ouro-py 0.3.15

The official Python library for the Ouro API

ouro-py

The Ouro Python library provides convenient access to the Ouro REST API from any Python 3.7+ application. Visit Ouro to learn more about the Ouro platform.

Documentation

The REST API documentation can be found on ouro.foundation/docs/developers/api.

Installation

# install from PyPI
pip install ouro-py

Usage

Generate an API key from your account settings by going to ouro.foundation/settings/api-keys.

Set your Ouro environment variables in a dotenv file, or using the shell:

export OURO_API_KEY="your_api_key"

Init client:

import os
from ouro import Ouro

api_key = os.environ.get("OURO_API_KEY")
ouro = Ouro(api_key=api_key)

Use the client to interface with the Ouro framework.

Create a dataset

rows = [
    {"name": "Bob", "age": 30},
    {"name": "Alice", "age": 27},
    {"name": "Matt", "age": 26},
]

res = ouro.datasets.create(
    data=rows,  # also accepts a Pandas DataFrame or a single dict row
    name="your_dataset_name",
    description="your_dataset_description",
    visibility="private",
)

data is required for datasets.create(...) and must include at least one row and one column.

Read a dataset

id = "3d82308b-0747-45e4-8045-c8f7d2f6c0a6" # penguins dataset

# Retrieve a dataset
dataset = ouro.datasets.retrieve(id)

# Option 1: Load dataset's data as json using the table name
data = ouro.datasets.load("penguins")

# Option 2: Load dataset's data using the PostgREST client
data = ouro.database.table("penguins").select("*").limit(1).execute()

# Option 3: Read dataset's data as a Pandas DataFrame
df = ouro.datasets.query(id)

Update a dataset

id = "3d82308b-0747-45e4-8045-c8f7d2f6c0a6"
data_update = [
    {"name": "Bob", "age": 30},
    {"name": "Alice", "age": 27},
    {"name": "Matt", "age": 26},
]

update = {
    "visibility": "private",
    "data": data_update,  # also accepts a DataFrame or single dict row
}
data = ouro.datasets.update("018f86da-b1be-7099-9556-fe88fb6882c3", **update)

Create a post

content = ouro.posts.Editor()
content.new_header(level=1, text="Hello World")
content.new_paragraph(text="This is a paragraph written in code.")

post = ouro.posts.create(
    content=content,
    name="Hello World",
    description="This is a post from the Python SDK",
    visibility="private",
)

Read a post

id = "b9ff1bfd-b3ae-4e92-9afc-70b1e1e2011a" # The post id

post = ouro.posts.retrieve(id)

Update a post

id = "b9ff1bfd-b3ae-4e92-9afc-70b1e1e2011a" # The post id

new_content = ouro.posts.Editor()
new_content.new_header(level=1, text="Hello World")
new_content.new_paragraph(text="This is a paragraph, but different this time.")

update = {
    "name": "Hello World",
    "visibility": "public",
    "content": new_content,
}
post = ouro.posts.update(id, **update)
