Vements Client Library for Python

The Vements Client Library for Python is a Python library for accessing the Vements API. It also includes a command line tool that can be used to interact with the API in scripts or in a terminal.

Documentation

See the Getting Started Guide for more information on how to use this library.

Installation

To install the Vements Client Library for Python, use the following command:

$ pip install vements

Build

There is no separate build step for the Python CLI tool, but you can simplify access with an alias:

$ alias vements='python -m vements'

Usage

The following example shows how to use the Vements Client Library for Python to create a new Vements client, and then use that client to create a new Vements scoreboard.

import vements

client = vements.Client()
scoreboard = client.scoreboard.create(display="My Scoreboard", rank_dir="desc", public=False)

Command Line Tool

The Python CLI tool supports all of the same operations as the CLI tool in other languages:

• achievement CRUD, list, leaderboard, record progress
• participant CRUD, list, progress, scores
• scoreboard CRUD, list, scoreboard, record score

The above commands all support the following options:

• --api-key to specify the API key
• --verbose to show verbose output

In addition to resource commands, these common commands are also supported:

• api-version to show the API version
• client-version to show the client library version

The library and CLI both support the following environment variables:

• API_KEY to specify the API key
• SERVER_TAGS to specify the tags used to select the server URL
