losant-rest 1.21.0

A REST client for the Losant API

Losant Python REST API Client

The Losant REST API client provides a simple way to use the comprehensive Losant API. You can authenticate either as a Losant device or with your user account, and have access to all the functionality of the Losant platform.

This client works with both Python 2.7 and 3. It uses Requests under the covers for the actual HTTP communication.

Installation

The latest stable version is available in the Python Package Index (PyPi) and can be installed using

pip install losant-rest

Example

Below is a high-level example of using the Losant Python REST API client to authenticate against the Losant Platform and report state for a device.

from platformrest import Client
from analog import AnalogSensor

client = Client()
creds = {
    'deviceId': 'my-device-id',
    'key': 'my-app-access-key',
    'secret': 'my-app-access-secret'
}
response = client.auth.authenticate_device(credentials=creds)

client.auth_token = response['token']
app_id = response['applicationId']

state = {'data': {'temperature': AnalogSensor.read()}}
response = client.device.send_state(deviceId='my-device-id',
    applicationId=app_id, deviceState=state)

print(response)
""" {'success': True} """

API Documentation

Client

A client is a single api instance. By default, it is unauthenticated, but can be given an access token to perform authenticated requests.

Constructor

Client(auth_token=None, url="https://api.losant.com")

The Client() constructor takes the following arguments:

• auth_token
  The access token to be used for authentication - by default there is no access token. An access token can be acquired through any of the Auth methods, or can be created for a particular application through application_api_tokens.

• url
  The url of the Losant API - by default https://api.losant.com.

Properties

• auth_token
  The access token can be accessed or changed after Client creation through this property.

• url
  The api base url can be accessed or changed after Client creation through this property.
