Catchpoint has two types of APIs, a push (subscriber) API and a pull REST API. This module is a wrapper for the REST API.

API documentation is available to Catchpoint customers.

Tested on Python 2.7.5

Modules:

• datetime
• pytz
• requests

python setup.py install

# import the module
import catchpoint

# define your catchpoint credentials
creds = {
    'client_id': 'yourclientid',
    'client_secret': 'yourclientsecret'
}

# create a Catchpoint object
cp = catchpoint.Catchpoint()

# query the API, always pass the creds
print cp.favorite_charts(creds)
print cp.favorite_details(creds, myfav)

Catchpoint's API requires specific UTC formatted timestamps when requesting datasets. These can be made relative by setting startTime to a negative integer that represents number of minutes into the past, and set endTime to 'now'.

Example for retreiving the last 60 minutes of data:

cp = catchpoint.Catchpoint()
myfav = "12345"
startTime = -60
endTime = "now"
print cp.favorite_data(creds, myfav, startTime, endTime)
