Simple yet complete Python client for ClashOfClans API.

The design phylosophy is use the same structure in the API call and the REST Url. So reading the official API documentation, client calls become intuitive.

It is available using pip. Simply type:

pip install coc

Create a new Clash of clans connector. Use the API key as the bearer_token to identify your call.

To start the client:

from coc import ClashOfClans 
coc = ClashOfClans(bearer_token=<api_key>)

To access simple URL, for instance to request all locations (GET /locations) use

r = coc.locations.get()

The locations attribute sets the uri part (with the same name), and the get method executes the http call. An analogous method named post executes a POST request instead of an GET request.

To URLs with parameters, for instance requesting a particular location given by an id (GET /locations/{locationId}) use

r = coc.locations(32000218).get()

To access the rankings of a location (GET /locations/{locationId}/rankings/{rankingId})

r = coc.locations(32000218).rankings('clans').get()
r = coc.locations(32000218).rankings.clans.get()

To include parameters in the call provide dictionary like arguments to the call:

coc.clans(name='theclan', minMembers=10).get()

This produces /clans?name=theclan&minMembers=10. The parameters are uri encoded.

Note that attributes starting with an underscore are omitted.

The response of ClashOfClans API calls is of type ApiRespose. It wrappes either a list or a dict, depending on the nature of the object contained. The contained object is the result of decoding the JSON string obtained as response.

For instance, locations returns a list of locations:

r = coc.locations.get()
r[0]['nane'] # r is a list
>> "Europe"

While, getting a location by id returns a single objcet, this is a dict:

coc.locations(32000000).get()
>>> {
  "id": 32000000,
  "name": "Europe",
  "isCountry": false
}

It is important to point out that the API never returns a list as a root object. When a list is returned it is wrapped in a dictionary with the key items. The ClashOfClans client will passe the response and extract the items list, and return it as response. In case this behaviour is not desired, the parameter extract_items should be set to False when creating the ClashObClans client.

When the results are split in more than one page (for instance, when we limit the number of results using the limit param) pagination is automatically handled by the client. In those cases the response will contain a next and previous attributes to store the ApiCall objects to get the next and the previous page. For instance:

r = coc.clans(nam='myclan', limit=5).get()
r.next # contains the next api call to use
r2 = r.next.get() # returns the second page

If the ClashOfClans client was created using the extract_items=False, pagination handling won't be available.

Response objects also contain additional information about the response. This is:

• the response headers, in the headers attribute.
• the status code, given by the status_code attribute.
• the error message, stored in the error attribute.

ClashOfClans constructor provides additional configuration:

• endpoint: to set the endpoint to use. By default it uses https://api.clashofclans.com.
• api_version: used to build the URI to request. By default is is set to v1.
• extract_items: set to True to parse the response and extract the items. When set to False the response is returned as got from requests library.

Contributions are welcome. Simply clone or fork the repo, or open an issu to discuss about bugs and features.

All library requirements are provided in the requirements.txt file. Additiolan requirements for testing are gathered in the test-requirements.txt file.

To run the tests locally, the COC_API_KEY environment variable must be set.
