This document discusses setting up an app using the FancyHands SDK in Python to prank call friends. It includes code samples for installing the FancyHands SDK, defining functions to create tasks on FancyHands to call a number and get a Reddit title or call with a prank and get a response, and using webhooks to log response data from FancyHands. Links are provided to slides and code for a workshop on building this prank calling app with FancyHands.

Install FancyHands SDK - Python
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install fancyhands
git clone https://github.com/fancyhands/fancyhands-python.git
dir fancyhands-python
python setup.py install

secret = '<CONSUMER SECRET>'
client = FancyhandsClient(api_key, secret)
""" Client is our interface to FancyHands Once we have initialized it, it will remember who we are thought the file """

Get the top story off of or Reddit and have phone_number be called telling them the title

:type phone_number: str

title = "Let me know what's new on the internet!"
description = "Go to Reddit, and find the title of the top story. Call me at %s and tell me that title."
# %s will be replaced with a phone number when we use the variable in a function call
bid = 1.50
expiration_date = datetime.now() + timedelta(1)
client.standard_create(title, description % phone_number, bid, expiration_date)
return True

Let’s Try It!

8. Response.py
@tompaulus
def call_and_react(phone_number):
"""
Call phone_number and prank them, then get their reaction
:param phone_number: The Phone Number of who should be called
:type phone_number: str
"""
title = "Prank call my friend!"
description = "Call %s. Ask if their refrigerator is running."
"When they say 'yes', tell them 'Well you better go catch it!'."
bid = 3.00
expiration_date = datetime.now() + timedelta(1)
custom_fields = [
{
'label': 'Response',
'type': 'textarea',
'description': 'Their response to the prank.',
'order': 1,
"required": True
}
]
client.custom_create(title, description % phone_number, bid, expiration_date, custom_fields)
return True
call_and_react("(555) 555-555")

9. WebHooks are an HTTP POST callback request sent to URL of a user's choice in
response to some event occurring. They offer simple and effective server to server
@tompaulus
communication without long running connections.
RequestBin is a service which receives all incoming requests
and logs them for your later review. We’ll use it to quickly see
what sort of data Fancy Hands gives our app.
