Python module for GJAPI

This is awesome, man. I'll keep an eye on this thread to know when it's stable/done so I can update the landing page with Python as being a supported language!

Hello and I'm back with news.

I tried some few things and finally choosed to use json to retrieve the information, but the true return value of the functions are python dictionaries. The latter are up to the developer to handle, like the structure of the informations received and errors messages because of bad parameters.

I'm also having some doubts about the Data Store. It seems that I don't how to handle the parameter named key. Because the module needs some testing to grant that it's working properly, I wish some insight on how this particular feature works. The API Doc only gives information how to retrieve it, but not what is it.

Thanks in advance! The module is close to be finished and the first version, released!

The Data Storage returns whatever you put into it. For Data Storage you will probably want to use Dump as that will just return out whatever text you put in. That's how I handled it in my C# API.

The Data Store can hold any form of text to a certain size limit (not sure how big), so if you want to save a config file or something else you can just shove it at the Data Store and then get it back when you need it.

The key is the name of the "file" you want to save it as. For example if you wanted to store a config file you would pass it as a key of "config" or something similar. Effectively this means that the Data Store is little more than a dictionary.

Does that help?

Of course! So I digged the C# source code but couldn't find anything related to Data Store, so I want a hand on that.

My problem actually is about user interface. Each communication in the API is made by a single method from the GameJoltTrophy class. That's why I return a dictionary object, because I'm letting the user handle the information in a easy and compatible way for every python program.

Gonna bring feedback after trying some stuff! Thanks!

It's finally out! The main post was edited and everything works just fine now!

I'm putting it up on the achievements landing page now.

Perhaps you should put it on the PyPi too, for those of us who don't like installing modules by hand?

The code is open and you can do whatever you want with it.
It's been too longe since I messed up with it.

im makeing a achevment of chaos

So, how do I use this?

can someone tell me what im supposed to do with it? i think im supposed to edit "py_gjiapi.py" to fit my code,

Is it possible to use it in RenPy?

Also: what is the license?

No, you will just import the module and create an instance of 'GameJoltTrophy'.

Never tested it. If something goes wrong or if you succeed in doing so, you provide a feedback.

ugh, this looks so confusing... how do i do a basic login?

OK, but what is the license? My game is under GNU GPLv3, I need something compatible.

It definitely can work with Ren'Py. But not in a plug'n play fashion like "you put the .py, you put the values and it magically works". I'm gonna try, see if i can make a working sample.

okay, i know how this works now but... how would i use the valid user function?

Still no info on the license. Look, a license for the code is important stuff for many people, especially in the FLOSS communities (like me). If you don't care then just write that it's public domain or CC0, or BSD license or WTFPL, and just attach a file with this license to the code repository and nobody will ask about this again.

(other good, permissive licenses for libs are: LGPL, MIT, zlib)

edit: I apologize, I never thought to look into the code file, but kept looking all around in readmes, etc. This code is under LGPL, it's sad in the code file in the header.

Hiw do I use authenticate user?

Does this work for Ren-Py, and if so, could someone link me a tutorial on implementing it into a Ren-Py game?

Valeu Thanks! :)

It seems that you can not save scores, for a table other than Main, although they already believe you to allow guests, do not record them, even if you indicate the name!

I have already solved the problem, replace the name with the ID number of the table.-
Sorry

could you make some tutorials on it?

How do I use this???

This module is kinda outdated and doesn't have the stuff from API 1.2, but here's a little tutorial:

Import the module:

from py_gjapi import GameJoltTrophy

Connect to GameJolt:

gamejolt = GameJoltTrophy(gj_username,gj_token,game_id,private_key)

(Optional) Check successful login:

gamejolt.authenticateUser()

Open a session:

gamejolt.openSession()

Then do whatever you want

You can make the friend system?

funny

does this api still work? last time I used it it errored out, I was wondering cause I really wanted to put gamejolt api into my pygame game.

tested it last time around 2 months ago and it worked perfectly fine
