Telenor NB-IoT client

nbiot-python

NBIoT-Python provides a Python client for the REST API for Telenor NB-IoT.

Configuration

The configuration file is located at ${HOME}/.telenor-nbiot. The file is a simple list of key/value pairs. Additional values are ignored. Comments must start with a #:

#
# This is the URL of the Telenor NB-IoT REST API. The default value is
# https://api.nbiot.telenor.io and can usually be omitted.
address=https://api.nbiot.telenor.io

#
# This is the API token. Create new token by logging in to the Telenor NB-IoT
# front-end at https://nbiot.engineering and create a new token there.
token=<your api token goes here>

The configuration file settings can be overridden by setting the environment variables TELENOR_NBIOT_ADDRESS and TELENOR_NBIOT_TOKEN. If you only use environment variables the configuration file can be ignored. Finally, there is a Client constructor that accepts the address and token directly.

Sample code

from nbiot import nbiot

client = nbiot.Client()
stream = await client.collection_output_stream('<YOUR_COLLECTION_ID>')
while True:
	try:
		msg = await stream.recv()
	except nbiot.OutputStreamClosed:
		break
	print(msg.payload)

Development

Development is done using Pipenv. Run pipenv install --dev to install all dependencies.

Because Python has not properly solved dependency management yet, dependencies must be be repeated in setup.py under the install_requires entry.

Testing

Tests are written using pytest. Run pipenv run pytest to run all the tests.

Deployment

To build and upload a new version to PyPI, make sure that you are using Python 3 and run

python setup.py sdist
python setup.py bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/*          # `pip install twine` to get this tool
