Based on the popular requests module, this is a minimal Gab.com API client.
There is a help method available on all created objects, which can
be used to discover API methods and their call arguments.
The client object is dynamically created during init time. To speed things
up, you can create a Client object with a cached copy of the collections.json
object. Please see the example.py for one such example. To prime
a new cache, save the response of gab.Client()._get_api_collections().
Basic usage example:
>>> import gab
>>> client = gab.Client()
>>> client.help()
Gab.com API Client 0.0.1.
The following collections are known:
creating_posts
engaging_with_other_users
feeds
groups
notifications
popular
reacting_to_posts
user_details
>>>
>>> client.groups.help()
Gab.com API collection Groups.
These are the endpoints to access groups.
The following operations are defined:
group_details
group_moderation_logs
group_users
popular_groups
>>>
>>> client.groups.group_users.help()

>>>Wow! The example ran into an auth error? What the heck?
Yeah, this client library doesn't do auth, never write your own auth. Instead, use someone else's auth, and pass in a session object.
Please see example.py for a full working CLI example with authentication.
