python-coiote 2.5.0

Interact with Coiote DM API

Coiote Python

python-coiote is a Python package providing access to the Coiote DM server API. It supports v3 Coiote DM API.

Features

python-coiote enables you to:

• interact with Coiote DM v3 API to manage your devices, groups and domains,
• automatically URL-encode path parameters whenever needed,
• convert API responses to convenient Python data classes,
• conveniently deal with batch/paginated responses from v3 API,
• handle authentication errors and retries,

and more.

Installation

python-coiote is compatible with Python >= 3.7.

Use pip to install the latest stable version of python-coiote:

pip install --upgrade python-coiote

Authentication

There are two ways of authenticating in Coiote API when using this SDK:

• Using credentials to your Coiote account:

from coiote.auth import Credentials
from coiote.client import Coiote


client = Coiote(url="https://eu.iot.avsystem.cloud", auth=Credentials("<your-username>", "<your-password>")) 

Since Coiote does not support generating API tokens yet, preferably, you should create a separate account in your Coiote domain that will have the permissions only to access the API endpoints you intend to use.

• Using a raw token acquired manually using the oauth endpoint in v3 API:

from coiote.client import Coiote

client = Coiote(url="https://eu.iot.avsystem.cloud", auth="<your-token>") 

Using device client

python-coiote comes with builtin high level client designed for accessing specific device and to do so, composes multiple API calls. To read more, see Device Client class. The device client supports a set of basic operations:

client = Coiote(url="https://eu.iot.avsystem.cloud", auth="<token>")
endpoint_name = "device_name"
device = client.create_device_client(endpoint_name)

Get the whole datamodel or its parts:

device.get_all_data()
device.get_resource_value("Device.0.Timezone")

Schedule writing value to device's data model (it's async, method returns task ID):

write_task_id = device.write_to_resource("Device.0.Timezone", "Kraków/Radzikowskiego")

Schedule reading value from the actual device into its data model (it's async, method returns task ID):

read_task_id = device.read_resource("Device.0.Timezone")

Manually schedule executing a resource on a device (it's async, method returns task ID):

execute_task_id = device.execute_resource("Device.0.Reboot")

Schedule reboot of the device (it's async, method returns task ID):

reboot_task_id = device.reboot_device()

Get recently reported location:

device.get_location()

Access the device historical data - only for resources from objects with ID > 502:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

start_time = datetime.now() - timedelta(minutes=15)
end_time = datetime.now()
data = c.device_monitoring.get_data_batch(endpoint_name, lwm2m_url="/3303/0/5700", start_time=start_time, end_time=end_time)
