entitysdk 0.7.8

Python library for interacting with the entitycore service

entitysdk

entitysdk is a Python library for interacting with the entitycore service, providing a type-safe and intuitive interface for managing scientific entities, and their associated assets.

Requirements

• Python 3.11 or higher
• Network access to entitycore service endpoints

Installation

pip install entitysdk

Obtaining a valid access token

An access token can be retrieved easily using the obi-auth helper library.

pip install obi-auth

from obi_auth import get_token

token = get_token(environment="staging")

Quick Start

from uuid import UUID
from entitysdk import Client, ProjectContext, models

# Initialize client
client = Client(
    project_context=ProjectContext(
        project_id=UUID("your-project-id"),
        virtual_lab_id=UUID("your-lab-id")
    ),
    environment="staging",
    token_manager=token
)

# Search for morphologies
iterator = client.search_entity(
    entity_type=models.ReconstructionMorphology,
    query={"mtype__pref_label": "L5_TPC:A"},
    limit=1,
)
morphology = next(iterator)

# Upload an asset
client.upload_file(
    entity_id=morphology.id,
    entity_type=models.ReconstructionMorphology,
    file_path="path/to/file.swc",
    file_content_type="application/swc",
)

Authentication

• Valid Keycloak access token
• Project context with:
  • Valid project ID (UUID)
  • Valid virtual lab ID (UUID)

Example configuration:

from uuid import UUID
from entitysdk import ProjectContext

project_context = ProjectContext(
    project_id=UUID("12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"),
    virtual_lab_id=UUID("87654321-4321-4321-4321-210987654321")
)

Development

Requirements

• tox/tox-uv

Clone and run tests

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/entitysdk.git

# Run linting, tests, and check-packaging
tox

Auto-generate server schemas

Server schemas at src/entitysdk/_server_schemas.py, which are currently used for importing enum types, can be updated with the following tox command:

tox -e generate-server-schemas

Please note that a manual step is required following the generation of the schemas. Importing future annotations requires to be moved at the top of the file:

from __future__ import annotations
