Setup

Environment

You must specify a Mist Org ID and a Mist API Token. These can be passed in via the command line (see Usage) or, preferably, set as envinronment variables:

export MIST_ORGID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
export MIST_TOKEN="12345123451234512345123451234512345"

To get an API Token, refer to the documentation provided by Mist https://api.mist.com/api/v1/docs/Auth#api-token

Usage

In your python script:

from dartmist import mist, misthelpers
api = mist.Mist(TOKEN, ORGID)
helper = misthelpers.MistHelpers(api)

To use the MistWebsocket class:

import threading
ev = threading.Event()
mwsock = mistwebsocket.MistWebsocket(TOKEN, ev)
mswock.open()
if ws.is_open:
    print("Yes, the Websocket is open")
else:
    logging.error("Failed to open Websocket")
    exit(-1)
mwsock.subscribe()
while not ev.isSet() and len(ws.messages) == 0:
    logging.debug("Waiting...")
    msg_rcvd = ev.wait(10)
if msg_rcvd or ev.isSet() or len(ws.messages) > 0:
    # Process messages
    msg = json.loads(ws.get_next_message())
mwsock.unsubscribe()
mwsock.close()
