webfinger
=========
A simple Python client implementation of `WebFinger RFC 7033 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7033>`_.
WebFinger is a discovery protocol that allows you to find information about people or things in a standardized way. See the `spec <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7033>`_ or `webfinger.net <http://webfinger.net>`_ for more information.
Usage
=====
-----
Example::
from webfinger import finger
>>> from webfinger import finger
>>> wf = finger('acct:eric@konklone.com')
>>> wf.subject
acct:eric@konklone.com
>>> wf.avatar
https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ac3399caecce27cb19d381f61124539e.jpg?s=400
>>> wf.profile
https://konklone.com
>>> wf.properties.get('http://schema.org/name')
Eric Mill
wf = finger('user@host.com')
print wf.profile
print wf.hcard
The following relation types are supported:
WebFinger Response
------------------
The WebFinger response object provides handy properties for easy access and the raw JRD response. Read the `spec for specifics of the JRD response <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7033#section-4.4>`_.
----------
Properties
----------
subject
The URI of the thing that the response JRD describes.
aliases
A list of additional URIs that identify the subject.
properties
A dict of URIs and values that provides information about the subject.
links
A list of dicts that define external resources for the subject.
jrd
A dict of the raw JRD response.
-------
Methods
-------
rel(relation, attr='href')
A convenience method that provides basic access to links. The *relation* parameter is a URI for the desired link. The *attr* parameter is the key of the returned value of the link that matches *relation*. Returns a string if *relation* and *attr* exist, otherwise *None*.
Example::
>>> wf.rel('http://webfinger.net/rel/avatar')
https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ac3399caecce27cb19d381f61124539e.jpg?s=400
-------------------
Relation Properties
-------------------
The following common link relation types are supported as properties of the response object:
* activity_streams: http://activitystrea.ms/spec/1.0
* avatar: http://webfinger.net/rel/avatar

* opensocial: http://ns.opensocial.org/2008/opensocial/activitystreams
* portable_contacts: http://portablecontacts.net/spec/1.0
* profile: http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page
* webfist: http://webfist.org/spec/rel
* xfn: http://gmpg.org/xfn/11
Other relation types can be accessed directly from the XRD document.::
Example::
>>> wf.avatar

Unofficial Endpoints
--------------------
While Facebook and Twitter do not officially support WebFinger, the `webfinger-unofficial project <https://github.com/snarfed/webfinger-unofficial>`_ provides a proxy for basic subject information. By default, python-webfinger will attempt to use unoffical the endpoints for facebook.com and twitter.com resource domains. This behavior can be disabled by passing *True* to the *official* parameter::
>>> wf = finger('acct:konklone@twitter.com', official=True)
print wf.find_link('http://example.com/example/spec', attr='href')
