benchling-sdk 0.4.0a0

SDK for interacting with the Benchling Platform. Currently unsupported for production use.

Benchling SDK

A Python 3.8+ SDK for the Benchling platform.

Important! This is an unsupported pre-release not suitable for production use.

Getting Started

Installation

Install the dependency via Poetry (if applicable):

poetry add benchling-sdk

Or Pip:

pip install benchling-sdk

Using the SDK

Obtain a valid API key from your Benchling account and provide it to the SDK, along with the URL for the server. Example:

from benchling_sdk.benchling import Benchling
benchling = Benchling(url="https://my.benchling.com/api/v2", api_key="secure_api_key")

With Benchling now instantiated, make a sample call to all requests with the schema ID assaych_test:

requests = benchling.requests.list_all("assaych_test")

In general, API calls are synchronous and blocking.

Generators

Some methods which call paginated API endpoints will produce Python generators. Example:

requests_generator = benchling.requests.list("assaych_test")
next_request = next(requests_generator)

Error Handling

Failed API interactions will generally return a BenchlingError, which will contain some underlying information on the HTTP response such as the status. Example:

from benchling_sdk.errors import BenchlingError

try:
    requests = benchling.requests.list_all("assaych_test")
except BenchlingError as error:
    print(error.status_code)
