OkDesk API

---

This is an async python3.6+ wrapper for the OkDesk API. It is a work in progress.

Structure

The OkDesk API is structured as follows:

• okdesk_api/api/* - contains raw API calls, and classes.
• okdesk_api/helpers - contains helper functions.
• okdesk_api/errors - contains error class
• okdesk_api/types - contains some common classes, such as
  • ApiRequest (base for all API requests)
  • OkDeskBaseClass (base for all OkDesk classes)
  • typehinted dicts. (for example, IdNamePair is a dict with type hints for all keys: {id: int, name: str})
• okdesk_api/client - contains the main client class (wrapper for the API).

Api calls

Each Api caller is an instance of

class ApiRequest:
    # method: typing.Literal["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "PATCH"], url: str, **kwargs
    def to_request(self) -> dict:
        raise NotImplementedError

    def from_response(self, result):
        raise NotImplementedError

Example of an ApiRequest:

class GetIssueRequest(types.ApiRequest):
    """
    https://okdesk.ru/apidoc#!informacziya-o-zayavke-informacziya-o-zayavke

    GET /api/v1/issues/{issue_id}

    Название 	Тип 	Обязательность 	Описание
    issue_id 	integer 	обязательный 	ID заявки

    """
    def __init__(self, issue_id: int):
        """
        
        :param issue_id: Id of the issue (ID заявки) 
        """
        self.issue_id: int = issue_id

    def to_request(self) -> dict:
        return {
            "method": "GET",
            "url": f"api/v1/issues/{self.issue_id}",
        }

    def from_response(self, result) -> Issue:
        return Issue.json_parse(result)

When you want to call API, you have to either use wrapped method from client, or call it via

await client(GetIssueRequest(issue_id=0))

It will:

1. Call GetIssueRequest.to_request()
2. Use returned dict to make a request (populating api_key, etc)
3. Call GetIssueRequest.from_response() with the result of the request as an argument, and return the result.

Alternatively, you can use: (preferred way, as it provides typehints)

await client.get_issue(issue_id=0)

ApiRequests may have such arguments, as:

• basic python types (int, str, list, bool, etc)
• datetime.datetime (will be converted according to specification)
• datetime.date (will be converted according to specification)
• type-hinted dicts (aka typing.TypedDict) from okdesk_api/types
• classes. If class is required, it may be nested in ApiRequest, itself, or used from some api file.
• okdesk_api.types.Attachment (typed dict) - Local file to be uploaded to OkDesk. go
• helpers/AttributeFilter go

Uploading files

To upload a file, you have to use okdesk_api.types.Attachment class.

request = AddMaintenanceEntityAttachmentRequest(
    maintenance_entity_id=123,
    attachments=[
      {
        "attachment": "path/to/file",
        "description": "Some description", # optional
        "is_public": True, # optional, not every endpoint supports this
      }
    ]
)
result = await client(request)

Attachment will be uploaded as multipart/form-data, mime type will be guessed from file extension, filename will be used from path.

Attribute Filter

AttributeFilter - base for the following filters:

• AttributeFilterDate - filter by date
• AttributeFilterDateTime - filter by datetime
• AttributeFilterCheckbox - filter by checkbox on/off
• AttributeFilterSelect - filter by select (one of the options)
• AttributeFilterMultiselect - filter by multiselect (one or more options)
• AttributeFilterString - filter by string

Those filters are used in such requests, as companies.GetCompanyListRequest, issues.GetIssuesListIdRequest, etc.

They are passed as an array.

Make sure you checked that the API endpoint you are using is supported by the filter you are using, because some filters are not supported by some endpoints.

Type hints

All requests are type-hinted, so you can use IDE's autocomplete to find out what arguments are required.

Also each request class includes a link to the documentation, and a description of the arguments.

Responses are only type-hinted, if you use wrapped methods from client, or if you use from_response method.

I would highly recommend looking at type hints, as they are very informative.
