Hi list, For some time, I've been working on a Django-app for creating APIs. This was specifically crafted for Bitbucket.org, but we decided early on to make it reusable for others, since there's a lack of code in this area.
It's been making its rounds on HN and proggit seeing it's only alpha, but it's been well received and I feel confident enough to post it to here. Major features include: * Ties into Django's internal mechanisms, so you don't have to. * Supports OAuth out of the box (as well as Basic/Digest or custom auth.) * Doesn't require tying to models, allowing arbitrary resources. * Speaks JSON, YAML, Python Pickle & XML (and HATEOAS.) * Respects and encourages proper use of HTTP (status codes, ...) * Has built in (optional) form validation (via Django), throttling, etc. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, and hopefully the community will find this helpful! Get it here: http://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston/wiki/Home It's also documented thoroughly with examples, tips & tricks, etc.: http://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston/wiki/Documentation To top it off, it comes bundled with an extremely simple Django app (emulating a blog), with an API on top. It contains a README.txt demonstrating how to speak to the API via curl (reading both authorized and anonymous, and creating new posts.) The API specific parts live in api/, and should give a good example of how easy and powerful this is: http://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston/src/tip/examples/blogserver/ Jesper Noehr --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
