For those interested i have worked it out by looking at the source of
this app
http://wave-samples-gallery.appspot.com/about_app?app_id=107009
You need something like:
import logging
from waveapi import events
from waveapi import robot
from waveapi import blip
from waveapi import element
from waveapi import ops
from waveapi import util
from waveapi import wavelet
from waveapi import appengine_robot_runner
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app
global myRobot
#other robot event methods
class AHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
#you can now do things here by calling myRobot.someMethod()
if __name__ == '__main__':
myRobot = robot.Robot('....',
image_url='http://.....appspot.com/assets/icon.png',
profile_url='http://.....appspot.com/')
myRobot.setup_oauth("....", ".....", server_rpc_base='http://
gmodules.com/api/rpc')
myRobot.register_handler(events.WaveletSelfAdded, OnRobotAdded)
#Note this method is note included in my code snippet
appengine_robot_runner.run(myRobot, True, extra_handlers=[('/
about',AHandler),])
And then in app.yaml, you define a url /about.* that runs the robot
python script.
You can then run http://....appspot.com/about whenever you like (with
a cron job, manually, from some other program, whatever) it will
interact with waves as you program it to in the def get(self): method.
Note, you will probably want to save wave and wavelet id's in a
database so you can access specific waves using this url, otherwise
you will be limited to making a new wave, and going from there.
It would have been good if there was some real documentation on how to
do this though. I find it tiresome having to go hunting to find out
something that could have been explained in half a page somewhere! :P
