hass-flair-api 1.1.1

Forked Flair API Client

Flair API Client (Python)

This package provides a very simple API client for the Flair API. Since the Flair API uses the JSON-API standard, this client is just a very thin wrapper around a JSON API client, but provides hooks for a extending it with custom models.

Installation

Eventually this will be released on PyPi, for now you'll need to install via github

pip install git+git://github.com/flair-systems/flair-api-client-py.git

This package depdends on requests, and requires Python 3.5 or greater.

Usage

from flair_api import make_client

client = make_client(client_id, client_secret, 'https://api.flair.co/')

# retrieve a list of structures available to this account
structures = client.get('structures')

# get a single room by id
room = client.get('rooms', id="1")

# fetch vents in a room
vents = room.get_rel('vents')

# delete a room
room.delete()

# update a room
room.update(attributes={'name': 'Master Bedroom'}, relationships=dict(structure=structures[0], vents=vents))

# create a vent
vent = c.create('vents', attributes={'name': 'North Vent'}, relationships=dict(room=room))

# Add a vent to a room
room.add_rel(vents=vent)

# Update vent relationship for a room
room.update_rel(vents=[vent])

# Delete a vent relationship for a room
room.delete_rel(vents=vent)

Authorization

At the moment, this package only supports authenticating to the Flair API using a client credentials request. This will give access to resources owned by the user to whom the credentials were issued. Support for other OAuth flow will be coming in future releases.

Extension

If, instead of having requests initialize or update the default Resource object, you'd like to use your own classes you can initialize the client with a mapper:

from flair_api import make_client, Resource

class User(Resource):
    def __init__(*args, **kwargs):
        self.__super__.init(*args, **kwargs)
        
    def __str__(self):
        return "User: " + self.attributes['name']
        
client = make_client(client_id, client_secret, 'https://api.flair.co/', mapper={'users': User})

users = client.get('users')

for user in users:
    print(user)  # "User: Edward", "User: Kenny", "User: Danimal"
