Hinweis der Redaktion
- The Brandwatch API is incredibly powerful and has many uses. Just some potential use cases here: Say you want to pull specific metrics into some report you’re doing. You could write a script and pull data directly from Brandwatch through the API and generate your report Say you have 500 queries to write. You could have some “analyst” write your queries. Compile everything and with one click of a button you could upload those 500 queries all at once!
- Using the Brandwatch API Pretty simple, uses 5 basic commands, GET pulls/request data POST adds data PUT edits existing data PATCH edits parts of data, use it when PUT is too much DELETE remove data
- Using the Brandwatch API OAuth2 is used by FB, TWTR, Google Grants access to an application Provides “access tokens” that can be shared between users Data types Brandwatch recommends JSON, because this is the native format for most browsers internal scripting engines XML is a legacy format which most web applicaitons don’t use was the original format of the API1
- Cue Nate to write login access -if user successfully accesses app, will receive: - access_token: aa000000-0aaa-0000-0a00-aa00a000a00a - token_type: bearer - expires_in: 31535999 - scope: “read trust write” Access token values can be submitted with any other request to the Brandwatch API “Expires in” lets you know how long (in seconds) the access token is valid for, default for an API user is one year So basically when you make a request to the API (put, post, get, etc), you must provide the API with access tokens/must have the above information in the header Today we’re going to write the login/authorization to Brandwatch API with python class objects to give an idea of structure (which uses params, login, url So the parameters are as follows: username/pw, grant_type, client_id Login stores access token when you get it getUrl generates the URL request (formatting) for the brandwatch API After the you make this request, the API spits out an access token, you pass the access token back into the URL when you make a request Once we have this, we can write what the script actually does (here we’re retrieving project ids to use later)
