End-to-End Code Example

To illustrate how to use the Vayu library for sending events to Vayu's API, here is a complete code snippet. This example combines all the steps detailed in previous sections:

from datetime import datetime
from vayu import Vayu

vayu = Vayu('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY')

vayu.send_events([{
    'name': 'api_call',
    'timestamp': datetime.now(),
    'customerAlias': 'customer_12345',
    'data': {
        'processing_duration': 124.83,
        'api_endpoint': '/api/v1/users',
    },
    'ref': '4f6cf35x-2c4y-483z-a0a9-158621f77a21'
}])

That's it! This example demonstrates how to send an event using Python and the Vayu library.

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Import Vayu

The first step is to import the Vayu class from the Vayu package.

from vayu import Vayu

Step 2: Initialize the Client

After importing, create a new Vayu instance and pass the api key

vayu = Vayu('YOUR_API_KEY')

Step 3: Send Events

Finally, you can send events to the Vayu API by using the send_events method. The method takes a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a single event. Each event dictionary should contain the following fields:

• name (string - required): A distinctive label assigned to an event. It serves as a critical identifier for categorizing and pricing events.
• timestamp (datetime): The exact moment when the event occurs.
• customerAlias (string): A unique identifier for each customer, which may be pseudonymous or obfuscated.
• data (object): A schema-less JSON object containing miscellaneous attributes and metrics associated with the event.
• ref (string, optional): A UUID or other high-entropy string serving as an immutable reference for each event entry.

Example:

vayu.send_events([{
    'name': 'api_call',
    'timestamp': datetime.now(),
    'customerAlias': 'customer_12345',
    'data': {
        'processing_duration': 124.83,
        'api_endpoint': '/api/v1/users',
    },
    'ref': '4f6cf35x-2c4y-483z-a0a9-158621f77a21'
}])
