## Installing

Using pip:

```
pip install pyzeef
```

or cloning installing the current build
```
git clone https://github.com/ellisonleao/pyzeef.git
cd pyzeef
python setup.py develop
```
I strong recommend using a virtualenv before installing any of the methods above.

## [Basic Usage](#basic-usage)

Before get things started, you will need a ZEEF Token in order to use the lib.
To generate a new token, please [go here](https://zeef.com/dashboard/user/profile/tokens)

After generating your token:

from pyzeef import Zeef

```python
z = Zeef('YOUR-TOKEN')
print z.pages
# Output
[
<Page ID>,
...
]
```

### [The ZEEF Class](#zeef-class)

## `Zeef(token, persist_pages=True, get_scratchpad=True)`

When instantiating a new Zeef class all of your pages and the scratchpad will also be persisted by default. If you don't want to fetch the pages and/or the scratchpad you can pass `persist_pages` and `get_scratchpad` kwargs when creating the new class

#### Methods

#### `authorize(token=None, persist_pages=True)`

That method will be called on the object creation if `persist_pages=True`. It will authorize and persist your token through all the API requests and also fetch/persist your ZEEF pages. You can also pass a new
token when instantiating the class. That token will be persisted to be used on the future requests.

#### `get_page(page_id=int, alias=string, username=string)`

You can fetch a page by passing the `page_id` or passing both `alias` and `username`
This wil return a [Page](#page) class.


### `get_block(block_id)`

This will return a [Block](#block) class object, if any block is found with the `block_id` provided.

### `get_link(link_id)`

This will return a [Link](#link) class objects, if any link is found with the `link_id` provided.

### `create_page(name, language='en', type=['SUBJECT', 'COMPANY', 'PERSONAL'])`

### [The Page Class](#page)

When fetching the pages, there is a helper class which can help you make Zeef Page CRUD operations.
