from controlshift.authenticated import AuthenticatedControlShift

csl = AuthenticatedControlShift(client_id='b53298.....',
                                client_secret='f897ea....',
                                base_url='https://demo.controlshiftlabs.com')

member_data = csl.member_lookup('member@example.com')
petition_data = csl.get('/api/v1/petitions/no-taxes-on-tea')

settings mode (useful for e.g. Django)

class settings:
    CONTROLSHIFT_CLIENT_ID = 'b53298.....'
    CONTROLSHIFT_CLIENT_SECRET = 'f897ea....'
    CONTROLSHIFT_BASEURL = 'https://demo.controlshiftlabs.com'
   
csl = AuthenticatedControlShift(settings=settings)

csl.member_lookup('member@example.com')

Ratelimits

Ratelimits are real, and you should think about how to manage/save tokens in your applications.
