This section aims to aid developers who are looking for REST API python code samples. For an existing API that uses python and the ArcGIS Online REST API, see ArcREST: https://github.com/esri/arcrest ##agol.py: ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Superclass agol-helper includes the AGOL superclass that retrieves a token, the organization short url and organization ID. The methods used to grab these attributes are commonly used for any workflow.

>>> me = AGOL("username", "password")
>>> me.token # Grabs the token.
>>> me.short # Grabs the organization short url.
>>> me.orgID # Grabs the organization ID.

The subclasses (i.e. community, geocodeService, portals) mimic the structure of the ArcGIS Online REST API help: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#//02r300000054000000

For example, community.py contains Group Search and User Search, which are resources accessed using the community root url. These resources are documented in Managing your organization > Community in the REST API help.

Group Search: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#/Group_Search/02r3000000m1000000/

User Search: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#/User_Search/02r3000000m6000000/

The code samples should be easy to find, allowing developers to use these samples when creating their own workflows. Each method's documentation contains a link to the appropriate help page as well.

###community.py community contains methods that use the community root url. The methods are related to users and groups.

>>> me = community("username", "password")
>>> test = me.groupSearch()

###geocodeService.py geocodeService contains methods that use the Geocode Service.

>>> me = geocodeService("username", "password")
>>> test = me.geocodeAddresses()

portals contains methods that use the portals root url.

>>> me = portals("username", "password")
>>> test = me.portalSelfRoles()

These are incomplete templates. Please feel free to contribute.
