mercury-ocip-fast

mercury-ocip-fast is a lightning fast and async-first Python SDK for BroadWorks OCI-P. It uses connection pooling and concurrent request batching to handle bulk operations efficiently.

from mercury_ocip_fast import Client
from mercury_ocip_fast.commands import UserGetRequest21sp1

async with Client(
        host="broadworks.server",
        username="admin",
        password="secret"
    ) as client:
        # single request
        response = await client.command(
            UserGetRequest21sp1(
                    user_id="user@example.com"
                )
            )

        # bulk requests - batched and processed concurrently
        users = ["user1@example.com", "user2@example.com", "user3@example.com"]
        responses = await client.command(
                [
                    UserGetRequest21sp1(user_id=u)
                    for u in users
                ]
            )

Testing has shown that the tool can negatively impact BroadWorks infrastructure, as it allows a very high volume of requests to be sent within a short period of time. The extent of the impact will vary from cluster to cluster, depending on hardware specifications, network capacity, and other general factors. Please use this responsibly, high capability requires careful consideration.
