from databridges_sio_client_lib.exceptions import dBError
dbridge = dBridges()
Global Configuration
Required
The following is the list of required connection properties before connecting to dataBridges network.
dbridge.auth_url = 'URL'
dbridge.appkey = 'APP_KEY'
You need to replace URL
and APP_KEY
with the actual URL and Application Key.
Properties | Description | Exceptions |
---|---|---|
auth_url |
(string) Authentication url from dataBridges dashboard. | source: DBLIB_CONNECT code: INVALID_URL |
appkey |
(string) Application Key from dataBridges dashboard. | source: DBLIB_CONNECT code: INVALID_AUTH_PARAM |
Optional
The following is the list of optional connection properties before connecting to dataBridges network.
dbridge.maxReconnectionRetries = 10
dbridge.maxReconnectionDelay = 120000
dbridge.minReconnectionDelay = 1000 + Math.random() * 4000
dbridge.reconnectionDelayGrowFactor = 1.3
dbridge.minUptime = 200
dbridge.connectionTimeout = 10000
dbridge.autoReconnect = True
dbridge.cf.enable = False
Properties | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
maxReconnectionDelay |
10 |
(integer) The maximum delay between two reconnection attempts in seconds. |
minReconnectionDelay |
1000 + Math.random() * 4000 |
(integer) The initial delay before reconnection in milliseconds (affected by the reconnectionDelayGrowFactor value). |
reconnectionDelayGrowFactor |
1.3 |
(float) The randomization factor used when reconnecting (so that the clients do not reconnect at the exact same time after a server crash). |
minUptime |
200 |
(integer) Uptime before connected event is triggered, value in milliseconds. |
connectionTimeout |
10000 |
(integer) Number of milliseconds the application will wait for a connection to be established. If it fails it will emit a connection_error event. |
maxReconnectionRetries |
10 |
(integer) The number of reconnection attempts before giving up. |
autoReconnect |
true |
(boolean) If false, application will not attempt reconnecting. |
cf.enable |
false |
(boolean) Enable exposing client function for this connection. (Check Client Function section for details.) |
access_token |
function |
(function) If you need custom authorization behavior for generating signatures for private/ presence/ system channels/rpc functions, you can provide your own access_token function. |
Connection
Once the properties are set, use connect()
function to connect to dataBridges Network.
try:
await dbridge.connect()
except Exception as e:
print("source: {0} , code: {1}, message: {2}".format(e.source , e.code , e.message))
Exceptions:
Source | Code | Message | Description |
---|---|---|---|
DBLIB_CONNECT | INVALID_URL | Value of dbridge.auth_url is not a valid dataBridges authentication URL. |
|
DBLIB_CONNECT | INVALID_AUTH_PARAM | Value of dbridge.appkey is not a valid dataBridges application key. |
|
DBLIB_CONNECT | INVALID_ACCESSTOKEN_FUNCTION | If "callback function" is not declared for authentication only while using private, presence or system channel/RPC functions. (Check Channel or RPC section for details.) | |
DBLIB_CONNECT | HTTP_ | HTTP protocol reported message. | HTTP Errors returned during authentication process. HTTP Error code will be concatenated with HTTP_ in the err.code . eg. HTTP_501 |
DBLIB_CONNECT | INVALID_CLIENTFUNCTION | If "callback function" is not declared for client function or typeof() variable defined is not a "function". This is applicable only if clientFunction is enabled. (Check Client Function section for details.) |
sessionid (string)
print("sessionid: {0}".format( dbridge.sessionid))
Making a connection provides the application with a new sessionid
that is assigned by the server. This can be used to distinguish the application's own events. A change of state might otherwise be duplicated in the application. It is also stored within the connection, and used as a token for generating signatures for private/presence/system channels/rpc functions.
disconnect (function)
To close a connection use disconnect function. When a connection has been closed explicitly, no automatic reconnection will happen.
await dbridge.disconnect()

Bind to connectionstate events
Apart from retrieveing state of a dBrige connection, application can bind to connectionstate events.
You can use the following methods on connectionstate object to bind to events.
dbridge.connectionstate.bind(eventName, callable)
dbridge.connectionstate.unbind(eventName)
dbridge.connectionstate.unbind()
bind()
on eventName
has callback functions to be defined where you can write your own code as per requirement.
To stop listening to events use unbind(eventName)
function.
To stop listening to all events use unbind()
[without eventName] function.
Below are library events which can be bind to receive information about dataBridges network.

object:Channel
channel object exposes trust-safe flexible Pub/Sub messaging properties, functions and events to build realtime event messaging / event driven applications at scale.
Concepts
- A message is attached to an event
- Group similar events into a channel
- Subscribe to a channel to receive all channel event messages.
- Publish event message to the channel and it will be sent to all the channel subscribers who are connected to dataBridges network and online.
- if you need to have an access controlled channel, prefix the channel name with pvt: , prs: and sys: .To subscribe to these type of channel. you will need to pass a trust-token when you subscribe to the channel. A trust-token is a JWT document created using a combination of channelname + sessionid + app.secret.
- Use your existing access control, authorization and session identification rule-set, process and methods to create a trust-token instructing the dataBridges router to accept the pvt: prs: and sys: channel subscription, connection of from client application.
- Trust-tokens allows you to enable secured, access controlled and compliance driven realtime event driven messaging in your existing and new initiative applications.
dataBridges library supports 4 types of channel. The namespace is the 4 characters preceding the channelName (pvt:,prs:,sys:
), identifying which type of channel the application is connecting to. If the channel type is pvt:,prs:,sys:
, dataBridges library will use the access_token
function to get the access encrypted token and will use it for all communication with this channel.
Channel Type | Channel Name Style | Description |
---|---|---|
Public | channelName | Public channel is used to send and receive messages that are to be publicly available. This channel type does not require any trust authorization token to subscribe. e.g channelName = mychannel |
Private | **pvt:**channeName | Private channels is restricted channel. application will need to provide trust authorization token to subscribe and use Private channel. The dataBridges library will use the access_token function to get the trust authorization token. e.g channelName = pvt:mychannel |
Presence | **prs:**channeName | Presence channels is a specialized private channel with additional feature of presence awareness. Subscribing to presence channel allows application to be notified of members joining / leaving the channel. Since Presence channel is a specialized version of Private channel, application will need to provide trust authorization token to subscribe and use Private channels. The dataBridges library will use the access_token function to get the trust authorization token.e.g channelName = prs:mychannel |
System | **sys:**channeName | System channel is a specialized Presence channel to build command and control applications. Using System channel to create command and control server applications to send messages to devices and application using dataBridges library in **trust-safe manner **, build smart update configuration system and implement **trust-safe ** actions for remote and automated management. System channel allows application to send and receive messages with the server application (using dataBridges server library). Since System channel is a specialized version of Presence channel, application will need to provide trust authorization token to subscribe and use Private channels. The dataBridges library will use the access_token function to get the trust authorization token.e.g channelName = sys:systeminfo |
dataBridges library provides 2 different ways to access any of above channel types based on usage.
Channel Type | Description |
---|---|
Subscribe to Channel | application that subscribes to a channel will receive messages and can send messages. |
Connect to Channel | Where we have use-cases where application needs to only send messages and not interested to consume / receive channel messages, should connect to channel instead of subscribing to the channel. |
Subscribe to Channel
Application that subscribes to a channel will receive messages and can send messages.
subscribe()
The default method for subscribing to a channel involves invoking the channel.subscribe

publish()
The default method for publishing to a channel involves invoking the channel.publish
function of your channelObject.
try:
channelObject.publish(eventname, payload, excludeSessionId, sourceId, seqno)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
# Best practice is to check the channel is online before publishing any message.

Binding to events
A message is linked to an event and hence event-message. dataBridges allows you to bind to various events to create rich event processing flows. An application needs to bind to event to process the received message.
You can use the following methods either on a channelObject, to bind to events on a particular channel; or on the dbridgeObject, to bind to events on all subscribed channels simultaneously.
bind
and unbind
Bind to "event" on channel: payload and metadata is received.
# Binding to channel events on channelObject
def eventFunction(payload , metadata):
print(payload , metadata)
try:
channelObject.bind('eventName', eventFunction)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
# Binding to channel events on dbridgeObject
try {
dbridge.channel.bind('eventName', eventFunction)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
event |
(string) event Name to which binding to be done. |
Callback parameters
payload:
(string)
Payload data sent by the publisher.
metadata (dict)
:
{
"channelname": "channelName" , // (string) channelName to which subscription is done.
"eventname": "event", // (string) eventName
"sourcesysid": "", // (string) Sender system identity, applicable only for presence or system channel.
"sqnum": "1", // (string) user defined, sent during publish function.
"sessionid": "", // (string) Sender sessionid, applicable only for presence or system channel.
"intime": 1645554960732 // (string) EPOC time of the sender at time of publish.
}
Exceptions:
Source | Code | Description |
---|---|---|
DBLIB_CONNECT_BIND | INVALID_EVENTNAME | eventName cannot be blank or null. |
DBLIB_CONNECT_BIND | INVALID_CALLBACK | If "callback function" is not declared or typeof() variable defined is not a "function". |
DBLIB_CHANNEL_CONNECT | INVALID_CHANNEL_TYPE_BINDING | Invalid Event name. This binding is not allowed in channel.connect . |
Unbind behavior varies depending on which parameters you provide it with. For example:
# Remove just `handler` of the `event` in the subscribed/connected channel
channelObject.unbind("eventName",handler)
# Remove all `handler` of the `event` in the subscribed/connected channel
channelObject.unbind("eventName")
# Remove all handlers for the all event in the subscribed/connected channel
channelObject.unbind()
# Remove `handler` of the `event` for all events across all subscribed/connected channels
dbridge.channel.unbind("eventName",handler)
# Remove all handlers of the `event` for all events across all subscribed/connected channels
dbridge.channel.unbind("eventName")
# Remove all handlers for all events across all subscribed/connected channels
dbridge.channel.unbind()
bind_all
and unbind_all
bind_all
and unbind_all
work much like bind
and unbind
, but instead of only firing callbacks on a specific event, they fire callbacks on any event, and provide that event in the metadata to the handler along with the payload. bind_all
and unbind_all
is not available for connected_channel
i.e. dbridge.channel.connect()
object.
# Binding to channel events on channelObject
def eventFunction(payload , metadata):
print(payload , metadata)
try:
channelObject.bind_all('eventName', eventFunction)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
# Binding to channel events on dbridgeObject
try {
dbridge.channel.bind_all('eventName', eventFunction)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
Callback out parameter payload, metadata
details are explained with each event below in this document.
Exceptions:
Source | Code | Description |
---|---|---|
DBLIB_CONNECT_BIND | INVALID_CALLBACK | If "callback function" is not declared or typeof() variable defined is not a "function". |
unbind_all
works similarly to unbind
.
# Remove just `handler` across the channel
channelObject.unbind_all(handler)
# Remove all handlers for the all event in the subscribed/connected channel
channelObject.unbind_all()
# Remove `handler` across the subscribed/connected channels
dbridge.channel.unbind_all(handler)
# Remove all handlers for all events across all subscribed/connected channels
dbridge.channel.unbind_all()
System events for channel object
There are a number of events which are triggered internally by the library, but can also be of use elsewhere. Below are the list of all events triggered by the library.
Below syntax is same for all system events.

object: rpc (Remote Procedure Call)
rpc object exposes trust-safe properties, functions and events to provide reliable two-way messaging (request-response) between multiple endpoints allowing you to build sophisticated asynchronous interactions.
Concepts
- Client application allows you to execute RPC functions exposed by server applications.
- Client application is called CALLEE and the server application is called CALLER.
- Client application will execute a remote function by passing IN.paramter, and a timeout
- The server application's corresponding function will be invoked with the IN.parameter and it will respond with response() or exception() which will be delivered back to the CALLEE client application by dataBridges network completing the request-response communication.
- Client application need not be aware about RPC servers identity and will only interact with RPC server namespace. The dataBridges network will intelligently route and load balance RPC call() to the RPC server application. The dataBridges network will automatically load balance multiple instance of server application exposing the same RPC endpoints.
- Trust-tokens are supported by RPC as well. You will need to pass a trust-token when you connect to the access controlled RPC endpoint. A trust-token is a JWT document created using a combination of rpc server endpoint / server name + sessionid + app.secret.
- Use your existing access control, authorization and session identification rule-set, process and methods to create a trust-token instructing the dataBridges router to accept the pvt: prs: rpc endpoint/server connection of from client application.
- Trust-tokens allows you to enable secured, access controlled and compliance driven reliable two-way messaging (request-response) in your existing and new initiative applications.
Connect to Server
To use rpc functions, the application has to connect to the rpc endpoint/server. This is done using connect()
function explained below.
connect()
The default method for connecting to a rpc endpoint/server involves invoking the rpc.connect
function of your dataBridges object.
try:
rpcClient = dbridge.rpc.connect('rpcServer')
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)

Execute Remote Procedure Call
call()
rpcObject call() function allows you to execute a remote function hosted by RPC endpoint / server using dataBridges server library
- passing function parameter as parameter
- while setting an time to live (TTL) for the response
The RPC call() functions supports multipart response (where the RPC function can send back multiple responses to a single RPC function call) along with exception routine.
def progress(response):
print("multipart: " , response)
def onResult(response):
print("response: ", response)
def onError(error):
print(error.code, error.source, error.message)
try:
p = await rpcClient.call("functionName" , parameter , 10000, progress)
p.then(onResult).catch(onError)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
# Below example how a application can connect to a RPC endpoint / Server called mathServer and use add, multiply functions.
try:
myMathServer = dbridge.rpc.connect('mathServer');
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
obj = { "num1":44.5, "num2":30};
inparam = json.dumps(obj);
try:
p = await myMathServer.call(add , inparam , 10000, progress)
p.then(onResult).catch(onError)
q = await myMathServer.call(multiply , inparam , 10000, progress)
q.then(onResult).catch(onError)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)

System events for rpc object
There are a number of events which are triggered internally by the library, but can also be of use elsewhere. Below are the list of all events triggered by the library.
Below syntax is same for all system events.
# Binding to systemevent on rpcObject
try:
rpcClient.bind("eventName", eventCallback)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
# Binding to systemevent on rpcObject
try:
dbridge.rpc.bind("eventName", eventCallback)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
bind_all
and unbind_all
bind_all
and unbind_all
work much like bind
and unbind
, but instead of only firing callbacks on a specific event, they fire callbacks on any event, and provide that event in the metadata to the handler along with the payload.
# Binding to rpc events on rpcObject
def eventFunction(payload , metadata):
print(payload , metadata)
try:
rpcClient.bind_all('eventName', eventFunction)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
# Binding to rpc events on dbridgeObject
try {
dbridge.rpc.bind_all('eventName', eventFunction)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
Callback out parameter payload, metadata
details are explained with each event below in this document.
Exceptions:
Source | Code | Description |
---|---|---|
DBLIB_CONNECT_BIND | INVALID_CALLBACK | If "callback function" is not declared or typeof() variable defined is not a "function". |
unbind_all
works similarly to unbind
.
# Remove just `handler` connected rpc server
rpcClient.unbind_all(handler)
# Remove all handlers for the all event in the connected rpc server
rpcClient.unbind_all()
# Remove `handler` across the connected rpc servers
dbridge.rpc.unbind_all(handler)
# Remove all handlers for all events across all connected rpc servers
dbridge.rpc.unbind_all()

object:Cf (Client Function)
CF (Client-function) object is a special purpose RPC | request-response implementation to build command and control applications. CF object exposes properties, functions and events for command and control server applications to send messages to devices and application using dataBridges library in **trust-safe manner **, build smart update configuration system and implement **trust-safe ** actions for remote and automated management.
CF REDUCES HUGE ENGINEERING TIME EFFORT REQUIRED TO DESIGN, BUILD AND MAINTAIN A ROBUST COMMAND-CONTROL INFRASTRUCTURE.
- A client function(s) is a callback function exposed by the client library as a RPC (remote procedure call).
- Server application (using dataBridges server library), can execute the CF function remotely.
Concepts
- CF (client-function) simplifies the comand and control type application design and maintenance.
- iOT and large distributed system requires a standard, secured and compliant method to send reliable request-response communication to the managed devices from authenticated and authorized Command-and-Control server applications. dataBridges CF allows you you to expose device functions and capabilities in a easy, secured manner allowing only authoirized dataBridges server applications to communicate with the devices, remote applications.
- Only server application using dataBridges server library + application key secret can execute CF functions exposed by remote devices.
- The server application is called CALLER (the one executing cf.call() function)
- The server application needs to know the sessionID of the device to which it needs to communicate.
- The device application exposing command functions is called CALLEE. Only authenticated and authorized server application will be allowed to communicate with the device application for device / application management.
Properties
The following is the list of cf properties. These properties has to be set before dbridge.connect()
Property | Description |
---|---|
enable |
(boolean) (default:false) If application wants to enable clientFunction functionality, this needs to be true else false . |
functions |
(function) A client function(s) is a callback function exposed by the client library as a RPC (remote procedure call). |
enable:
You need to enable cf in the connection property.
dbridge.cf.enable = True
functions:
Application can expose callback function(s) as Client function (special case RPC | Request-Response). Server application using dataBridges server library can remotely execute the client functions. Each function needs to be registered with the library as a client function (CF), using dbridge.cf.regfn()
where you can link the functionName to ClientFunctionName.
- The client application that exposes the client function is called a CALLEE.
- The server application that executes the client function is called a CALLER.
Functions can be defined either inside the property callback function or anywhere in the scope of application. Below code exhibits both ways of exposing the function.
# function is exposed outside the property callback function, but in the scope of application.
async def cfFunOutside(inparameter, response):
try:
response.tracker = True
upTime = {"uptime": "13:34:30 up 8 days, 3:10, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.11, 0.21"};
response.next('retrieving system uptime')
response.end(json,dumps(upTime))
response.exception('INVALID_PARAM', 'Wrong parameter')
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
async def cfFunctionBinder():
async def cfFunInside(inparameter, response):
#// function is exposed inside the property callback function.
response.tracker = True
try:
response.tracker = True
uName = {"uname": "Linux analysis 2.6.32-696.30.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 03:28:18 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"};
response.next('retrieving uName')
response.end(json.dumps(uName))
response.exception('INVALID_PARAM', 'Wrong parameter')
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
try:
dbridge.cf.regfn("isro", cfFunInside)
dbridge.cf.regfn("nasa", cfFunOutside)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
dbridge.cf.functions = cfFunctionBinder
# unbinding of function exposed by rpc functions
dbridge.cf.unregfn("nasa", cfFunOutside)
Below are parameters of the callback function which is exposed to clientfunctions.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
payload |
(string) The inParameter for the clientFunction. |
response |
(object) The library creates a response object unique for each client function call. The Response object has properties and function to return execution results of the function back to caller. |
response: (object)
Properties/Function | Description |
---|---|
tracker |
(boolean) This will enable response tracker, and event cf.response.tracker will be fired if any issue happens in sending back response to caller. Enable this property if your function needs a confirmation of reponse delivered to the caller. |
id |
(string) (readonly) Each client function execution is assigned a unique ID by the library. when the response tracker is enabled, the application can bind to an event cf.response.tracker to get the delivery notification. The event will indicate the delivery notification linked to this ID. Client application will need to maintain this ID to track the delivery notification. |
next |
(function) dataBridges CF (Special case RPC |request-response) supports mult-part response. Application can use response.next to send multi-part response to the caller. |
end |
(function) response.end is to send the final response to the caller. Once end is called, the object is closed and no more response can be sent. |
exception |
(function) Two parameter, return errorCode (string) ,errorMessage (string) is sent to caller. This will raise an exception at the caller library. |
Exceptions:
Below exceptions are raised in the cf.regfn
.

DBLIB_CF_REGFN | INVALID_FUNCTION_NAME | Invalid Function name. |
DBLIB_CF_REGFN | INVALID_CALLBACK | Callback is not a function or is not defined. |
Below exceptions are raised on response
object inside the registered function.
Source | Code | Description |

DBLIB_CF_CALL | NETWORK_DISCONNECTED | Connection to dataBridges network is not active. |
DBLIB_CF_CALL | RESPONSE_OBJECT_CLOSED | Return response object is closed. Thus the function is unable to respond back to the call. |
resetqueue()
dbridgeObject resetqueue() . The dataBridges network maintains in-process CF function execution status. resetqueue() informs the dataBridges network that all in-process CF function execution will be dropped by the application and response to be invalidated. Resetqueue() use case is intended to be used by application in its self health status management. Sometime due to the application process flow, the application can identify situation where it would like to ease its load by resettiing the CF function execution queue by sending resetqueue() message to dataBridges network and than closing all in-process CF function execution.
try:
await dbridge.cf.resetqueue();
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)

System events for cf object
There are a number of events which are triggered internally by the library, but can also be of use elsewhere. Below are the list of all events triggered by the library.
Below syntax is same for all system events.
# Binding to systemevent on dbridgeObject
def eventFunction(payload,metadata):
print(payload,metadata)
try:
dbridge.cf.bind('eventName', eventFunction)
except dBError as e:
print(e.code, e.source, e.message)
cf.response.tracker
Callback parameters
Return Values | Description |
---|---|
payload |
(string) Tracker identifier. which is same as response.id |
metadata |
(string) Refer below table. |
Error Identifier | Description |
---|---|
RE_12616 | cf caller is disconnected from dataBridges network and hence cannot process response tracking. |
RE_13151 | cf caller is disconnected from dataBridges network and hence cannot process response tracking. |
RE_30030 | The cf client is disconnected from dataBridges network |
RE_33635 | The cf client is disconnected from dataBridges network |
cf.callee.queue.exceeded
Callback parameters
payload: (dberror object)
{
"source": "DBNET_CF_CALL" , // (string) Error source
"code": "ERR_CALLEE_QUEUE_EXCEEDED", // (string) Error code
"message": "" // (string) Error message if applicable.
}
metadata:
null
dberror:
Source | Code | Description |
---|---|---|
DBNET_CF_CALL | ERR_CALLEE_QUEUE_EXCEEDED | No new cf calls are being routed by the dataBridges network to the application because the application's current cf processing queue has already exceeded. Each application connection cannot exceed cf.queue.maximum. Refer to management console documentation for cf.queue.maximum details. |
