endaq-cloud

The cloud subpackage for endaq-python

This package houses tools and functions to make both interacting with the enDAQ Cloud API and the enDAQ Cloud <https://cloud.endaq.com>_ itself easier.

Tools:

API Wrapper:

The API Wrapper provides a simple command-line interface for accessing basic file and device information from the enDAQ Cloud API. Output of all commands except account and attributes are in csv files in the output folder.

To access the cloud, this tool requires an API key associated with a user's enDAQ Cloud account, which can be provided in two ways:

• (recommended) add to the endaq.cloud project directory a .env file, formatted like so:

    API_KEY=<Your Key>
  

• pass in an API key through the command line using the --key option

warning

For security reasons, it is generally discouraged to make an authentication key visible on-screen or accessible through the clipboard, such as when using the --key option; we provide the key option solely as a convenience.

Runs on Python 3.6 and higher

Commands

• files Outputs file information for selected number of files and attributes
• file-id Outputs file information for file with specified ID to output file
• devices Ouputs device information for selected number of files
• device-id Output device information for device with specified ID to output file
• account Prints out account information
• attributes Adds an attribute to a specified file
• set-env Creates a .env file with passed in API key NOT SECURE
