Action Network

Overview

Action Network is an online tool for storing information and organizing volunteers and donors. It is used primarily for digital organizing and event mangement. For more information, see Action Network developer docs, SQL Mirror developer docs

Note

Authentication

Only ActionNetwork accounts of the partner tier are able to access their API. You can generate your key from the API & Sync page, located in the Start Organizing menu, under Details.

Quick Start

To instantiate a class, you can either pass in the API token as an argument or set the AN_API_TOKEN environmental variable.

from parsons import ActionNetwork

# First approach: Use API credentials via environmental variables
an = ActionNetwork()

# Second approach: Pass API credentials as arguments
an = ActionNetwork(api_token='MY_API_TOKEN')

You can then call various endpoints:

# List all people stored in Action Network
all_contacts = an.get_people()

# Add a person
an.add_person('person.email@fakeemail.com')

# Add a tag
an.add_tag('fake_tag')

# Update a person
an.update_person('fake_id', given_name='new_given_name', tags=['tag_1', 'tag_2'])

# Get all taggings associated with a specific tag
all_taggings = an.get_taggings('tag_id')

# Get a specific tagging
specific_tagging = an.get_tagging('tag_id', 'tagging_id')

# Create a tagging
tagging_payload = {
  "_links" : {
    "osdi:person" : { "href" : "https://actionnetwork.org/api/v2/people/123" }
  }
}
created_tagging = an.create_tagging('tag_id', tagging_payload)
# Result
created_tagging = {
  "_links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://actionnetwork.org/api/v2/tags/123/taggings/123"
    },
    "osdi:tag": {
      "href": "https://actionnetwork.org/api/v2/tags/123"
    },
    "osdi:person": {

    },

      },
      {

        "href": "https://actionnetwork.org/docs/v2/{rel}",
        "templated": true
      }
    ]
  },
  "identifiers": [
    "action_network:123"
  ],
  "created_date": "2014-03-18T22:25:31Z",
  "modified_date": "2014-03-18T22:25:38Z",
  "item_type": "osdi:person"
}

# Delete a tagging
an.delete_tagging('tag_id', 'tagging_id')

# Get all wrappers
all_wrappers = an.get_wrappers()

# Get a specific wrapper
specific_wrapper = an.get_wrapper('wrapper_id')

SQL Mirror

from parsons.utilities.ssh_utilities import query_through_ssh

     # Define SSH and database parameters
     ssh_host = 'ssh.example.com'
     ssh_port = 22
     ssh_username = 'user'
     ssh_password = 'pass'
     db_host = 'db.example.com'
     db_port = 5432
     db_name = 'testdb'
     db_username = 'dbuser'
     db_password = 'dbpass'
     query = 'SELECT * FROM table'

     # Use the function to query through SSH
     result = query_through_ssh(
             ssh_host, ssh_port, ssh_username, ssh_password,
             db_host, db_port, db_name, db_username, db_password, query

Creates or updates a person record. In order to update an existing record instead of creating a new one, you must supply an email or mobile number which matches a record in the database.

  • a string with the person’s email
