couchsurfing-python

UPDATE: this package is not actively mainated anymore

I also wrote a guide (https://www.toptal.com/back-end/reverse-engineering-the-private-api-hacking-your-couch) about the techniques I used to reverse engineer this and other APIs.

Couchsurfing.org Python API

Requirements

Initialize API with couchsurfing.org username and password::

from couchsurfing import Api api = Api(login, password)
Get your user profile::

api.get_profile()
Get the profile of someone else::
```
  api.get_profile_by_id(userID)
```
Get the friends of someone else::
```
  api.get_friendlist(userID)
```
Get the references of someone else::
```
  api.get_references(userID, type)
```

Get events in some place::

  api.get_events("48.1078396751677,11.5792098447259")
  # you can get lat/lng from google geocoding api

Get hosts in some place::

  api.get_hosts((place_name="Madrid, Spain",
                 filters={'sleepingArrangements':'privateRoom'})

Get visitors in some place::

  api.get_visits((place_name="Madrid, Spain",
                 filters={'isVerified': 1})
