The example client programs provided below show a request for a user's
accounts and account balances. In each case, we've tried to develop the
example requiring as few library installs as possible (none, where we could).
These examples should mostly run with default installations of their
languages, except where noted.
- Ruby
- An example Ruby API client is available here. For Ruby developers, we suggest
using the rest-open-uri library for accessing the
Wesabe API.
- Python
- An example Python API client is available here. Python supports SSL connections
in the standard library, but the SSL client does not verify the
certificate of the server before downloading. This means that using the Python
standard library for SSL connections (including to the Wesabe API) is
insecure. We strongly advise all Python API developers to install either M2Crypto or PyCurl, and use them
for making all SSL connections. (The example code has no dependencies other
than Python 2.4 or later.)
- Perl
- An example Perl API client is available here. We recommend installing
Crypto::SSLeay with LWP, and using those libraries for making SSL connections
from Perl. (The Perl example client also requires Term::ReadKey, and
XML::Simple.)
- Java
- An example Java API client is available here. Java 1.4 and later ship JSSE
as part of the standard Java Runtime, so Java has better SSL support than the
other examples. We recommend using Jakarta's HttpClient as an HTTP library, as it
is simpler and easier to use than the java.net.* classes.
