Add Loops Endpoint

[lucaspenchas]

Hello, I'd really appreciate if someone can give me an example of how can I use the Loops endpoint as it's not implemented in the 'examples' page.
Thanks!
Lucas

Loops are not yet supported in this library. I guess you mean submitting a loop count?

[lucaspenchas]

Yes, I mean sending a POST request to 'api.vineapp.com/loops'. Can you add the loops feature, please? Or, how can I do that? Thanks! Lucas

Would be happy to help you out submit a pull request.

You'll need to figure out what parameters are sent in the request (probably someone has documented this already). Then you need to add an endpoint to https://github.com/davoclavo/vinepy/blob/master/vinepy/endpoints.py, including all the parameters. And finally, if the response is meaningful, we should add a Model which will be generated with the response body, otherwise leave the endpoint 'model': None'

Hi David!
I just changed the endpoints.py file and now it looks like this.
'loops': {
'endpoint': 'loops',
'request_type': 'post',
'url_params': [],
'required_params': ['ts', 'postId', 'count'],
'optional_params': [],
'default_params': [],
'model': None
},

But it gives me this error...
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\vinepy\api.py", line 32, in _inne
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\vinepy\api.py", line 46, in api_c
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\vinepy\api.py", line 155, in do_r
vinepy.errors.VineError: #3: A required parameter is missing.

Thanks!

How are you calling the loops function?

It should be something like: vine.loops(ts=1234, postId='123', count=100)

[lucaspenchas]

Hello, I'm calling it the same way as you are. Can you give me a full example, please? Also, how do I read the response Vine sends? Thanks! Lucas

[lucaspenchas]

By full example I refer to the code to make a loop submission. Because it still gives me the error #3: 'A required parameter is missing' Thanks!

[davoclavo]

It seems it is an error returned by them:

vinepy/vinepy/api.py

Line 155 in 70848f3

raise VineError(json['code'], json['error'])

Probably there is another required_parameter that has to be sent. How did you figure out you only needed ts, postId, count?

[lucaspenchas]

With the Chrome Console's Network tab. Here's the exact body of what it sends: {"loops":[{"postId":"1298378206528872448","count":1,"ts":1461957282.534}]}

[davoclavo]

Ok thanks, it seems that the request has a unique JSON structure, so we need to update the code accordingly. I'll try to make it work this weekend.

[lucaspenchas]

Ok!
Thank you!
Lucas

I just updated the endpoints file to add support for this. You should be able to use it like this:

vine.loops(loops=[{'ts': 1462148569.622568, 'count': 1, 'postId': '1333176710954463232'}])

good luck!

[lucaspenchas]

Hello, it's only submitting 9 loop counts and then it logs the 'Try again later' error. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

[davoclavo]

You are probably being rate limited, send requests less often. Make sure to use proper timestamps as well.

Hi, in python I try this :

---

import vinepy, time
from random import randint as rd
from sys import stdout as title

vine = vinepy.API(username="[email protected]", password="mypass")
vine.loops(loops=[{'ts': 1462148569.622568, 'count': 2000, 'postId': '1333176710954463232'}])

---

but its not working , you have the solution ?

[Louismariejunior]

I have a same problem , any solution ?
