LDLite-RTR is a fork of the original LDLite tool from the Library Data Platform project that supports Refresh Token Rotation (RTR) in the Quesnelia release (and later) of FOLIO. It should function as a drop-in replacement for the original ldlite library.

LDLite-RTR is a lightweight, open source reporting tool for Okapi-based services. It is part of the Library Data Platform project and provides basic LDP functions without requiring the server to be installed.

To install LDLite or upgrade to the latest version:

$ python -m pip install --upgrade ldlite-rtr

(On some systems it might be python3 rather than python.)

To extract and transform data:

$ python
>> > import ldlite
>> > ld = ldlite.LDLite()
>> > ld.connect_okapi(url='https://folio-juniper-okapi.dev.folio.org/',
                      tenant='diku',
                      user='diku_admin',
                      password='admin')
>> > db = ld.connect_db()
>> > _ = ld.query(table='g', path='/groups', query='cql.allRecords=1 sortby id')
ldlite: querying: / groups
ldlite: created
tables: g, g__t, g__tcatalog
>> > ld.select(table='g__t')

Note: the following resources are for the original ldlite project. There shouldn't be any significant differences right now, but that could change

• LDLite API documentation

• The LDP project runs a Slack workspace which is a good place to ask questions or to share your work. It also serves as a community space for working together on library data problems. To request an invitation, use the Contact page on the LDP website.
