getstream 1.1.0

No project description provided

Official Python SDK for Stream

Features

• Video call creation and management
• Chat session creation and management
• Token generation for user authentication

Installation

To install the Stream Client Library, run the following command:

pip install getstream

Usage

To get started, you need to import the Stream class from the library and create a new instance with your API key and secret:

from getstream import Stream

client = Stream(api_key="your_api_key", api_secret="your_api_secret")

Users and Authentication

from getstream.models import UserRequest

# sync two users using the update_users method, both users will get insert or updated
client.upsert_users(
    UserRequest(
        id="tommaso-id", name="tommaso", role="admin", custom={"country": "NL"}
    ),
    UserRequest(
        id="thierry-id", name="thierry", role="admin", custom={"country": "US"}
    ),
)

# Create a JWT token for the user to connect client-side (e.g. browser/mobile app)
token = client.create_token("tommaso-id")

Video API - Calls

To create a video call, use the client.video.call method:

import uuid
from getstream.models import (
    CallRequest,
    MemberRequest,
)

call = client.video.call("default", uuid.uuid4())
call.get_or_create(
    data=CallRequest(
        created_by_id="tommaso-id",
        members=[
            MemberRequest(user_id="thierry-id"),
            MemberRequest(user_id="tommaso-id"),
        ],
    ),
)

App configuration

# Video: update settings for a call type

# Chat: update settings for a channel type

Chat API - Channels

To work with chat sessions, use the client.chat object and implement the desired chat methods in the Chat class:

chat_instance = client.chat

# TODO: implement and call chat-related methods with chat_instance

Development

We use poetry to manage dependencies and run tests. It's a package manager for Python that allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and manage them. To install the development dependencies, run the following command:

poetry install
pre-commit install

To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:

poetry shell

To run tests, create a .env using the .env.example and adjust it to have valid API credentials

poetry run pytest tests/ getstream/

Before pushing changes make sure to have git hooks installed correctly, so that you get linting done locally pre-commit install

You can also run the code formatting yourself if needed:

poetry run ruff format getstream/ tests/

Writing new tests

pytest is used to run tests and to inject fixtures, simple tests can be written as simple python functions making assert calls. Make sure to have a look at the available test fixtures under tests/fixtures.py

Generate code from spec

To regenerate the Python source from OpenAPI, just run the ./generate.sh script from this repo.

[!NOTE] Code generation currently relies on tooling that is not publicly available, only Stream devs can regenerate SDK source code from the OpenAPI spec.
