AukPilot is an interface to Klout (http://klout.com) API. "Auk Pilot" is an anagram of "Klout API." So is "Oak Tulip," but "Auk Pilot" is more fun.

Use of AukPilot requires a Klout API key. You can register and get a key at http://developer.klout.com/member/register

Examples:

Initialize the connection

import aukpilot ap = aukpilot.AukPilot('[your API key]')

Get a user's Klout score

ap.scores('rdmond') [(u'rdmond', 43.380000000000003)]

Get multiple user's scores by passing a list or tuple of user names

ap.scores(('rdmond', 'Klout')) [(u'rdmond', 43.380000000000003), (u'klout', 73.310000000000002)]

ap.scores(['rdmond', 'Klout', 'Guggenheim']) [(u'rdmond', 43.380000000000003), (u'klout', 73.310000000000002), (u'guggenheim', 68.790000000000006)]

Or get User objects

ap.users('rdmond') [<aukpilot.User object at 0x1006bcb90>]

ap.users(['rdmond', 'Klout', 'Guggenheim']) [<aukpilot.User object at 0x1006bce10>, <aukpilot.User object at 0x1006bcd50>, <aukpilot.User object at 0x1006bcf50>]

Retrieve individual users

user = aukpilot.User('Guggenheim', '[your API key]')

user.name() u'guggenheim'

user.id() u'12804422'

user.klout() 68.790000000000006

user.true_reach() 126031

user.amplification() 50.740000000000002

user.network() 74.209999999999994

user.classification() u'Thought Leader'

user.delta_1day() 0.29999999999999999

user.delta_5day() 0.20000000000000001

user.topics() [u'Art', u'Museums', u'Design']

user.influencers() [u'5easypieces', u'MuseumModernArt', u'museumnerd', u'kim', u'mashable']

user = aukpilot.User('Klout', '[your API key]') user.influencees() [u'webdice', u'richandcreamy', u'ZelkovaVC', u'ashleyjacober', u'fanpagelist']
