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:
- Login to the developer portal.
- Click the “Access Token” button on the top menu bar.
- 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 yoursys.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.
