Python Example

NOTE: Get an APIKey.

This code will allow you to get a session, fetch account info, upload a file, and search games. From it you should be able to discern how to work with the entire TGC API.

 import requests #Found at python-requests.org/
 
 url="https://www.thegamecrafter.com/api" 
 api_key_id = '' #Replace with yours
 username = '' #Replace with yours
 password = '' #Replace with yours
 
 #Get a Session
 params = {'api_key_id': api_key_id, 'username' : username, 'password': password}
 response = requests.post(url + "/session", params=params)
 if response.status_code==200:
   print("----Status code OK!----")
 print("---Get a session---")
 print(response.json())
 print("-------------------")
 session = response.json()['result']
 
 # Fetch my account info
 params = {'session_id': session['id']}
 response = requests.get(url + "/user/" + session['user_id'], params=params)
 print("---Get account info---")
 print(response.json())
 print("----------------------")
 user = response.json()['result']
 root_folder_id = user['root_folder_id']
 
 # Upload a file
 params = {
  'name': 'example.png',
  'folder_id': root_folder_id,
  'session_id': session['id']
 }
 files = { 'file': open('example.png','rb') }
 response = requests.post(url + "/file", params=params, files=files)
 print("---Upload response---")
 print(response.json())
 print("---------------------")
 
 # Search Games
 params = {
   'q' : 'Steampunk',
   'session_id': session['id'] #optional
 }
 response = requests.get(url + "/game", params=params)
 print("----- Results -----")
 print(response)
 print("------ Done! -------")
