Session
¶
Manage the LendingClub user session and all raw HTTP calls to the LendingClub site.
This will almost always be accessed through the API calls in
lendingclub.LendingClub
instead of directly.

class
lendingclub.session.
Session
(email=None, password=None, logger=None)¶ Attributes
email last_response Methods
-
authenticate
(email=None, password=None)¶ Authenticate with LendingClub and preserve the user session for future requests. This will raise an exception if the login appears to have failed, otherwise it returns True.
Since Lending Club doesn’t seem to have a login API, the code has to try to decide if the login worked or not by looking at the URL redirect and parsing the returned HTML for errors.
Parameters: email : string
The email of a user on Lending Club
password : string
The user’s password, for authentication.
Returns: boolean
True on success or throws an exception on failure.
Raises: session.AuthenticationError
If authentication failed
