iotery.io Embedded Python SDK

The python iotery.io SDK is intended to be used on your embedded device to interact with the itoery.io IoT Platform. The SDK is a fully featured wrapper for the REST API.

Getting Started

Setup your free account on iotery.io and go to your dashboard get started with creating device types and devices.

After you get your key, install the SDK:

pip install iotery-embedded-python-sdk

Note: Make sure you are using Python 3.5+!

And finally, some simple example usage:

from iotery_embedded_python_sdk import Iotery
TEAM_ID="265fcb74-8889-11f9-8452-d283610663ec" # team ID found on the dashboard: https://iotery.io/system
iotery = Iotery()
d = iotery.getDeviceTokenBasic(data={"key": "thermal_sensor_001",
                                     "serial": "THERMAL_SENSOR_001", "secret": "thermal_sensor_001_secret", "teamUuid": TEAM_ID})
iotery.set_token(d["token"])
me = iotery.getMe()

print(me["name"])

API

This SDK simply wraps the REST API, so more information and specifics can be found there. Since the API is a wrapper around the REST API, the syntax is standard for each of the Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations on iotery.io resources. All methods return a dictonary containing the API response. If there is an error, the method will raise an expection.

Creating Resources

The generalized syntax for creating resources in iotery.io python sdk looks like:

iotery.methodName(inputParameter="parameter", data={ "data": "variables" })

For example, to create a device, the python would look like

createDeviceCommandInstanceEmbedded(
  deviceUuid="a-valid-device-type-uuid",
  commandTypeUuid="a-valid-command-type-uuid",
  data={}
)

where createDeviceCommandInstanceEmbedded maps to methodName, deviceUuid maps to inputParameter, and data={} and maps to the dictonary {data : "variables"} in the generalized form given above.

The available resource creation (POST) methods are

Reading Resources

The generalized syntax for reading (getting) resources in iotery.io python sdk looks like:

iotery.methodName(inputParameter="parameter", opts={"query":"parameter"})

For example, to get a device by it's unique identifier uuid, the python would look like

getDeviceTypeFirmwareRecord(
  deviceUuid="a-valid-device-uuid",
  version="valid version",
  opts={ "limit": 1 }
)

where getDeviceTypeFirmwareRecord maps to methodName, deviceUuid maps to inputParameter, and { "limit": 1 } maps to the dictonary {"query" : "parameters"} in the generalized form given above.

The limit option is for instructive purposes only. By definition, a uuid is unique and so there will never be more than one device for a given uuid.

The available resource creation methods are

Updating Resources

The generalized syntax for updating resources in iotery.io python sdk looks like:

iotery.methodName(inputParameter="parameter", data={ "data": "variables" })

For example, to update a device type, the code would look like

updateDeviceChannel(
  deviceUuid="a-valid-device-type-uuid",
  channelId="1",
  data={}
)

where updateDeviceChannel maps to methodName, deviceUuid maps to inputParameter, and {} maps to the dictonary {data : "variables"} in the generalized form given above (if there was a body).

The available resource creation methods are

Deleting Resources

The generalized syntax for reading (getting) resources in iotery.io python sdk looks like:

iotery.methodName(inputParameter="parameter", opts={"query":"parameter"})

For example, to get a device by it's unique identifier uuid, the python would look like

deleteDevice(
  deviceUuid="a-valid-device-uuid",
  opts={ "some": "option" }
)

where deleteDevice maps to methodName, deviceUuid maps to inputParameter, and { "some": "option" } maps to the dictonary {"query" : "parameters"} in the generalized form given above.

The available resource creation methods are
