PyPI PyPI2 Documentation Status

About

A Python module for connecting to the Adobe Echosign REST API, without the hassle of dealing with the JSON formatting for requests/responses and the REST endpoints and their varying requirements

Documentation

The most up to date documentation can be found on pyEchosign’s RTD page.

Maintained on GitLab

This project is maintained on GitLab and mirrored to GitHub. Issues opened on the latter are still addressed.

Notes

JSON Deserialization

Most classes contain two methods to facilitate the process of receiving JSON from the REST API and turning that into Python classes. One, json_to_X() will handle the JSON formatting for a single instance, while the second - json_to_Xs() processes JSON for multiple instances. Generally, the latter is simply returning a list comprehension that calls the former.

While this is primarily useful for internal purposes - every method retrieving an Agreement from the API will call Agreement.json_to_agreement() for example - the methods are not private and available for use. Any changes to their interface will only be made following deprecation warnings.

Internal Methods and Classes

All protected and private methods; and any classes, functions, or methods found under pyEchosign.utils are subject to change without deprecation warnings however.

Any content in between double quotes (“like this”) is taken from the Echosign API documentation.
