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/api/v2/people/123"
    },
    "curies": [
      {
        "name": "osdi",
        "href": "https://actionnetwork.org/docs/v2/{rel}",
        "templated": true
      },
      {
        "name": "action_network",
        "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
     )

     # Output the result
     print(result)

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.

Identifiers are intentionally not included as an option on this method, because their use can cause buggy behavior if they are not globally unique. ActionNetwork support strongly encourages developers not to use custom identifiers.

Parameters:

email_address –
Either email_address or mobile_number are required. Can be any of the following
- a string with the person’s email
- a list of strings with a person’s emails
- a list of dictionaries with the following fields
  - address (REQUIRED)
  - primary (OPTIONAL): Boolean indicating User’s primary email address
  - status (OPTIONAL): can taken on any of these values
    
    ”subscribed”
    
    ”unsubscribed”
    
    ”bouncing”
    
    ”previous bounce”
    
    ”spam complaint”
    
    ”previous spam complaint”
given_name – Person’s given name
family_name – Person’s family name
tags – Optional field. A list of strings of pre-existing tags to be applied to the person.
languages_spoken – Optional field. A list of strings of the languages spoken by the person
postal_addresses – Optional field. A list of dictionaries. For details, see Action Network’s documentation: https://actionnetwork.org/docs/v2/person_signup_helper
mobile_number –
Either email_address or mobile_number are required. Can be any of the following
- a string with the person’s cell phone number
- an integer with the person’s cell phone number
- a list of strings with the person’s cell phone numbers
- a list of integers with the person’s cell phone numbers
- a dictionary with the following fields
  - number (REQUIRED)
  - primary (OPTIONAL): Boolean indicating User’s primary mobile number
  - status (OPTIONAL): can taken on any of these values
    
    ”subscribed”
    
    ”unsubscribed”
mobile_status – None, ‘subscribed’ or ‘unsubscribed’. If included, will update the SMS opt-in status of the phone in ActionNetwork. If not included, won’t update the status. None by default, causes no updates to mobile number status. New numbers are set to “unsubscribed” by default.
background_processing – bool If set true, utilize ActionNetwork’s “background processing”. This will return an immediate success, with an empty JSON body, and send your request to the background queue for eventual processing. https://actionnetwork.org/docs/v2/#background-processing
**kwargs – Any additional fields to store about the person. Action Network allows any custom field.
