PolrApi

This file defines the main component of the Mypolr package: the PolrApi class.

class mypolr.polr_api.PolrApi(api_server, api_key, api_root='/api/v2/')

Url shorter instance that stores server and API key

Parameters:

• api_server (str) – The url to your server with Polr Project installed.
• api_key (str) – The API key associated with a user on the server.
• api_root (str) – API root endpoint.

lookup(lookup_url, url_key=None)

Looks up the url_ending to obtain information about the short url.

If it exists, the API will return a dictionary with information, including the long_url that is the destination of the given short url URL.

The lookup object looks like something like this:

{
    'clicks': 42,
    'created_at':
        {
            'date': '2017-12-03 00:40:45.000000',
            'timezone': 'UTC',
            'timezone_type': 3
        },
    'long_url': 'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python',
    'updated_at':
        {
            'date': '2017-12-24 13:37:00.000000',
            'timezone': 'UTC',
            'timezone_type': 3
        }
}

Parameters:

• lookup_url (str) – An url ending or full short url address
• url_key (str or None) – optional URL ending key for lookups against secret URLs

Returns:

Lookup dictionary containing, among others things, the long url; or None if not existing

Return type:

dict or None

lookup_no_raise(*args, **kwargs)

Calls PolrApi.lookup(*args, **kwargs) but returns None instead of raising module errors.

shorten(long_url, custom_ending=None, is_secret=False)

Creates a short url if valid

Parameters:

• long_url (str) – The url to shorten.
• custom_ending (str or None) – The custom url to create if available.
• is_secret (bool) – if not public, it’s secret

Returns:

a short link

Return type:

str

shorten_no_raise(*args, **kwargs)

Calls PolrApi.shorten(*args, **kwargs) but returns None instead of raising module errors.

Exceptions

All Mypolr exceptions are inherited from MypolrError and are defined in this file.

exception mypolr.exceptions.BadApiRequest

Raised when a request is malformed or otherwise is not understandable by server.

exception mypolr.exceptions.BadApiResponse(msg='Cannot interpret API response: invalid JSON.')

Raised when a response is malformed and cannot be interpreted as valid JSON.

exception mypolr.exceptions.CustomEndingUnavailable(custom_ending)

Raised when a custom ending is in use and therefore cannot be created.

Parameters:custom_ending (str) – the custom ending that was unavailable

exception mypolr.exceptions.DebugTempWarning

Temporary Warning that should be removed

exception mypolr.exceptions.MypolrError

Base class for all module exceptions

exception mypolr.exceptions.QuotaExceededError

Admins may assign quotas to users, and this is raised when it’s exceeded and service stopped.

exception mypolr.exceptions.ServerOrConnectionError(caused=None)

Raised when there is a timeout, internal server error, or any other connection error.

exception mypolr.exceptions.UnauthorizedKeyError(msg=None)

Raised when an invalid key has been used in a request.

This refers either to: the API_KEY used in all endpoints, or the URL_KEY optionally used at the lookup endpoint.

Parameters:msg –

mypolr.exceptions.no_raise(f)

Decorator/wrapper function to force return None instead of raising module exceptions.

Exceptions that can be ignored are found in mypolr.exceptions.

Testing

Use tox with conda

See: Working with Windows, conda, tox.

ResponseErrorMap

Eases the burden of making repeated calls to the same url for testing when using pytest and responses.
