linnworks-api-python 0.1.0

Linnworks API Python Client

linnworks-api-python

This is a python version of the Linnworks API https://apidocs.linnworks.net/reference/overview

We use the openapi generator https://openapi-generator.tech/ to convert the linnworks api swagger api models https://github.com/LinnSystems/PublicApiSpecs into a python package.

This creates a requests based API with pydantic types. Awesome!

This project consists of tweaks I had to make to aws auth schemes to get things working with the openapi generator client, the generator script that creates the models and a little bit of documentation. Nothing fancy.

Prerequisites

• python 3.9+
• linnworks api credentials. See the docs https://apidocs.linnworks.net/reference/setting-up

Installation

pip install linnworks-api-python

Usage

import os
from linnworks_api.generated.auth.api import AuthApi
from linnworks_api.generated.auth.models.authorize_by_application_request import AuthorizeByApplicationRequest

from linnworks_api.generated.inventory.api import InventoryApi
from linnworks_api.generated.inventory.base_client import LinnworksConfig, LinnworksClient as InventoryClient

# Mock responses
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()


def test_auth():
    """This is an example of how to get an auth token"""
    props = AuthorizeByApplicationRequest(
        ApplicationId=os.getenv("LW_CLIENT_ID"),
        ApplicationSecret=os.getenv("LW_CLIENT_SECRET"),
        Token=os.getenv("LW_TOKEN"),
    )
    auth_api = AuthApi()
    response = auth_api.authorize_by_application(props)
    assert isinstance(response.token, str)


def test_inventory():
    """This is an example of how to create a client and make an API call"""
    inventory_client = InventoryClient(
        linnworks_config=LinnworksConfig(
            client_id=os.getenv("LW_CLIENT_ID"),
            client_secret=os.getenv("LW_CLIENT_SECRET"),
            token=os.getenv("LW_TOKEN"),
        )
    )
    inventory_api = InventoryApi(inventory_client)
    response = inventory_api.get_inventory_items_count()
    assert response == 1

Development

This is a poetry project so do the normal poetry install type things to set up your environment.

We use a Makefile for build automation.

• make clean removes the generated code
• make generate generates the schemas
• make test runs unit tests
• make lint-fix fixes linting issues and checks compliance with linting standards
