Resource-Specific Functionality¶

Root List Resource Functionality¶

The Root List Resource provides a set of uri-templates which can be used to retrieve a specific resource without traversing the resource tree. Each uri-template consists of a key and a uri-template. For examples, please see the Root List Resource page.

The API client allows the templates to be used through method calls on the root resource. For each uri-template, a method named get_<name> will be created. This method will take keyword arguments which will be used to replace the fields in the uri-template. We will use the following uri-template as an example.

"files": "http://reviews.example.com/api/review-requests/{review_request_id}/diffs/{diff_revision}/files/"

To use this uri-template, the get_files() method would be called. For example, you could retrieve a specific File Diff List Resource using the following code:

files = root.get_files(review_request_id=1, diff_revision=1)
