To install the Weebly cloud client with pip run:

pip install weeblycloud

Tested on Python 2.7 and 3.5

To use the Weebly Cloud client libraries import the weeblycloud module and configure your API keys.

import weeblycloud

weeblycloud.CloudClient.API_KEY = "[YOUR-API-KEY]"
weeblycloud.CloudClient.API_SECRET = "[YOUR-API-SECRET]"

All future calls will use that API key and secret pairing.

try:
	account = weeblycloud.Account()
	user = account.create_user("[email protected]")
	site = user.create_site("domain.com", site_title="My Website")
	print(site.login_link())
except weeblycloud.ResponseError as err:
	print("Error: " + err.message)

try:
	pages = site.list_pages(query="help")
	for page in pages:
		print(page.get_property("title"))
except weeblycloud.ResponseError as err:
	print("Error: " + err.message)

If a request is unsuccessful, a ResponseError exception is raised. This can be caught as follows:

from weeblycloud import ResponseError

try:
	account = weeblycloud.Account()
	user = account.create_user("[email protected]")
	site = user.create_site("domain.com", site_title="My Website")
	print(site.login_link())
except ResponseError as err:
	print(err.code) # Prints the error code
	print(err.message) # Prints the error message

Methods beginning with list_ return an iterable list of results. Use a standard for loop to access the response. For instance:

sites = user.list_sites()
for site in sites:
	print(site.get_property("name"))

• The method resource.get_property(name) of a resource will return the property name of resource. If the property does not exist it will return None.
• The method resource.set_property(name, value) will set the propety name of resource to value and returns True. If the property does not exist, it will return False. Changes will not be saved until the resource.save() method is called. The Weebly Cloud API does not suppot modifying every resource type nor every property of resource types it supports. For more information, reference the Cloud API Documentation for the resource in question's PUT method.
• The method resource.id() will return the resource ID.
• Use Python's str() function to print a JSON representation of the resource's property (i.e. str(account)). To get the resources properties as a dict, use resource.properties.

Requests that take serveral optional parameters (i.e. filters or object properties) can have them passed with keyword arguments.

For instance, to sort all pages by title:

site.list_pages(filterby="title", fitlerfor="menu")

And to create a new site:

user.create_site("example.com", plan_id=4, brand_name="Brand Name")

API Documentation

• delete() delete the site.
• publish() Publishes the site.
• unpublish() Unpublishes the site.
• login_link() Generates a one-time link that will direct users to the site specified. This method requires that the account is enabled.
• set_publish_credentials( **options) Sets publish credentials to fields set in keyword arguments. If a user's site will not be hosted by Weebly, publish credentials can be provided. When these values are set, the site will be published to the location specified.
• restore(url) When a site is restored the owner of the site is granted access to it in the exact state it was when it was deleted, including the Weebly plan assigned. Restoring a site does not issue an automatic publish
• disable() Suspends access to the given user's site in the editor by setting the suspended parameter to true. If a user attempts to access the site in the editor, an error is thrown.
• enable() Re-enables a suspended site by setting the suspended parameter to false. Users can access the editor for the site. Sites are enabled by default when created.

Not every resource has a cooresponding resource class. It is possible to make a raw API call using a CloudClient object.

client = weeblycloud.CloudClient()

Using that client, call get, post, put, patch, or delete which take the parameters:

• endpoint: the endpoint to request.
• content: a python dictionary of the request's body. (opt.)
• params: query string parameters. (opt.)
• page_size (get only): page size of results (opt., default is 25)

# Create client
client = weeblycloud.CloudClient()

# Request the /account endpoint
client.get("account")

# Create client
client = weeblycloud.CloudClient()

# build endpoint with parameters
endpoint = "user/{0}/site/{1}/page/{2}".format(USER_ID, SITE_ID, PAGE_ID)

# Make the request
client.patch(endpoint, content={"title":"New Title"})

# Create client
client = weeblycloud.CloudClient()

# build endpoint with parameters
endpoint = "/user/{0}/site".format(USER_ID)

# Make the request
client.get(endpoint, params={"role":"owner"})

All requests return a WeeblyCloudResponse object or throw an Exception (see error handling). Accessing the response is easy:

response = client.get("account") # Make a request
print(str(response)) # get the response as a JSON string
# or
print(response.dict()) # get the response as a Python dictionary

If the results of a get request are paginated, then response.is_paginated will be True. To page through the results, treat the response as a Python iterator.

response.max_page contains the total number of pages. response.records is the number of total results.

###Pagination example

client = weeblycloud.WeeblyCloud()
response = client.get("user/USER_ID/site")

for page in response:
	print(page) # prints the JSON object

	# print the title for each weebly site in this page of results
	for site in page['sites']:
		print(site['site_title'])

If a pagination method is called on a WeeblyCloudResponse that isn't paginated, a PaginationError exception is raised.
