Create A Shot

Building the data and calling `create()`

To create a Shot, you need to provide the following values:

project is a link to the Project the Shot belongs to. It should be a dictionary like {"type": "Project", "id": 123} where id is the id of the Project.
code (this is the field that stores the name Shot)
optionally any other info you want to provide

Example:

data = {
    'project': {"type":"Project","id": 4},
    'code': '100_010',
    'description': 'Open on a beautiful field with fuzzy bunnies',
    'sg_status_list': 'ip'
}
result = sg.create('Shot', data)

This will create a new Shot named “100_010” in the Project “Gunslinger” (which has an id of 4).

data is a list of key/value pairs where the key is the column name to update and the value is the the value to set.
sg is the Flow Production Tracking API instance you created in Create a Flow Production Tracking API instance.
create() is the shotgun_api3.Shotgun.create() API method we are calling. We pass in the entity type we’re searching for and the data we’re setting.

Result

The variable result now contains a dictionary hash with the Shot information you created.:

{
    'code': '100_010',
    'description': 'Open on a beautiful field with fuzzy bunnies',
    'id': 40435,
    'project': {'id': 4, 'name': 'Demo Project', 'type': 'Project'},
    'sg_status_list': 'ip',
    'type': 'Shot'
}

In addition, Flow Production Tracking has returned the id that it has assigned to the Shot, as well as a type value. type is provided for convenience simply to help you identify what entity type this dictionary represents. It does not correspond to any field in Flow Production Tracking.

Flow Production Tracking will always return the id and type keys in the dictionary when there are results representing an entity.

    data = {

        'code': '100_010',
        'description': 'Open on a beautiful field with fuzzy bunnies',

    }
    result = sg.create('Shot', data)
    pprint(result)
    print("The id of the {} is {}.".format(result['type'], result['id']))

And here is the output:

{'code': '100_010',
 'description': 'Open on a beautiful field with fuzzy bunnies',
 'id': 40435,
 'project': {'id': 4, 'name': 'Demo Project', 'type': 'Project'},
 'sg_status_list': 'ip',
 'type': 'Shot'}
The id of the Shot is 40435.
