The Python Client for PolyAPI, the IPaaS by Developers for Developers

Project description

PolyAPI Python Library

The PolyAPI Python Library lets you use and define PolyAPI functions using Python.

PolyAPI Quickstart

1. Install Libraries

First install the client.

We recommend the use of venv so you can have multiple projects each with separate credentials:

python -m venv myvenv
source myvenv/bin/activate
pip install polyapi-python

Replace myvenv with whatever you'd like your venv to be named!

For more on Python virtual environments, we recommend this venv primer.

However, if you only need to use polyapi with a single project, you can do a basic install:

pip install polyapi-python

2. Generate Your Functions

Now you can run the following to generate your library

python -m polyapi generate

You will be prompted to enter the Poly server url you use and your Poly API key.

You can also provide the key and url as environment variables (useful for deployment):

POLY_API_KEY='your_key'
POLY_API_BASE_URL='your_server'  # e.g. na1.polyapi.io

3. Test

That's it! Now open up a test file and you can run some code like so:

from polyapi import poly
print(poly.polyapi.function.api.list(my_server, my_api_key))

Add New Server Functions

To add a new server function, please follow the quickstart. Then you can add a server function like so:

python -m polyapi --context mycontext --description mydesc --server function add <function_name> foo.py

The code in foo.py should contain a single defined function named the same as your <function_name> variable.

So for example, if you want to add a function named bar, your file foo.py would look like this:

def bar():
    return "Hello World"

Complex Types In Server Functions

You can define arbitrarily complex argument and return types using TypedDicts.

NOTE: you must use TypedDict from typing_extensions, not from the base typing module.

from typing_extensions import TypedDict


class Foobar(TypedDict):
    count: int


def bar(n: int) -> Foobar:
    return Foobar(count=n)

Pypi

This library is hosted on Pypi. You can find the latest version on the pypi polyapi-python project.

Upgrade

To upgrade your library to the latest version, pass the upgrade flag.

pip install polyapi-python --upgrade

Pre-Release

To upgrade your library to the latest dev version, pass the --pre flag.

pip install polyapi-python --pre --upgrade

Change Your API Key

If you need to change your API key or what server you are pointing to, you can run:

python -m polyapi setup

Unit Tests

To run this library's unit tests, please clone the repo then run:

python -m unittest discover

Linting

The flake8 config is at the root of this repo at .flake8.

When hacking on this library, please enable flake8 and add this line to your flake8 args (e.g., in your VSCode Workspace Settings):

--config=.flake8

Mypy Type Improvements

This script is handy for checking for any mypy types:

./check_mypy.sh

Please ignore [name-defined] errors for now. This is a known bug we are working to fix!
