API Python Example

Question

This isn't really a question. I just wanted some place to stick some example code for when people ask about it. 

#

# 1) first install requests from the command line: python -m pip install requests

#

import requests

 

def main():

    format = 'json'

    operation = 'temp_view'

    family = sample_GEDCOM_file()

 

    url = 'https://www.familyecho.com/api/'

    payload = {'format': format, 'operation': operation, 'family': family}

    response = requests.post(url, data=payload)

 

    print(response.text)

 

def sample_GEDCOM_file():

    return """

Just adding an answer so that people don't think this is an actual question. Nothing to see here, folks.
