Configuration

Required environment variables:

• TIMEBACK_CLIENT_ID
• TIMEBACK_CLIENT_SECRET
• TIMEBACK_ENVIRONMENT in {production, staging}

Optional per-service base URL overrides:

• TIMEBACK_QTI_API_BASE_URL (defaults by environment)
• TIMEBACK_CALIPER_API_BASE_URL (defaults by environment)

Defaults by environment:

• production
  • OneRoster: https://api.alpha-1edtech.ai/
  • QTI: https://qti.alpha-1edtech.ai/api
  • Caliper: https://caliper.alpha-1edtech.ai
• staging
  • OneRoster: https://api.staging.alpha-1edtech.ai/
  • QTI: https://qti-staging.alpha-1edtech.ai/api
  • Caliper: https://caliper-staging.alpha-1edtech.ai

Quick start

from timeback import Timeback

client = Timeback()
user = client.oneroster.rostering.get_user("<sourcedId>")
print(user.sourcedId, user.givenName, user.familyName)

Override QTI/Caliper base URLs explicitly:

client = Timeback(
    environment="staging",
    qti_api_base_url="https://my-qti.example.com/api",
    caliper_api_base_url="https://my-caliper.example.com",
)

# Raw HTTP clients (services can be added later)
qti_health = client.qti_http.get("/health")
caliper_status = client.caliper_http.get("/status")

Services and endpoints

• OneRoster
  • client.oneroster.rostering.get_user(sourced_id, fields=None)

Design rules: service methods contain no business logic; each method calls a single endpoint function in timeback/services/.../endpoints/, which may import utilities from .../utils/. All endpoints/utilities return typed Pydantic models/enums from timeback/models and timeback/enums.

See docs for structure and procedures:

• timeback/docs/coding_guidelines.md
• timeback/docs/add_endpoint_procedure.md
• timeback/docs/oneroster/rostering/get_user.md

export TIMEBACK_CLIENT_ID=...
export TIMEBACK_CLIENT_SECRET=...
poetry run pytest -q -m integration

Development
