Session Goal

The goal of this session was to develop and enhance a Python wrapper for the Motion API, focusing on task management, project creation, and error handling.

Key Activities

  • Implemented a Python wrapper for the Motion API, including class definitions and utility functions for task management, project creation, and bulk updates.
  • Enhanced the MotionHandler class with methods for creating projects and tasks, associating tasks with projects, and updating tasks using Motion’s REST API.
  • Refined the create_project function, adding a main execution block for testing and verification.
  • Integrated API key loading from a YAML configuration file into the Python script, including error handling using the PyYAML library.
  • Resolved YAML parsing errors by addressing formatting issues and improving debugging and testing processes.
  • Fixed a 400 Bad Request error in the create_project function by ensuring all required fields were included and revising the function implementation.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed a robust Python wrapper for the Motion API with enhanced functionality for project and task management.
  • Improved error handling and configuration management through YAML integration.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the create_project function and the overall Motion API wrapper to ensure reliability and performance.
