Python Example

1) Fetch Public Room

The provided Python script is designed to make an HTTP GET request to a specified URL and handle the response accordingly. The URL corresponds to a public room API endpoint with an optional API key. The script attempts to fetch data from the API and prints the result.

				
					import requests

url = "https://100096.pythonanywhere.com/api/v2/publicroom/?api_key=c2636d98-4f43-4be1-9e3b-47cdfcbe832b"

payload = {"name": "pchavda", "domain": "gmail.com"}

try:
    response = requests.get(url)

    if response.status_code == 201:
        print("Resource created successfully")
        # Optionally, you can also print or process the response data
        data = response.json()
        print(data)
    else:
        print(f"Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}")
        print(response.text)

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Request failed with an exception: {e}")

2) Create Public Room

This Python script utilizes the requests library to send a POST request to a specified URL. The request includes a JSON payload containing organizational, product, and portfolio information. Upon successful creation (HTTP status code 201), it prints a success message along with the response data. In case of failure, it prints the status code and response text. The script is designed for interacting with the specified API endpoint to create a resource associated with a public room, using the provided API key.

				
					import requests

url = "https://100096.pythonanywhere.com/api/v2/publicroom/?api_key=c2636d98-4f43-4be1-9e3b-47cdfcbe832b"

payload = {
    "org_id": "01830367e332471aa8e7f6514b34da45",
    "product_name": "PUBLICCHAT",
    "portfolio_name": "01830367e332471aa8e7f6514b34da45PUBLICCHAT",
}

try:
    response = requests.post(url, json=payload)

    if response.status_code == 201:
        print("Resource created successfully")
        # Optionally, you can also print or process the response data
        data = response.json()
        print(data)
    else:
        print(f"Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}")
        print(response.text)

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Request failed with an exception: {e}")

3) Get Message

This Python script utilizes the `requests` library to send a GET request to a specified URL, querying messages for a given room. The script includes error handling for both successful and unsuccessful responses, providing a brief message along with optional processing of the response data. The documentation should highlight its purpose in retrieving messages for a specific room via a RESTful API.

				
					import requests

url = "https://100096.pythonanywhere.com/api/v2/room-service/?type=get_messages&room_id=6579be812c536f8bcbd2ff43"

payload = {"name": "pchavda", "domain": "gmail.com"}

try:
    response = requests.get(url)

    if response.status_code == 201:
        print("Resource created successfully")
        # Optionally, you can also print or process the response data
        data = response.json()
        print(data)
    else:
        print(f"Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}")
        print(response.text)

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Request failed with an exception: {e}")

4) Create Message

The payload includes details such as the room ID, message type, content, and author. Upon a successful request (HTTP status code 201), it prints “Resource created successfully” along with the response data. If the request fails, it prints the corresponding status code and response text. The script is wrapped in a try-except block to handle any exceptions that might occur during the request.

				
					import requests

url = "https://100096.pythonanywhere.com/api/v2/room-service/"

payload = {
    "room_id": "6579be812c536f8bcbd2ff43",
    "type": "create_message",
    "message_data": "<content of the message>",
    "side": False,
    "author": "<message author>",
    "message_type": "text",
}

try:
    response = requests.post(url, json=payload)

    if response.status_code == 201:
        print("Resource created successfully")
        # Optionally, you can also print or process the response data
        data = response.json()
        print(data)
    else:
        print(f"Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}")
        print(response.text)

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Request failed with an exception: {e}")
