Python Client Library for the Points Loyalty Commerce Platform¶
This library provides a simple interface for submitting signed requests to the Points Loyalty Commerce Platform (LCP):
Quick Start¶
Install PyLCP from PyPI:
pip install pylcp
If you use the pylcp.testing module to test your apps built with PyLCP, you will need to install the Nose unit testing framework.
pip install nose
This is not installed with the run-time requirements since Nose is typically only used for testing. We don’t want to require it to be installed in your production virtual environment.
The example below shows how to submit a signed request to the LCP:
$ python
Python 2.7.9 (default, Dec 12 2014, 14:33:46)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.56)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from pylcp.api import Client
>>> client = Client(
... 'https://lcp.points.com/v1',
... key_id='my_mac_key_identifier',
... shared_secret='my_mac_key'
... )
>>> response = client.get('/accounts/my_account_id')

The PyLCP library uses the Requests library for sending HTTP requests to the LCP. In particular, responses are instances of the requests.Response class.
