mite-python

An idiomatic Python wrapper for the Mite API.

Installation

mite can be obtained through pip:

pip install mite

Prerequisites

You will need to create an API key. The API key will be created on the mite website. Login with your user and select "Account":

Now, you can select the "My Account" on the upper right of the website.

On the page, a checkbox can be located with the text: "Allow API access". Click on the checkbox.

This will generate a key, it needs to be displayed. The key will be the api key parameter.

Once you have the generated the API Key you have to make sure to press the "Save" Button, otherwise the generated API toke won't work and you will get mite.errors.Unauthorized: HTTP 401 Unauthorized error message.

Usage

All requests are encapsulated in a Mite object. To construct this object, you need to supply it with an API key and a team name (your subdomain on Mite):

from mite import Mite

mite = Mite("<team name","<api key>")

Then you can start requesting. Let’s get a list of time entries!

print(mite.list_entries())

This will return a dictionary representing the JSON body of the response. If it fails it will throw an exception that inherits from mite.HttpException, for instance mite.NotFound for 404 Not Found errors.

For a comprehensive list of functions, take a look at the generated documentation.
