meter-lib 0.0.5

A litewave library to collect the customer credit usage

meter-lib — Usage Guide

Overview

meter-lib is a lightweight helper library for sending metering events to the Litewave backend and for looking up a customer account by tenant_id.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

Installation

pip install meter-lib

Parameters Required

tenant_id,
device_id,
meter_id,
total_usage,
start_time,
end_time

Quickstart

from meter_lib import post_meter_usage

tenant_id = "tenant_123"
device_id = "us-east-ing1"
meter_id = "document.basic.page"

result = post_meter_usage(
    tenant_id=tenant_id,
    device_id=device_id,
    meter_id=meter_id,
    total_usage=24,  # integer units as defined by your meter
)

For AI enabled

from meter_lib import post_ai_meter_usage

tenant_id = "tenant_123"
device_id = "us-east-ing1"
meter_id = "chat.on.time_hours"
start_time = 1759791552000 # Timestamp in milliseconds

result = post_ai_meter_usage(
  tenant_id=tenant_id,
  device_id=device_id,
  meter_id=meter_id,
  start_time= start_time # Timestamp in milliseconds
)

For AI disabled

from meter_lib import post_ai_meter_usage

tenant_id = "tenant_123"
device_id = "us-east-ing1"
meter_id = "chat.on.time_hours"
end_time = 1779799552000 # Timestamp in milliseconds

result = post_ai_meter_usage(
  tenant_id=tenant_id,
  device_id=device_id,
  meter_id=meter_id,
  end_time= end_time # Timestamp in milliseconds
)

if result is None:
    print("Failed to post meter usage event")
else:
    print("Event accepted:", result)

Error Handling

• post_meter_usage returns None for network errors or non-success HTTP statuses.
• Prefer explicit checks for None and add retries or backoff in your application layer if needed.

API Reference

post_meter_usage(tenant_id: str, device_id: str, meter_id: str, total_usage: int) -> dict | None

• Description: Posts a metering event for a device and meter under a given tenant.
• Headers:
  • x-tenant-id: the tenant identifier (string)
  • x-device-id: the device identifier (string)
• Payload (JSON):
  • meter_id (string)
  • total_usage (integer)
  • customer_id (string) — auto-filled by the library.`
• Returns: The backend JSON response (dict) on success, otherwise None.
• Timeout: 10 seconds.
• Notes:
  • If the customer lookup fails, the call is skipped and None is returned.
  • This function is synchronous and will block until the request completes or times out.
