portlandgeneral-api 1.1.0

Unofficial Python library for communicating with the Portland General (Electric) API

portlandgeneral-api

An unofficial Python library for requesting data from the Portland General Electric (PGE) API.

Portland General (PGE): https://portlandgeneral.com/

API: https://api.portlandgeneral.com/

PGE GraphQL Endpoint: https://api.portlandgeneral.com/pge-graphql

Installation

The package is availble via PyPi and can be installed with the following command:

pip3 install portlandgeneral-api

To install it from the repo, clone the repo and cd into the directory:

git clone https://github.com/piekstra/portlandgeneral-api.git
cd portlandgeneral-api

You can install this library with pip:

pip3 install .

Examples

There are two examples available, one for the PortlandGeneralApi and one for the OPowerApi.

Testing

This project leverages wiremock to test the code to some extent. Note this will not protect the project from changes that Portland General makes to their API, but instead verifies that the existing code functions consistently as written.

Local Testing

Note that the tests setup leverages the local_env_vars.py file. The values for those environment variables need to be set based on the following:

• PORTLANDGENERAL_USERNAME: [e-mail] - This must have parity with the email in the body specified in tests/wiremock/mappings/jwt_request.json
• PORTLANDGENERAL_PASSWORD: portlandgeneral_password - This must have parity with the password in the body specified in tests/wiremock/mappings/jwt_request.json
• IDP_HOST_OVERRIDE: http://127.0.0.1:9090 - This URL is simply http://127.0.0.1 but the url port must have parity with the docker-compose.yaml wiremock service's exposed http port.
• API_HOST_OVERRIDE: http://127.0.0.1:9090 - This URL is simply http://127.0.0.1 but the url port must have parity with the docker-compose.yaml wiremock service's exposed http port.

To run tests, you will first need to start the wiremock service by running:

docker-compose up -d

Then, you can run the actual tests with the following command:

pytest --verbose

GitHub Testing

This project leverages GitHub Actions and has a workflow that will run these tests. The environment configuration for the tests must have parity with the local_env_vars.py file from the local testing.

Releases

Releases should follow a Semantic Versioning scheme.

When changes have been made that warrant a new release that should be published, modify the __version__ in setup.py

After the change is merged to the main branch, go to releases and Draft a new release. The Tag version should follow the pattern v1.0.0 and should Target the main branch.

The Release title should not include the v from the tag and should have a reasonably detailed description of the new release's changes.

Once the release has been published, the .github/workflows/python-publish.yml GitHub Actions Workflow should trigger and automatically upload the new version to PyPi using GitHub secrets credentials.

Not-so-secret Keys

Certain values found in constants.py are copied from the Portland General's Website where they conveniently left their source maps. Those values are in fact not tied to a personal account with Portland General, but are instead specific to their deployments.
