Build Status Code Climate Prod Ready

This is a Python API Wrapper for the Date Calculator API


Installation

Using pip:

pip install apiverve-datecalculator

Using pip3:

pip3 install apiverve-datecalculator

Configuration

Before using the datecalculator API client, you have to setup your account and obtain your API Key. You can get it by signing up at https://apiverve.com


Quick Start

Here's a simple example to get you started quickly:

from apiverve_datecalculator.apiClient import DatecalculatorAPIClient

# Initialize the client with your APIVerve API key
api = DatecalculatorAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")

query = {
    "start": "2022-01-01",
    "end": "2024-08-31"
}

try:
    # Make the API call
    result = api.execute(query)

    # Print the result
    print(result)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

Usage

The Date Calculator API documentation is found here: https://docs.apiverve.com/ref/datecalculator. You can find parameters, example responses, and status codes documented here.

Setup

# Import the client module
from apiverve_datecalculator.apiClient import DatecalculatorAPIClient

# Initialize the client with your APIVerve API key
api = DatecalculatorAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")

Perform Request

Using the API client, you can perform requests to the API.

Define Query
query = {
    "start": "2022-01-01",
    "end": "2024-08-31"
}
Simple Request
# Make a request to the API
result = api.execute(query)

# Print the result
print(result)
Example Response
{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "minutes": 524160,
    "hours": 8736,
    "days": 364,
    "weeks": 52,
    "months": 11,
    "years": 0,
    "start": {
      "date": "2022-01-01",
      "day": "Saturday",
      "month": "January",
      "year": "2022",
      "words": "Saturday, January 1st 2022"
    },
    "end": {
      "date": "2022-12-31",
      "day": "Saturday",
      "month": "December",
      "year": "2022",
      "words": "Saturday, December 31st 2022"
    }
  }
}

Error Handling

The API client provides comprehensive error handling through the DatecalculatorAPIClientError exception. Here are some examples:

Basic Error Handling

from apiverve_datecalculator.apiClient import DatecalculatorAPIClient, DatecalculatorAPIClientError

api = DatecalculatorAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")

query = {
    "start": "2022-01-01",
    "end": "2024-08-31"
}

try:
    result = api.execute(query)
    print("Success!")
    print(result)
except DatecalculatorAPIClientError as e:
    print(f"API Error: {e.message}")
    if e.status_code:
        print(f"Status Code: {e.status_code}")
    if e.response:
        print(f"Response: {e.response}")

Handling Specific Error Types

from apiverve_datecalculator.apiClient import DatecalculatorAPIClient, DatecalculatorAPIClientError

api = DatecalculatorAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")

query = {
    "start": "2022-01-01",
    "end": "2024-08-31"
}

try:
    result = api.execute(query)

    # Check for successful response
    if result.get('status') == 'success':
        print("Request successful!")
        print(result.get('data'))
    else:
        print(f"API returned an error: {result.get('error')}")

except DatecalculatorAPIClientError as e:
    # Handle API client errors
    if e.status_code == 401:
        print("Unauthorized: Invalid API key")
    elif e.status_code == 429:
        print("Rate limit exceeded")
    elif e.status_code >= 500:
        print("Server error - please try again later")
    else:
        print(f"API error: {e.message}")
except Exception as e:
    # Handle unexpected errors
    print(f"Unexpected error: {str(e)}")

Using Context Manager (Recommended)

The client supports the context manager protocol for automatic resource cleanup:

from apiverve_datecalculator.apiClient import DatecalculatorAPIClient, DatecalculatorAPIClientError

query = {
    "start": "2022-01-01",
    "end": "2024-08-31"
}

# Using context manager ensures proper cleanup
with DatecalculatorAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]") as api:
    try:
        result = api.execute(query)
        print(result)
    except DatecalculatorAPIClientError as e:
        print(f"Error: {e.message}")
# Session is automatically closed here

Advanced Features

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging to see detailed request and response information:

from apiverve_datecalculator.apiClient import DatecalculatorAPIClient

# Enable debug mode
api = DatecalculatorAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]", debug=True)

query = {
    "start": "2022-01-01",
    "end": "2024-08-31"
}

# Debug information will be printed to console
result = api.execute(query)

Manual Session Management

If you need to manually manage the session lifecycle:

from apiverve_datecalculator.apiClient import DatecalculatorAPIClient

api = DatecalculatorAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")

query = {
    "start": "2022-01-01",
    "end": "2024-08-31"
}

try:
    result = api.execute(query)
    print(result)
finally:
    # Manually close the session when done
    api.close()
