Sample script with API calls

This section provides a sample script that uses API calls.

A script needs:

To import the utility file described in Remote access basics. It defines the connectLogin and connectLogout proxy objects.
A proxy defining the specific server, user, and password for the connectLogin proxy.
The Connect API calls you want defined as a result you can print. For example, result = proxy.Document.get(“1”).

A script can include statements that display or process the results and handle any errors or exceptions that might occur. For example:

except xmlrpcFault, err:
    print err.faultString + " (" + str(err.faultCode) + ")" 
finally:
    connectLogout(myProxy, "aiw")

The script shown below :

Imports a utility file.
