Installation

To get started, you’ll need to get an account at Groupme.com. Next, you’ll need to obtain your access token so you can make API requests:

1. Login to the developer portal.
2. Click the “Access Token” button on the top menu bar.
3. Your access token is displayed in bold text. Grab it.

Lastly, install Python >= 3.4. Now you’re ready to install Groupy!

$ pip install GroupyAPI

Troubleshooting

Sometimes things go wrong. Here are some common things to check when encountering problems after installing.

It says no such package when I import groupy…

Check whether you copied the groupy package into the correct python package directory. It must be a directory on your sys.path.

I get an unauthorized error when I try to do anything…

Check that your API token is correct just before you use it to create a Groupy client.
