Description

This package wraps the SAP IoT Services, Cloud Foundry Edition Device Management APIs as well as the REST and the MQTT Cloud Gateway APIs in easy-to-use Python code. You can find more information on the APIs here and here.

Features include:

• Wrapper around every functionality of the Device Management API
• Better error feedback
• Wrapper around both Cloud Gateways
• Both clients, REST and MQTT, are extended so that they work directly with the encrypted keys in the pem file
• Better error handling and error feedback for REST and MQTT
  • The MQTT client has an on_error and an on_command callback which directly return the parsed message
  • The REST client parses the error for batched and single uploads and throws an error with the respective message
  • Both clients return the failed message to enable the user to retry easily

Requirements

You will need an instance of IoT Services, Cloud Foundry to use this SDK. You can find more information on how to activate the service here.

Installation

The package will be available at pip:

pip install iot-services-sdk

If you want to download it manually, please make sure to install paho-mqtt and requests into your Python environment.

How to obtain support

Please use GitHub Issues to file a bug.

Usage

Please refer to the API documentation in the PDF file for details. You can check the tests for sample code.

Here is a small example displaying the following functionality:

• Creating capabilities, a sensor type, a sensor and a device.
• Downloading the certificate and creating a MQTT client.
• Publishing valid and invalid measures as well as publishing and receiving commands.
• Deleting every entity which was created.

Test

To run the tests, you have to place a config.ini in the root directory. It has to contain the following information:

[IOTS]
INSTANCE=myinstance.eu10.cp.iot.sap
BASE_URI=/iot/core/api/v1
GATEWAY_URI=/iot/gateway
USER=myuser
PASSWORD=mypassword

Then, run

nosetests

in the root directory. The tests will clean up after themselves - there is no need to check your system afterwards.

Build Docs

Use Sphinx to build the documentation directly from the docstrings:

cd docs

sphinx-apidoc -f -o source/ ../sap_iot_services_sdk

make latexpdf

Copy the SAPIoTServicesSDK.pdf file into the root directory.
