Hi @RedNectar
I have written a quick script .. IF you fancy giving it a go .. should run in Python 2.7 and 3.
1. Create a new room or use an existing room in the Webex Team app
2. Get room id where we want to add new users.
- Add inspect@webex.io bot to your room to ask for the roomId. example: @inspector roomId
- OR Login to - https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/rooms/list-rooms - to get the roomId
In the script below - replace room_id , bearer token and filename to match yours.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Author - omz - 13/04/2020
# below packages can be installed from pip
# pip install requests json
import requests
import json
# Define Method to post data to API
def person_post(url, data):
response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data),
headers={"Accept" : "application/json",
"Content-Type":"application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer "+bearer})
return response
################### REPLACE ##############################
#each user on a new line. no last blank line.
filepath = "people_emails.txt"
# room to add new users
room_id = "COPY/PASTE ROOM ID HERE"
# add webex api admin token
bearer = "COPY/PASTE API TOKEN HERE"
##########################################################
# empty list to hold the email addresses
emails = []
# open file to read the email addresses
with open(filepath, 'r') as read_emails:
emails = read_emails.readlines()
# uncomment below line to check emails addresses are read from the text file
#print emails
# url to add new user to the room
add_membership_url = 'https://api.ciscospark.com/v1/memberships'
print
for email in emails: # every email address in the lines list
try:
param = {
"roomId": room_id,
"personEmail": email,
}
# strip off any carriage return or new line characters from email
person_email = email.strip('\r\n')
# call the person_post method with 2 parameters, add_membership_url and payload
result = person_post(add_membership_url,param)
#print(result.status_code)
if result.status_code == 409:
print("{} - is already in the room.".format(person_email))
elif result.status_code == 200:
print("{} - is successfully added to the room.".format(person_email))
else:
result.json()
print(result.status_code, result['message'])
# uncomment below to see what error message is sent from the api
#print(result.json())
except Exception as e:
print(e)
print
The script uses a text file named - people_emails.txt - to read emails. The text file looks like this -
pybot1@sparkbot.io
gifbot@webex.bot
inspect@webex.bot
