I’m trying to get started with a new particle product using python.
Using the API docs and Guides my python script can do the following:
- Get an access token using the client id and secret
- Create a customer for a product using the access token
- Create a customer for a product using OAuth client credentials grant type.
After creating customer accounts I try to get a list of all customer accounts associated with my product.
The problem is the API response suggests no customers have been added to the product even though the previous API calls to create accounts returned the appropriate responses.
My question is what am I missing here? Seems like the users accounts are getting created, but where? They aren’t showing up in our console and subsequent API calls can’t find them.
Here’s my commented python code illustrating the problem:
client_id = 'ustring-XXXX'
client_secret = 'xx37410220xx6x04x6x81x1x2d427141db0fc0b7'
import requests
from random import randint, seed
seed()
particle_url_root = 'https://api.particle.io'
# Get an access token using the client_id and client_secret
params = {
'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
'client_id': client_id,
'client_secret': client_secret,
}
get_token_url = 'https://api.particle.io/oauth/token'
response = requests.post(get_token_url, params)
if 'access_token' not in response.json().keys():
raise Exception('Access token not available. Your client_id and client_secret are probably wrong.')
access_token = response.json()['access_token']
# create the access_token http header
access_token_header = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + access_token}
# Get the product
endpoint = '/v1/products'
response = requests.get(particle_url_root + endpoint,
headers=access_token_header)
product = response.json()['products'][0]
# create the user params
user_params = {
'email': 'user+' + str(randint(0, 100000)) + '@gmail.com',
'no_password': True
}
# Create a new user using the access_token_header and the /v1/products endpoint
new_customer_endpoint = '/v1/products/' + str(product['id']) + '/customers'
response = requests.post(particle_url_root + new_customer_endpoint,
user_params,
headers=access_token_header)
if not response.json()['ok']:
raise Exception('User could not be created. The email address has probably been used previously.')
# update the user params to test creating new users with the client_id and client_secret
user_params = {
'client_id': client_id,
'client_secret': client_secret,
'email': 'user+' + str(randint(0,100000)) + '@gmail.com',
'no_password': True
}
# Create a new user using the client_id and client_secret and the /v1/products endpoint
response = requests.post(particle_url_root + new_customer_endpoint,
user_params)
if 'scope' not in response.json():
raise Exception('User could not be created. The email address has probably been used previously.')
# Get all customers
endpoint = '/v1/products/' + str(product['id']) + '/customers'
response = requests.get(particle_url_root + endpoint,
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + access_token})
print 'List of customers for product: '
print response.json()['customers']
