Thanks Rohit for the reply.
Python script -
I just found it on internet.
request_type = 'GET'
params = {
'command':'updateUser',
'id':user_id
}
if email: params['email'] = email
if first_name: params['firstname'] = first_name
if last_name: params['lastname'] = last_name
if password: params['password'] = password
if timezone: params['timezone'] = timezone
if user_name: params['username'] = user_name
params['response'] = 'json'
params['apiKey'] = self.api_key
# build the query string
query_params = map(lambda (k,v):k+"="+urllib.quote(str(v)),
params.items())
query_string = "&".join(query_params)
# build signature
query_params.sort()
signature_string = "&".join(query_params).lower()
signature =
urllib.quote(base64.b64encode(hmac.new(self.secret_key, signature_string,
hashlib.sha1).digest()))
# final query string...
url =
self.protocol+"://"+self.host+self.uri+"?"+query_string+"&signature="+signature
print url
output = None
try:
output = json.loads(urllib2.urlopen(url).read())
Thanks
Meghna.
