Create Announcement

Python example of creating a new system announcement:

 import urllib2, json, base64

 uri = "/api/core/v3/announcements"
 base_url = "http://jive.mycompany.com"
 url = base_url + uri

 user = "admin"
 password = "admins_password"

 auth = "Basic " + base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (user, password)).replace("\n","");

 headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": auth }

 data = json.dumps(
        { "subject": "An important announcement created using Python!",
          "content": {
             "type": "text/html",
             "text": "Meeting now in room 123!"
             }
         })

 req = urllib2.Request(url, data, headers )

 try:
     json = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()
 except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
     print e.code
     print e.read()

 print json
