Installing

The project is published on PyPI, and can be install using pip or any other package manager:

$ pip install ornitho

Manual installation can be done with following command:

$ pip install .

Optional caching dependency can be installed with

$ pip install ornitho[caching]

Usage

Before the client can be used consumer_key, consumer_secret, user_email, user_pw and api_base must be set:

import ornitho

ornitho.consumer_key = "CONSUMER_KEY"
ornitho.consumer_secret = "CONSUMER_SECRET"
ornitho.user_email = "USER_MAIL"
ornitho.user_pw = "USER_PASSWORD"
ornitho.api_base = "https://www.ornitho.de/api/"

The client can then be used.

Caching

If the additional caching dependency is installed, non chunked responses can be cached. For activating the cache one has to set the cache_enabled flag. Following settings are available:

ornitho.cache_enabled = True          # Enable/Disable caching
ornitho.cache_name = "ornitho_cache"  # Name of the cache
ornitho.cache_backend = "redis"       # Set caching backend, possible values: sqlite, memory, mongodb, redis
ornitho.cache_expire_after = 600      # Set expiration time for cached responses

For more information see the requests-cache documentation

Examples

Following code shows how to get all observation from ornitho.de between 01.10.2019 and 31.10.2019:

import os
import ornitho

ornitho.consumer_key = os.environ.get("ORNITHO_CONSUMER_KEY")
ornitho.consumer_secret = os.environ.get("ORNITHO_CONSUMER_SECRET")
ornitho.user_email = os.environ.get("ORNITHO_USER_EMAIL")
ornitho.user_pw = os.environ.get("ORNITHO_USER_PW")
ornitho.api_base = "https://www.ornitho.de/api/"

resp = ornitho.Observation.search_all(period_choice="range", date_from="01.10.2019", date_to="31.10.2019")
print(f"Found {len(resp)} observations between 01.10.2019 and 31.10.2019")
