Configuration

from vconnct_devkit import VConnctClient

client = VConnctClient(
    api_key="your-api-key",       # Required: Your API key
    secret_key="your-secret-key", # Required: Your secret key for HMAC signing
    base_url="https://v.cloudapi.vconnct.me/api/v4",  # Optional: API base URL

Error Handling

The SDK provides specific error classes for different error types:

from vconnct_devkit import (
    VConnctClient,
    VConnctError,
    AuthError,
    ValidationError,
    NotFoundError,
    RateLimitError,
)

try:
    room = client.rooms.get_active_room_info("invalid-room-id")
except AuthError as e:
    # Handle authentication errors (401)
    print(f"Authentication failed: {e.message}")
except ValidationError as e:
    # Handle validation errors (400)
    print(f"Validation error: {e.message}")
    if e.fields:
        print(f"Invalid fields: {e.fields}")
except NotFoundError as e:
    # Handle not found errors (404)
    print(f"Not found: {e.message}")
    print(f"Details: {e.details}")
except RateLimitError as e:
    # Handle rate limit errors (429)
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after: {e.retry_after} seconds")
except VConnctError as e:
    # Handle other API errors
    print(f"API error: {e.message}")
    print(f"Status code: {e.status_code}")

Error Classes

Error Class	Status Code	Description
AuthError	401	Invalid API key or signature
ValidationError	400	Request validation failed
NotFoundError	404	Resource not found
RateLimitError	429	Rate limit exceeded
VConnctError	*	Base error class for all API errors

Type Hints

This SDK includes full type hints. All request parameters and response types are fully typed:

from vconnct_devkit import (
    VConnctConfig,
    CreateQuickRoomParams,
    CreateScheduleRoomParams,
    CreateRoomResponse,
    FetchPastRoomsParams,
    FetchPastRoomsResponse,
    InvitationLinkParams,
    InvitationLinkResponse,
    GetActiveRoomResponse,
    GetActiveRoomsResponse,
    BrandingParams,
    BrandingResponse,
)

---

Authentication

All API requests are authenticated using:

• key header: Your API key
• hash-signature header: HMAC SHA256 signature (Base64 encoded)

The SDK handles signature generation automatically:

• GET requests: Signs the full URL path with query string
• POST/PATCH requests: Signs the JSON request body
• FormData requests: Signs the project_id

---

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• httpx >= 0.25.0
