microcdt 0.1.0

A microscopic client library for accessing Cloudant databases

The purpose of microcdt is to be the smallest practical client library for accessing Cloudant/CouchDB databases. It’s neither fully featured, nor complete in its API surface cover (nor is it intended to be).

It caters for the most basic operations, such as creating and deleting databases, reading, creating, deleting, and updating documents, and listing all documents in a database.

It also has rudimentary support for bulk operations.

The Cloudant class subclasses requests.Session, so any API endpoint not implemented directly can always be called using Cloudant.get|put|post|request.

Examples

from microcdt import Cloudant

db = 'mydatabase'
cdt = Cloudant('https://account.cloudant.com')
cdt.auth = (USERNAME, PASSWORD)

cdt.create_database(db)
result = cdt.create_doc(db, {'name': 'adam'})

cdt.delete_database(db)
