Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher (as specified in pyproject.toml)
• A Shovels API key

Installation

For users:

• Install using poetry (recommended) or pip:

  poetry add pyshovels
  

  or

  pip install pyshovels
  

For contributors:

• Fork and clone the repo and install in editable mode:

  git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/pyshovels.git
  cd pyshovels
  

  then

  poetry install
  

  or

  pip install -e .
  

Setting your API key:

• Set your Shovels API key as an environment variable (recommended):
  • Add your Shovels API key to a .env file - look at the .env.example file for an example
  • Or set it as an environment variable directly

    export SHOVELS_API_KEY="your-api-key"
    

  • Then, load the environment variables using the load_env function:

    from pyshovels import load_env, ShovelsAPI
    load_env(env_path="./path/to/.env")  # not necessary if you set the API key as an environment variable directly
    shovels = ShovelsAPI()
    

• Or pass the API key as an argument to the ShovelsAPI class:

  from pyshovels import ShovelsAPI
  shovels = ShovelsAPI(api_key="your-api-key")
  

  ⚠️ Note: If passing the API key as an argument, be careful not to accidentally share it with others.

Usage

Look at the examples folder for usage examples.
