Python 3 Self Hosted Active Collab 5 CLI application.
Python 3 only Cli app for working with the self hosted collab api. Very unstable and prone to breaking.
https://developers.activecollab.com/api-documentation
Getting Started
Install requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a config file:
cp example-config.json config.json
Edit config settings. Leave password empty if you want to be asked for it every
time you launch the cli. I'm not sure what client_name is for but it needs to
be set to authenticate against the api. The client_vendor is probably the name
of your company. Url is the full url of your active collab instance plus the
endpoint of the api e.g https://activecollab.example.com/api/v1.
Run the cli
chmod +x cli.py
./cli.py
Features
- Tab complete on almost every single field.
- Fuzzy completion on almost every field.
Create a time Record
- Can track time to a task, can be left blank
- Value can accept standard '0:30' or '0.5' but also accepts an int of minutes. E.g '15' or '120'
- Summary can user Ctrl+x Ctrl+e to launch $EDITOR for editing the message
List daily records
- Compute the daily total as well as billable/non billable hours
List weekly records
- Compute the weekly total as well as billable/non billable hours
Using pyactivecollab.py for connecting to api
Sample Script:
from pyactivecollab import Config, ActiveCollab
import getpass
# Load config, ensure password
config = Config()
config.load()
if not config.password:
config.password = getpass.getpass()
ac = ActiveCollab(config)
ac.authenticate()
print(ac.get_info())
