Open in Visual Studio Code

Installation

Install from Python package repository:

python -m pip install combocurve-api-helper

or install directly from GitHub:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/petbox-dev/combocurve-api-helper.git@main

Setup

Two files are required in ~/.combocurve:

• cc-api.config.json
• combocurve.json

These are given by ComboCurve when configuring API access. Example files are provided in ./config-examples/ to demonstrate the expected file structures.

cc-api.config.example.json:

{
    "apikey": "<apikey>"
}

combocurve.example.json:

{
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": "beta-combocurve",
  "private_key_id": "<private_key_id>",
  "private_key": "<private_key>",
  "client_email": "<client_email>",
  "client_id": "<client_id>",
  "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
  "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
  "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
  "client_x509_cert_url": "<client_x509_cert_url>"
}

Contributing

1. Fork the repository:

   • On this GitHub page, click "Fork" to create a copy under your own account.

2. CLone the forked repo onto on your machine:

   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/combocurve-api-helper.git
   cd combocurve-api-helper

3. Set the upstream remote:

   • This allows you to fetch updates from the original repository:

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/petbox-dev/combocurve-api-helper.git

4. Create a new branch:

   • Always create a new branch for your feature or fix
   • A common convention is to name the branch your GitHub username, a forward slash, and a brief description of the work you're doing

   git checkout -b <your-username>/<your-branch-name>

5. Make your changes, and commit:

   • After adding your files, or making edits, ensure typechecking succeeds, then commit your changes

   mypy --package combocurve_api_helper
   
   git add .
   git commit -m "<description of changes>"

6. Push to your fork:

   git push origin <the-name-of-your-branch>

7. Create a pull request:

   • Go to "Pull Requests" tab in this repo, and click "compare across forks"
   • Choose your branch as the source and keep the default main branch as the target
     • ie: petbox-dev/combocurve-api-helper (main) <- your-username/combocurve-api-helper (your-branch-name)
   • Fill the title and description with a summary of the proposed changes
   • Request a review from @dsfulf

Docstring examples

The Example response: / Example data: blocks in method docstrings are generated from the ComboCurve Postman collection — do not edit them by hand. The collection's <type> placeholders (<string>, <number>, <boolean>, …) are filled with realistic, deterministic spoof values (numbers as numbers, bools as bools, ISO dates, ObjectId-like ids), so a docstring shows the response's key/value shape without a live API call. Refresh after the API changes:

python scripts/generate_docstrings.py          # rewrite in place
python scripts/generate_docstrings.py --check   # verify; exit 1 if stale, 2 if unreachable

Each method is matched to its operation by the docs.api.combocurve.com/api/<slug> link in its docstring, where <slug> is the collection item name. (The OpenAPI spec at storage.googleapis.com/beta-combocurve-api-docs/openapi-spec.yaml has real example values, but is an older/less-complete snapshot — missing ~52 operations as of 2026-07 — so the collection is used instead.)
