cwtoken 0.4.3

Package handling tokens and URLs

cwtoken Technical Reference

cwtoken simplifies working with PostgREST APIs by:

• Automatically handling access token generation
• Provides a query constructor for URL generation, and a diagnostic mode for debugging
• Making authenticated GET requests to PostgREST endpoints
• Providing a CLI for quick testing and usage
• Including a user-friendly GUI for building and running queries without code

---

cwapi — API Client

Represents an authenticated connection to the PostgREST API. All queries are created via this object.

Constructor:

client = cwapi( api_token: str, clubcode: str = None, # required if access_token not provided access_token: str = None, base_url: str = "https://atukpostgrest.clubwise.com/" )

Attributes:

• client.access_token — automatically fetched if not provided
• client.headers — dict of headers including Authorization
• client.clubcode — club code used

Methods:

• client.table(endpoint: str) -> query
  Returns a query constructor object for building endpoint queries. Supports method chaining.

• client.raw_query(full_query: str) -> RawQuery
  Returns a raw query object for executing a fully specified URL.

query — Table-based Query Constructor

• Created via client.table(endpoint)
• Supports chained methods:

q = client.table("member")
.select("member_no", "first_name")
.filters("date_of_birth=gt.1980-01-01")
.order("first_name", desc=True)
.limit(10)

Methods:

• .select(*columns) — adds columns to select
• .filters(*filters) — raw PostgREST filter strings
• .order(*columns, desc=False) — orders results
• .limit(n) — limits results
• .fetch(diagnostic=False) -> pandas.DataFrame — executes query

RawQuery — Direct URL Query

• Created via client.raw_query(full_query)
• method:

df = client.raw_query("member?select=first_name&limit=10").fetch()

• .fetch() -> pandas.DataFrame — executes URL request
• Bypasses query builder chaining; used for pre-formed URLs

CLI Functions

test_connection()

Pings the API server to check if it's reachable.

Can be run from the CLI:

cwtoken test

cwtoken gui

Launches the graphical interface for building and executing queries.

Run it from the CLI like this:

cwtoken gui

Notes on Usage

• Queries are always linked to a client.
• Method chaining is supported for the query object.
• Both query and RawQuery return pandas.DataFrame on .fetch().
• RawQuery can be used for fully constructed URLs without using the query builder.
