Examples

Synchronous

import sans
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

def main():
   sans.set_agent("Darcania")
   request = sans.Nation(
      "darcania",
      "fullname population flag census",
      mode="score",
      scale="65 66",
   )
   root = sans.get(request).xml
   sans.indent(root)
   print(ET.tostring(root, encoding="unicode"))

   with sans.stream("GET", sans.RegionsDump()) as response:
      for region in response.iter_xml():
         sans.indent(region)
         print(ET.tostring(region, encoding="unicode"))

if __name__ == "__main__":
   main()

Asynchronous

import asyncio
import sans
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

async def main():
   sans.set_agent("Darcania")
   async with sans.AsyncClient() as client:
      request = sans.Nation(
         "darcania",
         "fullname population flag census",
         mode="score",
         scale="65 66",
      )
      root = (await client.get(request)).xml
      sans.indent(root)
      print(ET.tostring(root, encoding="unicode"))

      async with client.stream("GET", sans.RegionsDump()) as response:
         async for region in response.aiter_xml():
            sans.indent(region)
            print(ET.tostring(region, encoding="unicode"))

if __name__ == "__main__":
   asyncio.run(main())

Authentication

auth = sans.NSAuth(password="hunter2")
sans.get(sans.Nation("testlandia", "ping"), auth=auth)
# X-Autologin is automatically retrieved and stored for when the auth object is re-used
print(auth.autologin)
# X-Pin is cached internally for repeated requests
root = sans.get(sans.Nation("testlandia", "packs"), auth=auth).xml

Telegrams

limiter = sans.TelegramLimiter(recruitment=False)
# The Telegram API can be used without a TelegramLimiter, but marking it ahead of time can save an API call.
response = sans.get(sans.Telegram(client="abcd1234", tgid="1234", key="abcdef1234567890", to="testlandia"), auth=limiter)
assert response.content == b"queued"

Server-Sent Events

for event in sans.serversent_events(
   client, "move", "founding", "cte", "member", "endo"
).view(regions=["the north pacific"]):
   print(event["str"])
