Python Mattermost Driver (APIv4)
================================

Info
----

The repository will try to keep up with the master of https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-api-reference

If something changes, it is most likely to change because the official mattermost api changed.

Installation
------------

.. inclusion-marker-start-install

``pip install mattermostdriver``

.. inclusion-marker-end-install

Documentation
-------------
Documentation can be found at https://vaelor.github.io/python-mattermost-driver/ .

Usage
-----

.. inclusion-marker-start-usage

.. code:: python

    from mattermostdriver import Driver

    foo = Driver({
        # Required options
        'url': 'mattermost.server.com',
        'login_id': 'user.name',
        'password': 'verySecret',
        # Instead of login/password you can also use a personal access token
        'token': 'YourPersonalAccessToken',
        # Optional / defaults to
        'scheme': 'https',
        'port': 8065,
        'basepath': '/api/v4',
        # Use False if self signed/insecure certificate
        'verify': True,
        # The interval the websocket will ping the server to keep the connection alive
        'timeout': 30,
        'mfa_token': 'YourMFAToken'
    })

    # Most of the requests need you to be logged in, so calling login()
    # should be the first thing you do after you created your Driver instance.
    # login() returns the raw response
    # If using a personal access token, you still need to run login().
    # In this case, does not make a login request, but a `get_user('me')`
    # and sets everything up in the client.
    foo.login()

    # You can make api calls by using calling `Driver.endpointofchoice`.
    # Using api[''] is deprecated for 5.0.0!
    # So, for example, if you used `Driver.api['users'].get_user('me')` before,
    # you now just do `Driver.users.get_user('me')`.
    # The names of the endpoints and requests are almost identical to
    # the names on the api.mattermost.com/v4 page.
    # API calls always return the json the server send as a response.
    foo.users.get_user_by_username('another.name')

    # If the api request needs additional parameters
    # you can pass them to the function in the following way:
    # - Path parameters are always simple parameters you pass to the function
    foo.users.get_user(user_id='me')

    # - Query parameters are always passed by passing a `params` dict to the function
    foo.teams.get_teams(params={...})

    # - Request Bodies are always passed by passing an `options` dict or array to the function
    foo.channels.create_channel(options={...})

    # See the mattermost api documentation to see which parameters you need to pass.
    foo.channels.create_channel(options={
        'team_id': 'some_team_id',
        'name': 'awesome-channel',
        'display_name': 'awesome channel',
        'type': 'O'
    })

    # If you want to make a websocket connection to the mattermost server
    # you can call the init_websocket method, passing an event_handler.
    # Every Websocket event send by mattermost will be send to that event_handler.
    # See the API documentation for which events are available.
    foo.init_websocket(event_handler)

    # To upload a file you will need to pass a `files` dictionary
    channel_id = foo.channels.get_channel_by_name_and_team_name('team', 'channel')['id']
    file_id = foo.files.upload_file(
                channel_id=channel_id
                files={'files': (filename, open(filename))})['file_infos'][0]['id']

    # track the file id and pass it in `create_post` options, to attach the file
    foo.posts.create_post(options={
        'channel_id': channel_id,
        'message': 'This is the important file',
        'file_ids': [file_id]})
    # If needed, you can make custom requests by calling `make_request`
    foo.client.make_request('post', '/endpoint', options=None, params=None, data=None, files=None, basepath=None)
    # If you want to call a webhook/execute it use the `call_webhook` method.
    # This method does not exist on the mattermost api AFAIK, I added it for ease of use.
    foo.hooks.call_webhook('myHookId', options) # Options are optional
