        PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/em7api/
        
        Getting Started
        ===============
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Install from the PyPI repository
        
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            pip install em7api
        
        Prerequisites
        -------------
        
        The following are required:
        
        - URI of an existing EM7 portal
        - username
        - password
        
        Configuration file
        ------------------
        
        Create a file named .em7api located in one of these locations:
        
        - Home directory: ~/.em7api
        - Present working directory: ./.em7api
        
        File format:
        
        
        .. code-block:: ini
        
            [DEFAULT]
            uri = https://em7.example.com
            username = myEM7user
            password = myEM7password
        
        More than one environment can be configured by adding additional sections:
        
        
        .. code-block:: ini
        
            [DEFAULT]
            uri = https://em7.example.com
            username = myEM7user
            password = myEM7password
            
            [PRODUCTION]
            uri = https://prod.em7.example.com
            username = prodEM7user
            password = prodEM7user
        
            [DEV]
            uri = https://dev.em7.example.com
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        Passing credentials to the constructor
        --------------------------------------
        
        The non-default environments can be chosen by passing the environment parameter to the constructor:
        
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            import em7api
            
            dev_session = em7api.EM7API(environment='DEV', verify_ssl=False)
        
        The credentials and URI can also be passed as parameters instead of configured in a file:
        
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            import em7api
        
            session = em7api.EM7API(uri='https://em7.example.com', \
                                   username='myEM7user', \
                                   password = 'myEM7pass', \
                                   verify_ssl=False)
        
        verify_ssl option
        -----------------
        
        If SSL verification fails, the API call will fail with an SSL error.  The easiest way to deal with this is to disable ssl by setting verify_ssl to False when calling the constructor.  The verify_ssl value just gets passed to requests's verify value and can be either True, False, or the location of a CA_bundle.  This is not disabled by default due to the obvious security implications.
        
         
        .. code-block:: python
            
            import em7api
        
            dev_session = em7api.EM7API(verify_ssl=False)
        
        get
        ---
        
        Read operations are done with a get.  Doing a get with the URI of a resource will usually return a list of the related objects
        
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            print session.get('/api/account')
        
        
        Each object will have its own URI, and doing a get on that will return details of that specific object
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            print session.get('/api/account/1')
        
        limit parameter
        ---------------
        
        By default, EM7 limits its search to 100.  If the data set is greater than that, the limit parameter needs to be specified
        
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            print session.get('/api/powerpack', parameters={'limit': 200})
        
        Filters
        -------
        
        The filter parameter can be sent to filter the results.  The available filters can be found in the API browser or in the API manual
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            print session.get('/api/powerpack', parameters={'limit': 1000, \
                                                            'filter.0.name.begins_with': 'Science'})
        
        More than one filter can be added.  Each additional filter needs its number incremented.
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            print session.get('/api/powerpack', parameters={'limit': 1000, \
                                                            'filter.0.name.begins_with': 'Science', \
                                                            'filter.1.name.contains': 'EM7'})
        
        post
        ----
        
        Adding and updating objects is done with a post.  The data dictionary contains the details that need to be set for the new or updated object.  Whatever is not specified in the data dictionary will mostly be left alone or set to a default value.  The following would add a new organization, specifying the company name and leaving the rest blank:
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            session.post('/api/organization', data={'company': 'My Company'})
        
        To update an existing object, specify its own URI as the resource, and pass the changes in the data dictionary
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            session.post('/api/organization/1', data={'company': 'Your Company'})
        
        put
        ---
        
        Updates can also be done with a put.  This is more restrictive, as it requires the object to already exist and requires a larger set of the objects' details to be sent in the data dictionary, otherwise it will result in an error.
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            session.put('/api/organization/1', data={'company': 'Another Company', \
                                                     'address': '', \
                                                     'city': 'New York', \
                                                     'state': 'NY', \
                                                     'zip': '', \

                                                     'contact_fname': '', \
                                                     'contact_lname': '', \
                                                     'title': '', \
                                                     'dept': '', \
                                                     'billing_id': '', \
                                                     'crm_id': '', \
                                                     'phone': '', \
                                                     'fax': '', \
                                                     'tollfree': '', \
                                                     'email': '', \
                                                     'date_create': None, \
                                                     'date_edit': '', \
                                                     'updated_by': '/api/account/1', \
                                                     'theme': '1', \
                                                     'longitude': '', \
                                                     'latitude': '', \
                                                     'notification_append': None})
        
        delete
        ------
        
        Objects can be removed with a delete.
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            session.delete('/api/organization/1')
