Usage Examples

[roman-ku]

How do I operate this thing? Would be nice to have some quick usage examples for common tasks.

I agree! Where are you in the process? I got my key/tokens working. Still need to figure out if my GET request is working well or not. lol @roman-ku

So through some trial and error, I made it do what I want.

To figure out what you can do try this:

from pprint import pprint as pp
pp(dir(client))

That will give you a list of possibles methods, and you can go from there.

Another thing is to look at the files in /test and in /trello and the official trello API itself.

Here is the script I hacked together, maybe that can also help: https://gist.github.com/roman-ku/749125c854e30351112ccad8f2175687

@roman-ku thanks! Did you manage to get the tests working? I get

$ python -m unittest discover

Ran 0 tests in 0.000s

OK

:(

[roman-ku]

Yep! Hopefully that was helpful.

Sorry, nope I didn't. But then again I didn't try since I wasn't modifying the source, and had no need to run any tests. Hopefully you can figure it out, good luck!

I have just finished writing a simple script exporting the titles of all cards of the starred boards to Markdown, feel free to (re)use it:

from trello import TrelloClient

# https://trello.com/app-key
TRELLO_API_KEY = ""
# https://trello.com/app-key at the very bottom
TRELLO_API_SECRET = ""

# export TRELLO_API_KEY="" && export TRELLO_API_SECRET="" && python utils.py
TRELLO_OAUTH = ""
# enter the PIN from the page from the step before
TRELLO_OAUTH_SECRET = ""

def main():
    client = TrelloClient(
        api_key=TRELLO_API_KEY,
        api_secret=TRELLO_API_SECRET,
        token=TRELLO_OAUTH,
        token_secret=TRELLO_OAUTH_SECRET
    )

    boards = client.list_boards(board_filter='starred')

    for b in boards:
        print("\n# {}\n\n".format(b.name))
        print_board(b)

def print_board(board):
    lists = board.list_lists()
    for l in lists:
        print("\n## {}\n".format(l.name))
        print_list(l)

def print_list(lst):
    cards = lst.list_cards()
    for c in cards:
        print("* {}".format(c.name))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Thank you @berezovskyi !

[akakiev]

I want to return/print all trello cards that have been done, another words all trello cards from one "List Done" list but not from all lists in board. How can I do that ?

[mbbroberg]

Your post was a godsend @berezovskyi. I was able to get running using it, forking the source code, and running the python/util.py command as described to get my token and token secret set up.

Thank you! :pray:
