[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MPL%202.0-blue.svg)](https://github.com/digidotcom/python-devicecloud/blob/master/LICENSE)

Be sure to check out the [full documentation](https://digidotcom.github.io/python-devicecloud). A [Changelog](https://github.com/digidotcom/python-devicecloud/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) is also available.

Overview
--------

Python-devicecloud is a library providing simple, intuitive access to [Digi Remote Manager](https://www.digi.com/products/iot-software-services/digi-remote-manager) for clients written in Python.

The library wraps Digi Remote Manager's REST API and hides the details of forming HTTP requests in order to gain access to device information, file data, streams, and other features of Digi Remote Manager. The API can be found [here](https://doc-remotemanager.digi.com/).

The primary target audience for this library is individuals interfacing with Digi Remote Manager from the server side or developers writing tools to aid device development.

Example
-------

The library provides access to a wide array of features, but here is a couple quick examples to give you a taste of what the API looks like.

```python
from devicecloud import DeviceCloud

dc = DeviceCloud('user', 'pass')

# show the MAC address of all devices that are currently connected
#
# This is done using Device Cloud DeviceCore functionality
print "== Connected Devices =="
for device in dc.devicecore.get_devices():
    if device.is_connected():
        print device.get_mac()

# get the name and current value of all data streams having values
# with a floating point type
#
# This is done using Device Cloud stream functionality
for stream in dc.streams.get_streams():
    if stream.get_data_type().lower() in ('float', 'double'):
        print "%s -> %s" % (stream.get_stream_id(), stream.get_current_value())
```

Installation
------------

This library can be installed using [pip](https://github.com/pypa/pip). Python versions 2.7+ and 3+ are supported by the library.

```sh
pip install devicecloud
```

If you already have an older version of the library installed, you can upgrade to the latest version by doing

```sh
pip install --upgrade devicecloud
```

Supported Features
------------------

Eventually, it is hoped that there will be complete feature parity between Device Cloud API and this library.  For now, however, that is not the case.  The current features are supported by the library:

* Getting basic device information via DeviceCore
* Provision and Delete devices via DeviceCore
* Listing devices associated with a device cloud account
* Interacting with Device Cloud Data Streams
  * Create Streams
  * Get Stream (by id)
  * List all streams
  * Get metadata for a stream
  * Write a single datapoint to a stream
  * Write many datapoints to a stream (homogeneous bulk write)
  * Write many datapoints to multiple streams (heterogeneous bulk write)
  * Read data points from a stream (includes control over order of
    returned data set as well as allowing for retrieving data
    roll-ups, etc.)
* Support for accessing Device Cloud FileData store
  * Get filedata matching a provided condition (path, file extension,
    size, etc.)
  * Write files to filedata store
  * Recursively walk filedata directory tree from some root location
  * Get full metadata and contents of files and directories.
* Low level support for performing basic SCI commands with limited parsing
  of results and support for only a subset of available services/commands.
* APIs to make direct web service calls to Device Cloud with some details
  handled by the library (see DeviceCloudConnection and 'ws' documentation)
* Device Provisioning via Mac Address, IMEI or Device ID
* Monitors
* Creating a TCP or HTTP monitor

The following features are *not* supported at this time.  Feedback on
which features should be highest priority is always welcome.

* Alarms
* Scheduled Operations
* Asynchronous SCI requests
* High level access to many SCI/RCI operations
* DeviceMetaData
* DeviceVendor
* FileDataHistory
* NetworkInterface support
* XBee specific support (XBeeCore)
* Smart Energy APIs
* SMS Support
* SM/UDP Support
* Carrier Information Access
