person2 = delighted.Person.create(email='[e-mail]', delay=60)

# Add a new person, but do not schedule a survey
person3 = delighted.Person.create(email='[e-mail]', send=False)

# Add a new person with full set of attributes, including a custom question
# product name, and schedule a survey with a 30 second delay
person4 = delighted.Person.create(
        email='[e-mail]',
        name='Joe Bloggs',
        properties={'customer_id': 123, 'country': 'USA',
                    'question_product_name': 'The London Trench'},
        delay=30)

# Update an existing person (identified by email), adding a name, without
# scheduling a survey

            # Do something with person
    except TooManyRequestsError as e:
        # Indicates how long to wait (in seconds) before making this request again
        e.retry_after
        continue

survey_response4 = delighted.SurveyResponse.retrieve('234')
survey_response4.score = 10
survey_response4.save()
# <delighted.SurveyResponse object at 0xabc123>

# Update (or add) survey response properties
survey_response4.person_properties = {'segment': 'Online'}

# List all survey responses, 20 per page, first 2 pages
survey_responses_page1 = delighted.SurveyResponse.all()
survey_responses_page2 = delighted.SurveyResponse.all(page=2)

# List all survey responses, 20 per page, expanding person object
survey_responses_page1_expanded = delighted.SurveyResponse.all(expand=['person'])
survey_responses_page1_expanded[0].person
# <delighted.Person object at 0xabc123>

# List all survey responses, 20 per page, for a specific trend (ID: 123)
survey_responses_page1_trend = delighted.SurveyResponse.all(trend='123')

# List all survey responses, 20 per page, in reverse chronological order (newest first)
survey_responses_page1_desc = delighted.SurveyResponse.all(order='desc')

# List all survey responses, 100 per page, page 5, with a time range
import pytz
timezone = pytz.timezone('America/Chicago')
filtered_survey_responses = delighted.SurveyResponse.all(
    page=5,
    per_page=100,
    since=timezone.localize(datetime.datetime(2014, 3, 1)),

metrics = delighted.Metrics.retrieve()

# Get current metrics, 30-day simple moving average, from most recent response,
# for a specific trend (ID: 123)
metrics = delighted.Metrics.retrieve(trend='123')

# Get metrics, for given time range
import pytz
timezone = pytz.timezone('America/Chicago')
metrics = delighted.Metrics.retrieve(
    since=timezone.localize(datetime.datetime(2013, 10, 1)),
    until=timezone.localize(datetime.datetime(2013, 11, 1))
)

Managing Autopilot:

autopilot = delighted.AutopilotConfiguration.retrieve('email')

# List people in AutopilotMembership for the `email` platform
people_autopilot = delighted.AutopilotMembership.forEmail().list(auto_handle_rate_limits=True)
for person in people_autopilot.auto_paging_iter():
  # Do something with person

# Add people to AutopilotMembership
autopilot = delighted.AutopilotMembership.forEmail().create(person_email='[e-mail]')

# Add people to AutopilotMembership, with a full set of attributes
properties = {'customer_id': 123, 'country': 'USA', 'question_product_name': 'The London Trench'}
autopilot = delighted.AutopilotMembership.forSms().create(person_phone_number='[phone]', properties=properties)

# Delete by person id
delighted.AutopilotMembership.forSms().delete(person_id=42)

# Delete by email address
delighted.AutopilotMembership.forEmail().delete(person_email='[e-mail]')

# Delete by phone number (must be E.164 format)
delighted.AutopilotMembership.forSms().delete(person_phone_number='[phone]')

Rate limits

If a request is rate limited, a TooManyRequestsError exception is raised. You can rescue that exception to implement exponential backoff or retry strategies. The exception provides a retry_after attribute to tell you how many seconds you should wait before retrying. For example:

try:
    metrics = delighted.Metrics.retrieve()
except delighted.errors.TooManyRequestsError as err:
    retry_after_seconds = err.retry_after
    # wait for retry_after_seconds before retrying
    # add your retry strategy here ...

Advanced configuration & testing

The following options are configurable for the client:

delighted.api_key
delighted.api_base_url # default: 'https://api.delighted.com/v1/'
delighted.http_adapter # default: delighted.HTTPAdapter

By default, a shared instance of delighted.Client is created lazily in delighted.get_shared_client(). If you want to create your own client, perhaps for test or if you have multiple API keys, you can:

# Create an custom client instance, and pass as last argument to resource actions
import delighted
from delighted import Client
client = Client(api_key='API_KEY',
                api_base_url='https://api.delighted.com/v1/',
                http_adapter=HTTPAdapter())
metrics_from_custom_client = delighted.Metrics.retrieve(client=client)

# Or, you can set Delighted.shared_client yourself
delighted.shared_client = delighted.Client(
    api_key='API_KEY',
    api_base_url='https://api.delighted.com/v1/',
    http_adapter=delighted.HTTPAdapter()
)
metrics_from_custom_shared_client = delighted.Metrics.retrieve()
