How to find/delete/invalidate DiscountCode by code?

I want to delete one DiscountCode from the list of assigned to some PriceRule. How should I do that having only DiscountCode without ID? I don’t want to retrieve a list of all discounts (I have thousands of them), just delete or invalidate one.

Currently, the only option I see - is to find somehow ID of required DiscountCode and destroy() it.

But the question is still how to find it? In tests, I see only hardcoded ID.

I actually don’t think this is going to work without patching urllib, which should probably be done in pyactiveresource.

urllib will follow 303 redirects without using a custom handler, which is not the ideal behaviour here.

In the meantime, you can use the requests library to do something like this:

import requests
import re

lookup_code = 'SUMMER1'
lookup_url = "%s/discount_codes/lookup.json?code=%s" % (shopify.ShopifyResource.site, lookup_code)

r = requests.get(lookup_url, headers=shopify.ShopifyResource.headers, allow_redirects=False)

path = re.sub(r'https://([a-zA-Z]+?-?)*.myshopify.com', '', r.headers['Location']) + '.' + shopify.ShopifyResource.format.extension
code = shopify.DiscountCode.find(from_=path)

Thanks @jamiemtdwyer I just added shopify.DiscountCode._build_collection(code, prefix_options='') to build the respone dictionary back into the library object. Also, this issue is quite old now. Is there any better approach to achieve this?
