An API Wrapper written for restdb.io which helps host online databases.
Project description
Restdb.io API Wrapper
This package is an API Wrapper for the website restdb.io, which allows for online databases. The API calls to the databases rely on the Rest API, I just made python classes and methods to make things easier to work with. The package is still in development stage, and I have so far only been able to implement a CollectionAPI class, along with custom decorators and exceptions.
Installation
pip install restdbio_api_wrapper
or
python -m pip install restdbio_api_wrapper
Usage
Using the package to connect to your database on restdb.io is pretty straightforward. First of all, you need your dburl and x-apikey. dburl is mostly the same as your database name in the Databases dashboard. Head over to the following link to see your api key:
https://restdb.io/account/databases/<dburl>/api
Then, put the following line in your code:
from restdbio_api_wrapper import Connection
Proceed to creating a Connection object:
database_connection = Connection(<dburl>, <x-apikey>)
Everything will be set up for you after this. You can access the CollectionAPI object automatically created within the Connection object using the .collection_api attribute. Through your CollectionAPI object, you are able to make API calls directed at your collection in your database. For example:
result = database_connection.collection_api.get_records_from_collection("demo_collection", q={"first_name": "Jack"})
You can of course, use different methods, customize your queries, use additional parameters like max, skip, filter, groupby, aggregate and so on. Issue the following line to see all methods available:
help(database_connection.collection_api)
