iotery.io python server SDK

iotery.io Python Server SDK

The python iotery.io SDK is intended to be used on your server or in your data processing apps 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 settings dashboard to get your server API Key.

After you get your key, install the SDK:

pip install iotery-python-server-sdk

Note: Make sure you are using Python 3.5+!

And finally, some simple example usage:

from iotery_python_server_sdk import Iotery


iotery = Iotery("my-key")

# find the exact `data` specification at https://iotery.io/v1/docs#createDeviceType
device_type = iotery.createDeviceType(
    data={"name": "My Device Type", "enum": "MY_DEVICE_TYPE", ...})

device_type_by_uuid = iotery.getDeviceTypeByUuid(
    deviceTypeUuid=device_type["uuid"], opts={"limit": 1})

The above code connects you to the iotary.io platform, creates a device type and then gets that device type.

Next, you might want to create a data type for the the device type you created...here's an example snippet:

temperature_data_type = iotery.createDataType(
  deviceTypeUuid=device_type_by_uuid["uuid"],
  data = {
    name: "Temperature",
    enum: "TEMPERATURE",
    units: "C",
    isNumber: true
  }
)

To have a "thing" (like a Raspberry Pi) create data, you will want to check out the iotery.io thing client.

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 javascript would look like

createDevice(
  deviceTypeUuid="a-valid-device-type-uuid",
  data={ "name": "My Device", "other": "parameter" }
)

where createDevice maps to methodName, deviceTypeUuid maps to inputParameter, and name and other map to the dictonary {data : "variables"} in the generalized form given above.

The available resource creation methods are

| createDeviceType | `` | link | Creates a new device type | | createDevice | deviceTypeUuid | link | Creates a new device with a given device type |

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

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

where getDeviceByUuid 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

| getDeviceTypes | `` | link | Gets all device types | | getDeviceTypeByUuid | deviceTypeUuid | link | Gets a device type by uuid |

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 javascript would look like

updateDeviceType(
  deviceTypeUuid="a-valid-device-type-uuid",
  data={ "name": "My New Name" }
)

where updateDevice maps to methodName, deviceTypeUuid maps to inputParameter, and { "name": "My New Name" } maps to the dictonary {data : "variables"} in the generalized form given above.

The available resource creation methods are

| updateDeviceType | deviceTypeUuid | link | Updates a device type by uuid |

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

| deleteDeviceType | deviceTypeUuid | link | Deletes a device type by uuid |

Simple Getting Data Example

from iotery_python_server_sdk import Iotery
import json

API_KEY = "MY_TEAM_API_KEY"

DEVICE_UUID = "MY_DEVICE_UUID"
DATA_TYPE_ENUM = "MY_DATA_TYPE_ENUM"

iotery = Iotery(API_KEY)

device_data_list = iotery.getDeviceDataList(
    opts={"dataTypeEnum": DATA_TYPE_ENUM, "limit": 5}, deviceUuid=DEVICE_UUID)

print(json.dumps(device_data_list["results"], indent=2))
