A python library for Cronofy
Inspired by Cronofy-Ruby
NOTE: Support for Python v2.7 was dropped as of pycronofy v2.0.0
(unless performing a system wide install, it's recommended to install inside of a virtualenv)
# Install via pip:
pip install pycronofy
# Install via setup.py:
pip install -r requirements.txt # Install core & dependencies for tests
python setup.py installOAuth tokens can be obtained for an application.
import pycronofy
# Initial authorization
cronofy = pycronofy.Client(client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID, client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET)
url = cronofy.user_auth_link('http://yourwebsite.com')
print('Go to this url in your browser, and paste the code below')
code = input('Paste Code Here: ') # raw_input() for python 2.
auth = cronofy.get_authorization_from_code(code)
# get_authorization_from_code updates the state of the cronofy client. It also returns
# the authorization tokens (and expiration) in case you need to store them.
# If that is the case, you will want to initiate the client as follows:
cronofy = pycronofy.Client(
client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID,
client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
access_token=auth['access_token'],
refresh_token=auth['refresh_token'],
token_expiration=auth['token_expiration']
)Or alternatively with a personal access token.
cronofy = pycronofy.Client(access_token=YOUR_TOKEN) # Using a personal token for testing.Expiry of tokens can be verified with the is_authorization_expired method.
cronofy.is_authorization_expired()Data center can also be specified using the SDK ID from the docs: https://docs.cronofy.com/developers/data-centers/
cronofy = pycronofy.Client(
client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID,
client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
access_token=auth['access_token'],
refresh_token=auth['refresh_token'],
token_expiration=auth['token_expiration'],
data_center='us'
)OAuth tokens can be refreshed using the refresh_authorization method.
auth = cronofy.refresh_authorization()Tokens can be revoked using the revoke_authorization method.
cronofy.revoke_authorization()# For account details
cronofy.account()
# For userinfo
cronofy.userinfo()for profile in cronofy.list_profiles():
print(profile)for calendar in cronofy.list_calendars():
print(calendar)import datetime
# Example timezone id
timezone_id = 'US/Eastern'
# Dates/Datetimes must be in UTC
# For from_date, to_date, start, end, you can pass in a datetime object
# or an ISO 8601 datetime string.
# For example:
example_datetime_string = '2016-01-06T16:49:37Z' #ISO 8601.
# To set to local time, pass in the tzid argument.
from_date = (datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(days=2))
to_date = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
events = cronofy.read_events(calendar_ids=(YOUR_CAL_ID,),
from_date=from_date,
to_date=to_date,
tzid=timezone_id # This argument sets the timezone to local, vs utc.
)
# Automatic pagination through an iterator
for event in events:
print('%s (From %s to %s, %i attending)' %
(event['summary'], event['start'], event['end'], len(event['attendees'])))
# Treat the events as a list (holding the current page only).
print(events[2])
print(len(events))
# Alternatively grab the actual list object for the current page:
page = events.current_page()
print(page[1])
# Manually move to the next page:
events.fetch_next_page()
# Access the raw data returned by the request:
events.json()
# Retrieve all data in a list:
# Option 1:
all_events = [event for event in cronofy.read_events(calendar_ids=(YOUR_CAL_ID,),
from_date=from_date,
to_date=to_date,
tzid=timezone_id)
]
# Option 2:
all_events = cronofy.read_events(calendar_ids=(YOUR_CAL_ID,),
from_date=from_date,
to_date=to_date,
tzid=timezone_id
).all()This method is essentially the same as reading events, but will only return free busy information.
from_date = (datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(days=2))
to_date = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
free_busy_blocks = cronofy.read_free_busy(calendar_ids=(YOUR_CAL_ID,),
from_date=from_date,
to_date=to_date
)
for block in free_busy_blocks:
print(block)Create a event with local timezone. (Note datetime objects or datetime strings must be UTC) You need to supply a unique event id which you can then use to retreive the event with.
import datetime
import uuid
# Example timezone id
timezone_id = 'US/Eastern'
event_id = 'example-%s' % uuid.uuid4(),
event = {
'event_id': event_id,
'summary': 'Test Event', # The event title
'description': 'Discuss proactive strategies for a reactive world.',
'start': datetime.datetime.utcnow(),
'end': (datetime.datetime.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(hours=1)),
'tzid': timezone_id,
'location': {
'description': 'My Desk!',
},
}
cronofy.upsert_event(calendar_id=cal['calendar_id'], event=event)Events can be deleted in a number of ways
# Delete using known event id
cronofy.delete_event(calendar_id=cal['calendar_id'], event_id=test_event_id)
# Delete all managed events (events inserted via Cronofy) for all user calendars.
cronofy.delete_all_events()
# Deletes all managed events for the specified user calendars.
cronofy.delete_all_events(calendar_ids=(CAL_ID,))Notification channels are used to receive push notifications informating your application of changes to calendars or profiles. This method requires an application and OAuth tokens, and will not work with a personal access token.
channel = cronofy.create_notification_channel('http://example.com',
calendar_ids=(cal['calendar_id'],)
)
# list channels
cronofy.list_notification_channels()
cronofy.close_notification_channel(channel['channel_id'])You can validate any pycronofy client call for: Authentication, required arguments, datetime/date string format. A PyCronofyValidationError will be thrown if there is an error. Some examples:
try:
cronofy.validate('create_notification_channel', 'http://example.com',
calendar_ids=(cal['calendar_id'],)
)
except pycronofy.exceptions.PyCronofyValidationError as e:
print(e.message)
print(e.fields)
print(e.method)All requests will call response.raise_on_status if the response is not OK or ACCEPTED. You can catch the exception and access the details.
try:
cronofy.upsert(event(calendar_id='ABC', event=malformed_event))
except pycronofy.exceptions.PyCronofyRequestError as e:
print(e.response.reason) # Error Message
print(e.response.text) # Response Body
print(e.request.method) # HTTP Method
print(e.request.headers) # Headers
print(e.request.url) # URL and Get Data
print(e.request.body) # Post Data
# pycronofy provides a "set_request_hook" argument to make use of requests' event hooks.

In the event of an insecure platform warning:
- Install python >= 2.7.9
- pip install requests[security] (you may need to install additional library packages)
- Call
