prestapyt is a library for Python to interact with the PrestaShop's Web Service API.

Learn more about the PrestaShop Web Service from the Official Prestashop Documentation.

prestapyt is a direct port of the PrestaShop PHP API Client, PSWebServiceLibrary.php

Similar to PSWebServiceLibrary.php, prestapyt is a thin wrapper around the PrestaShop Web Service: it takes care of making the call to your PrestaShop instance's Web Service, supports the Web Service's HTTP-based CRUD operations (handling any errors) and then returns the XML ready for you to work with in Python (as well as prestasac if you work with scala).

The easiest way to install prestapyt (needs setuptools):

easy_install prestapyt

Or, better, using pip:

pip install prestapyt

If you do not have setuptools, download prestapyt as a .tar.gz or .zip from Prestapyt Source Archives, untar it and run:

python setup.py install

In order to always be uptodate, the best way is to use pip from this repo with the following command :

pip install --ignore-installed git+https://github.com/prestapyt/prestapyt.git@master

from prestapyt import PrestaShopWebService
prestashop = PrestaShopWebService('http://localhost:8080/api', WEBSERVICE_KEY)

from prestapyt import PrestaShopWebServiceDict
prestashop = PrestaShopWebServiceDict('http://localhost:8080/api', WEBSERVICE_KEY)

prestashop.get('addresses') # will return the same xml message than
prestashop.search('addresses')

Note: when using PrestaShopWebServiceDict prestashop.search('addresses') will return a list of ids.

prestashop.search('addresses', options={'limit': 10})
prestashop.search('addresses', options={'display': '[firstname,lastname]', 'filter[id]': '[1|5]'})

For additional info check reference for the options.

prestashop.get('addresses', resource_id=1) or prestashop.get('addresses/1')

returns ElementTree (PrestaShopWebService) or dict (PrestaShopWebServiceDict).

You can use the full api URL

prestashop.get('http://localhost:8080/api/addresses/1')

prestashop.head('addresses')

prestashop.delete('addresses', resource_ids=4)

prestashop.delete('addresses', resource_ids=[5,6])

prestashop.add('addresses', xml)

prestashop.edit('addresses', xml)

prestashop.get('addresses', options={'schema': 'blank'})

file_name = 'sample.jpg'
fd = io.open(file_name, "rb")
content = fd.read()
fd.close()

prestashop.add('/images/products/123', files=[('image', file_name, content)])

Documentation for the PrestaShop Web Service can be found on the PrestaShop wiki: Using the REST webservice

Thanks to Prestashop SA for their PHP API Client PSWebServiceLibrary.php

Thanks to Alex Dean for his port of PSWebServiceLibrary.php to the Scala language, prestasac from which I also inspired my library.
