pythonsimplehipchat 0.4.0

Description
Easy peasy wrapper for the HipChat API v1. Exposes core URI endpoint wrapper and some basic methods for common integrations.

Dependencies
None beyond the Python standard library.

Usage
Install:
pip install python-simple-hipchat
Instantiate:
import hipchat
hipster = hipchat.HipChat(token=YourHipChatToken)
Request a URI endpoint as described in the HipChat API docs:
hipster.method(url='method/url/', method="GET/POST", parameters={'name':'value', })
Example:
# List rooms
hipster.method('rooms/list')

# Post a message to a HipChat room
hipster.method('rooms/message', method='POST', parameters={'room_id': 8675309, 'from': 'HAL', 'message': 'All your base...'})

API Sugar
To send a message to a room, either a Notification or Admin token can be used. All other methods require an Admin token. See HipChat’s auth docs for more information.
Send a message to a room:
room_id = 8675309
from_name = 'HAL'
message = 'All your base...'

hipster.message_room(room_id, from_name, message)

# per HipChat, color can be "yellow", "red", "green", "purple", "gray", or "random"
message_color = 'gray'
hipster.message_room(room_id, from_name, message, color=message_color)

# notify users in the room
message_color = 'red'
hipster.message_room(room_id, from_name, message, color=message_color, notify=True)
List rooms:
hipster.list_rooms()
Find room by name:
room = hipster.find_room('Room Name')
print "Room Name has room id = %s" % (room['room_id'])
List users:
hipster.list_users()
Find user by name:
user = hipster.find_user('Raleigh Becket')
print "Raleigh Becket's status is = %s" % (user['status'])
