Usage

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession

from aionotion import async_get_client_with_credentials


async def main() -> None:
    """Create the aiohttp session and run the example."""
    client = await async_get_client_with_credentials(
        "<EMAIL>", "<PASSWORD>", session=session
    )

    # Get the UUID of the authenticated user:
    client.user_uuid
    # >>> xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

    # Get the current refresh token of the authenticated user (BE CAREFUL):
    client.refresh_token
    # >>> abcde12345

    # Get all "households" associated with the account:
    systems = await client.system.async_all()
    # >>> [System(...), System(...), ...]

    # Get a system by ID:
    system = await client.system.async_get(12345)
    # >>> System(...)

    # Get all bridges associated with the account:
    bridges = await client.bridge.async_all()
    # >>> [Bridge(...), Bridge(...), ...]

    # Get a bridge by ID:
    bridge = await client.bridge.async_get(12345)
    # >>> Bridge(...)

    # Get all sensors:
    sensors = await client.sensor.async_all()
    # >>> [Sensor(...), Sensor(...), ...]

    # Get a sensor by ID:
    sensor = await client.sensor.async_get(12345)
    # >>> Sensor(...)

    # Get "listeners" (conditions that a sensor is monitoring) for all sensors:
    listeners = await client.listener.async_all()
    # >>> [Listener(...), Listener(...), ...]

    # Get all listener definitions supported by Notion:
    definitions = await client.listener.async_definitions()
    # >>> [ListenerDefinition(...), ListenerDefinition(...), ...]

    # Get user info:
    user_info = await client.user.async_info()
    # >>> User(...)

    # Get user preferences:
    user_preferences = await client.user.async_preferences()
    # >>> UserPreferences(...)


asyncio.run(main())

Using a Refresh Token

During the normal course of operations, aionotion will automatically maintain a refresh token and use it when needed. At times, you may wish to manage that token yourself (so that you can use it later)–aionotion provides a few useful capabilities there.

Refresh Token Callbacks

aionotion allows implementers to defining callbacks that get called when a new refresh token is generated. These callbacks accept a single string parameter (the refresh token):

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession

from aionotion import async_get_client_with_credentials


async def main() -> None:
    """Create the aiohttp session and run the example."""
    client = await async_get_client_with_credentials(
        "<EMAIL>", "<PASSWORD>", session=session
    )

    def do_somethng_with_refresh_token(refresh_token: str) -> None:
        """Do something interesting."""
        pass

    # Attach the callback to the client:
    remove_callback = client.add_refresh_token_callback(do_somethng_with_refresh_token)

    # Later, if you want to remove the callback:
    remove_callback()


asyncio.run(main())

Getting a Client via a Refresh Token

All of previous examples retrieved an authenticated client with async_get_client_with_credentials. However, implementers may also create an authenticated client by providing a previously retrieved user UUID and refresh token:

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession

from aionotion import async_get_client_with_refresh_token


async def main() -> None:
    """Create the aiohttp session and run the example."""
    async with ClientSession() as session:
        # Create a Notion API client:
        client = await async_get_client_with_refresh_token(
            "<USER UUID>", "<REFRESH TOKEN>", session=session
        )

        # Get to work...


asyncio.run(main())

Connection Pooling

By default, the library creates a new connection to Notion with each coroutine. If you are calling a large number of coroutines (or merely want to squeeze out every second of runtime savings possible), an aiohttp ClientSession can be used for connection pooling:

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession

from aionotion import async_get_client_with_credentials


async def main() -> None:
    """Create the aiohttp session and run the example."""
    async with ClientSession() as session:
        # Create a Notion API client:
        client = await async_get_client_with_credentials(
            "<EMAIL>", "<PASSWORD>", session=session
        )

        # Get to work...


asyncio.run(main())
