logafault 1.2.0

An SDK for interacting with CityPower's APIs.

logafault - SDK for Logging Faults with City Power

logafault is a Python SDK that allows users to programmatically log faults with City Power, provided they have a valid username and password. This package interacts with City Power's website and API to authenticate users, retrieve fault data, and log new faults.

Installation

You can install logafault directly from PyPI:

pip install logafault

Usage

1. Authenticate and Get Session Cookie

To interact with the City Power APIs, you first need to authenticate with your username and password to get a session cookie. This cookie is required for subsequent API requests.

from logafault.auth import get_cookie, AuthError

# Replace with your City Power username and password
username = "your_username"
password = "your_password"

try:
    cookie = get_cookie(username, password)
    print("Successfully authenticated!")
except AuthError as e:
    print(f"Authentication failed: {e}")

2. Fetch All Logged Faults

Once authenticated, you can retrieve all logged faults associated with your account. The get_all_faults function fetches the list of faults.

from logafault.faults import get_all_faults, FaultsAPIError

try:
    faults = get_all_faults(cookie)
    print("Logged faults:", faults)
except FaultsAPIError as e:
    print(f"Failed to fetch faults: {e}")

3. Log a New Fault

You can also log a new fault using the log_fault function. You will need to provide the necessary fault data in the form of a dictionary.

from logafault.faults import log_fault, FaultsAPIError

# Sample fault data (replace with actual fault details)
fault_data = {
    "workType": "NS", # No Supply
    "childWorkType": "NSA", # No Supply (Area)
    "customLookupCode2": "Prepaid",
    "description": "My bat signal is off.",
    "custom2": "1234567890", # Meter Number
    "custom4": "", # Alternate Account Number
    "contactNumber": "0123456789",
    "contactName": "Bruce Wayne",
}

try:
    response = log_fault(cookie, fault_data)
    print("Fault logged successfully:", response)
except FaultsAPIError as e:
    print(f"Failed to log fault: {e}")
