.. code-block:: python

import pysnow

# Create client object
s = pysnow.Client(instance='myinstance',
user='myusername',
password='mypassword',
raise_on_empty=True)

# Create new record and catch possible server response exceptions
try:
s.insert(table='incident', payload={'field1': 'value1', 'field2': 'value2'})
except pysnow.UnexpectedResponse as e:
print("%s, details: %s" % (e.error_summary, e.error_details))

# Create a `Request` object by querying for 'INC01234' on table 'incident'
r = s.query(table='incident', query={'number': 'INC01234'})

# Fetch one record and filter out everything but 'number' and 'sys_id' from the results
r.get_one(fields=['number', 'sys_id'])

# Update
r.update({'this': 'that'})

# Attach
r.attach('path/to/somefile.txt')

# Delete
r.delete()

# Iterate over all records with state == 2 and print out number
for record in s.query(table='incident', query={'state': 2}).get_all():
print(record['number'])
