Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with "enhancement" and "help wanted" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation

Probe.ly API Examples could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official Probe.ly API Examples docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/probely/API_Scripts/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up API_Scripts for local development.

  1. Fork the API_Scripts repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/API_Scripts.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv API_Scripts
$ cd API_Scripts/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8:

    $ flake8 API_Scripts

    To get flake8, just pip install it into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
