Write API for frappe apps
Prompt Description
To write an API for Frappe apps, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a new file for your API. You can name it `api.py` or any other name you prefer.
Step 2: Import the necessary modules and libraries:
```python
from frappe import _
from frappe.model.document import Document
from frappe.utils import cint, flt, getdate, cstr, add_days, get_datetime, get_link_to_form
from frappe import throw, msgprint, _
from frappe.model import default_fields, optional_fields
from frappe.utils import flt, cint, nowdate, nowtime, get_datetime, comma_or, getdate, get_formatted_email, now, get_datetime_str, now_datetime,now_datetime_str, format_datetime
from frappe import _
from frappe.utils import cint, flt, getdate, cstr, add_days, get_datetime, get_link_to_form
```
Step 3: Define your API endpoints as functions. For example, let's create an API endpoint to get a list of all customers:
```python
@frappe.whitelist()
def get_customers():
customers = frappe.get_all("Customer", fields=["name", "customer_name", "email"])
return customers
```
Step 4: Register your API endpoints in the `hooks.py` file. Open the `hooks.py` file and add the following code:
```python
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from frappe import _
def get_data():
return [
{
"label": _("API"),
"items": [
{
"type": "doctype",
"name": "Customer",
"description": _("Customer"),
"onboard": 1,
},
{
"type": "page",
"name": "api",
"label": _("API"),
"description": _("API"),
"onboard": 1,
},
],
},
]
```
Step 5: Restart your Frappe server.
Now you can access your API endpoint by sending a GET request to `/api/method/{app_name}.{module_name}.api.{function_name}`. For example, if your app name is "myapp" and your module name is "api", and your function name is "get_customers", you can access the API endpoint by sending a GET request to `/api/method/myapp.api.get_customers`.
Make sure to replace "myapp" with your actual app name and "api" with your actual module name.
That's it! You have created an API for Frappe apps using the Frappe framework. You can add more API endpoints and define more functionality as per your requirements.
