HipChat Notifications

This is a very simple library for sending user and room notifications to HipChat via their v2 API.

It contains a couple of generic functions for sending messages to rooms and users within HipChat.

>>> hipchat.notify_room('Customer Service', 'This is a message')
>>> hipchat.notify_user('hugo', 'Hello, Hugo')

It includes some colour-specific helpers for room-only notifications:

>>> hipchat.green('Customer service', 'This is a green message')

The functions support the message_format values:

html - Message is rendered as HTML and receives no special treatment. Must be valid HTML and entities must be escaped (e.g.: ‘&’ instead of ‘&’). May contain basic tags: a, b, i, strong, em, br, img, pre, code, lists, tables.

text - Message is treated just like a message sent by a user. Can include @mentions, emoticons, pastes, and auto-detected URLs (Twitter, YouTube, images, etc).

>>> hipchat.green('Customer service', 'Hello @fred', message_format='text')

The color, notify and from parameters are also supported (from is passed as a kwarg called label):

>>> notify_room(
...     'customer service',
...     'Hey there @Tony',
...     color='red',
...     label='baz',
...     notify=True,
...     message_format='text'
... )

Settings

The following settings are read from the environment using os.getenv

  • HIPCHAT_API_TOKEN

A valid API access token. See the API docs for details on how to generate a token. (Hint: the easiest way is to use a “Personal access token” generated through the site.)

If there is no token set in the environment the notifications will be logged using the ‘hipchat’ logger, with a DEBUG level.

Installation

The library is available on PyPI as ‘hipchat_notifications’.

Tests

The tests can be run using tox:

$ tox
