• A more useful and unique API

  Dylan Brophy • 08/28/2019 at 22:16 • 0 comments

  Before this API was basically just a wrapper for Python's Requests.  Not anymore.

  New features:

  • TindieOrder and TindieProduct objects to easily access data
  • get_orders function to return a list of TindieOrders
  • functions to get average shipping cost, revenue, and time between orders

  Also these functions will parse the strings into Python objects like datetime or timedelta.  Much more useful!

  ============ RESTART: /home/nuclaer/gitrepos/TindieAPI/tindie.py ============
  >>> api = TindieOrdersAPI('[Username]', '[API Key]')
  >>> orders = api.get_orders()
  >>> for i in orders:
  	print(i.seller_payout)
  
  [8 order prices]
  >>> api.average_order_shipping()
  5.6875
  >>> api.average_order_shipping(5)  # shipping over last 5 orders
  6.0
  >>> 

• Now getting data about orders from Tindie!

  This was pretty simple and easy.  Just used requests and a simple class to provide API access.

  You'll notice, however, it's not just a list of orders.  There's also this meta part, which has some miscellaneous that I didn't find docs on or uses for.

  In each order though, there is a ton of data.  Even data for features Tindie doesn't support yet - like preordering.  Interesting!!! I certainly hope they support that soon.

  Anyway, if you are interested in more I highly suggest playing with the API.  There doesn't seem to be much docs on this, but it certainly works.
