Usage Examples

Command Line (CLI)

After installing the package, you can use the CLI tool digixt-sdk:

# Basic usage - subscribe to a channel
digixt-sdk \
  --url ws://localhost:8000/connection/websocket \
  --auth-url http://localhost:3000 \
  --username myuser \
  --api-key my-api-key \
  --channel updates

# Run with timeout (60 seconds)
digixt-sdk \
  --url ws://localhost:8000/connection/websocket \
  --auth-url http://localhost:3000 \
  --username myuser \
  --api-key my-api-key \

  --auth-url http://localhost:3000 \
  --username myuser \
  --api-key my-api-key \
  --channel updates \
  --debug

You can also use it as a Python module:

python -m digixt_realtime_sdk.cli --help

Or use it programmatically in Python scripts:

import asyncio
from digixt_realtime_sdk import DigiXTSDK

async def main():
    sdk = DigiXTSDK(
        url='ws://localhost:8000/connection/websocket',
        auth_url='http://localhost:3000',
        username='myuser',
        api_key='my-api-key'
    )
    await sdk.connect()
    await sdk.subscribe('updates', on_publication=lambda ctx: print(ctx['data']))
    await asyncio.sleep(60)
    await sdk.disconnect()

asyncio.run(main())

Jupyter Notebook

Jupyter notebooks support top-level await, making async SDK usage straightforward:

# In a Jupyter notebook cell
import asyncio
from digixt_realtime_sdk import DigiXTSDK

# Initialize
sdk = DigiXTSDK(
    url='ws://localhost:8000/connection/websocket',
    auth_url='http://localhost:3000',
    username='myuser',
    api_key='my-api-key',
    debug=True
)

# Set up handlers
messages = []
def on_message(ctx):
    messages.append(ctx['data'])
    print(f"Received: {ctx['data']}")

sdk.on('connected', lambda ctx: print('Connected!'))
sdk.on('error', lambda err: print(f'Error: {err}'))

# Connect and subscribe (use await at top level)
await sdk.connect()
await sdk.subscribe('updates', on_publication=on_message)

# Analyze messages later
print(f"Total messages: {len(messages)}")

See examples/jupyter_example.ipynb for a complete Jupyter notebook example.
