8675309, 'from': 'HAL', 'message': 'All your base...'})

Two handy shortcut methods:

# List rooms, print response JSON
print hipster.list_rooms()

# POST a message to a room, print response JSON
print hipster.message_room(8675309, 'HAL', 'All your base...')
