Simple Django REST API based social network, with scripts to demonstrate API functionalities.

Python libraries needed to run this project are: django, clearbit, djangorestframework, djangorestframework-simplejwt and python-dotenv. I used pip install commands to get latest versions of each.

To make traderbook and test fuctionalities, you need to make migrations and create superuser/admin for server. Make sure to remember your superuser email and password for later.

After that you should run server and you are good to go!

In order to test API functionality, you should use functions provided in "bot_functions.py" file. I recommend opening a python instance in same folder, and run demostration like following:

import above mentioned file

import bot_functions as bf

First you'll need to make a token for superuser in order to create multiple users via API:

bf.token_request()

Next, you should edit 'bot.config' file, you can do it manually, or use a command:

bf.bot_configuration()

In order to finish first task of singing up users and making posts, you can use following function:

bf.first_bot_activity()

After it has been done, you can initialize second task of liking algo like so:

bf.second_bot_activity()

Here all main requests are finished. Additionally, you can test out Clearbit implementation with following:

bf.clearbit()

And Emailhunter by running its test function:

bf.emailhunter()

API keys hardcoded inline

• Fixed, now it uses environment variables to read API keys.

Mixed tabs and spaces across files

• Fixed, standardized everything to use tabs.

Shipped SQLite file with applied migrations

• Fixed. Previously, I shipped it like this to make setup more convenient, but after further reading, now I understand why is it bad practice.

CamelCase top-level function names

• Fixed, didn't pay enough attention to it, updated to lower_case_with_underscores as advised in PEP-8

Post and like counts are prone to RC

• Skipped, I am not quite sure what did you mean by RC abbreviation.

Too much print code. It’s not a production code, but it’s not a helloworld personal project either

• Fixed, As someone who's been mainly working on personal projects, I do agree I use print code more often than I should. Definitely should have addressed that before sending out.

Batch scripts

• Fixed, working on personal projects and scripts did accustom me some to bad practices. Actively working on overcoming it.

Way overkilled batch scripts

• New update, fresh with 100% less batch scripts!
