ADNpy aims to be an easy to use python library for interacting with the App.net API.
To install Requests, simply:
$ pip install adnpy
Documentation is available at http://adnpy.readthedocs.org/.
You are going to need an access token. If you do not already have one first create an app, then generate an access token for your app.
import adnpy
adnpy.api.add_authorization_token(<Access Token Here>)
# Create a post
post, meta = adnpy.api.create_post(text='Hello, App.net from adnpy.')
# Take a look at recent checkins
posts, meta = adnpy.api.get_explore_stream('checkins')
for post in posts:
print post
# You can even paginate through checkins using the cursor
# Using the cursor will obey rate limits, and theoretically
# allow you to page through the entire stream.
for post in adnpy.cursor(adnpy.api.get_explore_stream, 'checkins'):
print post
