Usage

After installing, you can start using the client in your Python code. The main class to interact with is Folketinget, which provides access to various API endpoints. Currently, only the "Sag" endpoint is supported with two query methods.

1. Get Latest Updated IDs Since a Given Timestamp

To retrieve the IDs of "Sag" records updated after a specific timestamp:

import datetime
from folketinget import Folketinget

# Initialize the client
client = Folketinget()

# Define the timestamp (e.g., yesterday)
yesterday = datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

# Retrieve the IDs of cases updated since yesterday
updated_ids = client.sag.get_latest_updated_ids_since(timestamp=yesterday)

print("Updated IDs since yesterday:", updated_ids)

2. Get a Fixed Number of Latest Updated IDs

To retrieve a specified number of the most recently updated "Sag" records:

from folketinget import Folketinget

# Initialize the client
client = Folketinget()

# Retrieve the 10 most recent updated case IDs
latest_ids = client.sag.get_n_latest_updated_ids(n=10)

print("10 latest updated case IDs:", latest_ids)
