Documentation - Python contribution

[joaovcoelho]

Hi there! At the website we can't find any reference for the Python use of the API, but I've found the solution (it is somebody else's code, but I've modified it a bit. I've found a guy named "Dr. Worm" using it). It could be useful if this example were at the official documentation as well, for everyone to see.

Here it goes:

import json
import requests


client_id = 'your_client_id'
client_secret = 'your_client_secret'
api_url = 'https://api.artsy.net/api/tokens/xapp_token'


# Catches token
r = requests.post(api_url, 
 	data={"client_id":client_id,
              "client_secret":client_secret})

j = json.loads(r.text)
token = j["token"]


# Connects and Requests information
headers = {"X-Xapp-Token": token}

artist = "andy-warhol"
url = "https://api.artsy.net/api/artists/" + artist

r = requests.get(url, headers = headers)

data = json.loads(r.text)

Good job, guys. Thanks for the API!
