timeplus 1.4.0

Timeplus python SDK

Timeplus Python Client

Timeplus is a real-time streaming data analytic platform. Timeplus python client provides basic functionalities to interact with Timeplus cloud, to manage the streaming analytic work loads.

Installation

Proton Python Driver currently supports the following versions of Python: 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10.

Installing with pip

We recommend creating a virtual environment when installing Python dependencies. For more information on setting up a virtual environment, see the Python documentation

pip install timeplus

3 API

The timeplus python libary supports 3 API:

• DB API as defined in Python Database API Specification v2.0.
• SQLAchamy
• REST API

DB API

Timeplus python client support DB API defined in Python Database API Specification v2.0.

from timeplus.dbapi import connect

api_key = "your_timeplus_apikey"
api_address = "us.timeplus.cloud"
workspace = "your_timeplus_workspace_id"

# create a connection using host/password/workspace
conn = connect(host=api_address, password=api_key, path=workspace)

# run a streaming query
cursor = conn.execute("select * from car_live_data")

# get first result from the qeury
next_result = cursor.next()

# get next one result from the qeury
row1 = cursor.fetchone()

# get next three result
rows = cursor.fetchmany(3)

Note, as the streaming query result is unbounded, the cursor will not end, fetch will be blocked is there is no new query result.

SQLAchamy

Timeplus python client has implemeted a SQLAlchemy dialect to run queries, so user can use it with SQLAlchemy API.

import os
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text, select, MetaData, Table
from sqlalchemy.dialects import registry

# register timeplus dialect
registry.register("timeplus", "timeplus.sqlalchemy", "TimeplusDialect")

api_key = os.environ.get("TIMEPLUS_API_KEY")
api_address = "dev.timeplus.cloud"
port = 443
workspace = os.environ.get("TIMEPLUS_WORKSPACE") or "tp-demo"

# create a new engine
engine = create_engine(
    f"timeplus://:{api_key}@{api_address}:{port}/{workspace}")

# execute streaming sql
with engine.connect() as connection:
    result = connection.execute(text("select * from car_live_data"))
    count = 0
    max = 10
    for row in result:
        print(f"got one row : {row}")
        count += 1
        if count >= max:
            break

# execute statement using table from metadata
metadata_obj = MetaData()
car_table = Table(table_name, metadata_obj, autoload_with=engine)
print(f"reflected table is {car_table}")
print(f"cols is {[ (c.name, c.type) for c in car_table.columns]}")

stmt = select(car_table).where(car_table.c.cid == "c00001")
print(stmt)
with engine.connect() as conn:
    count = 0
    max = 3
    for row in conn.execute(stmt):
        print(f"got one row from query {row}")
        count += 1
        if count >= max:
            break

REST API

Timeplus python client also provides resources wrapper which can be used to call the Timeplus REST API through python object.

here is a list of all supported resources

Resource	Supported Methods
Stream	create,list,get,delete,ingest,exist
Query	create,list,get,delete,cancel,analyze
Source	create,list,get,delete,start,stop
Sink	create,list,get,delete,start,stop
View	create,list,get,delete,exist
UDF	list
Alert	list
Dashboard	list

query

Run streaming query and fetch the query result with query metrics.

    )
