BigBlueButton Python API

The work of this project is derivated from https://github.com/schallis/django-bigbluebutton 98f2259fa3 by Steve Challis.

It is a wrapper for accessing the API of bigbluebutton http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/API

A simple example:

.. code-block:: python

import argparse from bigbluebutton import MeetingSetup, Meeting import bbb_settings

if name == 'main': PARSER = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='creates and join a session') PARSER.add_argument('--meeting_name', dest="meeting_name", type=str, required=True, help='name of the meeting') PARSER.add_argument('--meeting_id', dest='meeting_id', required=True, help='id for the meeting') PARSER.add_argument('--moderator', dest='moderator', required=True, help='name of the meeting moderator') PARSER.add_argument( '--moderator_password', dest='moderator_password', required=True, help='password for moderator') PARSER.add_argument( '--attendee_password', dest='attendee_password', required=True, help='password for attendee') PARSER.add_argument( '--url', dest='url', required=True, help='pre upload url')

   ARGS = PARSER.parse_args()

   session = MeetingSetup(bbb_settings.BBB_API_URL, bbb_settings.SALT,
                          ARGS.meeting_name, ARGS.meeting_id,
                          ARGS.attendee_password, ARGS.moderator_password,
                          pre_upload_slide=ARGS.url)
   session.create_meeting()
   print("meeting expires if noone joins in")

   meeting = Meeting(bbb_settings.BBB_API_URL, bbb_settings.SALT)
   print("MODERATOR:")
   print(meeting.join_url(ARGS.meeting_id, ARGS.moderator, ARGS.moderator_password))
   print('-------------------------------------------')

   print("RANDOM USER:")
   print(meeting.join_url(ARGS.meeting_id, 'RANDOM', ARGS.attendee_password))
   print('-------------------------------------------')

   print("ALL MEETINGS")
   print(meeting.get_meetings())
   print('-------------------------------------------')

   print("IS RUNNING (meeting is only running after someone has joined in)")
   print(meeting.is_running(ARGS.meeting_id))
   print('-------------------------------------------')

   print("END MEETING URL")
   print(meeting.end_meeting_url(ARGS.meeting_id, ARGS.moderator_password))
   print('-------------------------------------------')


   if meeting.is_running(ARGS.meeting_id):
       print("END MEETING")
       meeting.end_meeting(ARGS.meeting_id, ARGS.moderator_password)
       print('-------------------------------------------')
