lippertzpy

A lightweight Python library for the Jifeline Partner API and local logging.

Simplify API requests, keep your authentication in one place, and automatically write log files next to your scripts.

Language

• README German

Features

• Easy access to the Jifeline Partner API
• Helpers for get, post, put, and delete
• OAuth token is cached and reused until shortly before it expires
• API error messages are included in the raised exception
• Local logging via liplog

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or newer
• Valid credentials for the Jifeline Partner API

Installation

Install from PyPI:

python -m pip install lippertzpy

Install directly from GitHub:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/R0g3rT/lippertzPy.git

Update:

python -m pip install --upgrade lippertzpy

Uninstall:

python -m pip uninstall lippertzpy

Configuration

Create a .env file in the same folder as the Python script you start and add your credentials:

client_id=your_client_id
client_secret=your_client_secret

Alternatively, set client_id and client_secret as environment variables. Existing environment variables take precedence over the .env file.

Quick start

from lippertzpy import get, post, write_log

write_log("API client started", "RUN")

ticket = get("tickets/tickets/123")
result = post("endpoint", {"key": "value"})

write_log("Done", "SUCCESS")

Supported API methods

• get(endpoint)
• post(endpoint, data)
• put(endpoint, data)
• delete(endpoint)

data is sent as JSON. Empty responses (e.g. 204 No Content) return {}. On HTTP errors a requests.HTTPError is raised that contains the status code and the response text of the API.

Logging

write_log and setup_logging come from liplog.

Supported levels: RUN, INFO, SUCCESS, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL. An unknown level raises a ValueError.

Log files are stored in a logs folder next to the Python script that was started. The folder is created on the first log entry.

Changes in 0.2.0

• Logging now uses liplog: the log folder is logs (previously log)
• write_log(message, level="INFO"): the retries and delay_ms parameters were removed
• Requires Python 3.10 or newer
