dcTrackClient

Sunbird dcTrack API clients in Python and JavaScript

Installation

dcTrackClient can be installed from the package manager of your choice.

Python

pip install dcTrackClient

JavaScript

npm i dctrackclient

Initialize a connection to the dcTrack API

Authentication is by using a base URL (the same URL to access the GUI) and a username and password, or a base URL and an API token.

Python

from dcTrackClient import Client
## Using a username and password ##
api = Client('https://dctrack.example.com/', username='user', password='pass')
## Using an API token ##
api = Client('https://dctrack.example.com/', apiToken='token')

JavaScript

import * as api from 'dctrackclient';
// Using a username and password // 
api.Client.authenticate('https://dctrack.example.com/', { username: 'user', password: 'pass' });
// Using an API token //
api.Client.authenticate('https://dctrack.example.com/', { apiToken: 'token' });

Usage Example

This section is currently under construction.

Create an item:

• This example shows the minimum attributes required to create an item
• See the official documentation for a comprehensive list of attributes
• This function returns the JSON object for the newly created item
• If it fails, the function will return a JSON object containing the error message

api.createItem({'cmbLocation': 'SAMPLE LOCATION', 'tiName': 'NEW-ITEM', 'cmbMake': 'Generic', 'cmbModel': 'Generic^Rackable^01'})

Retrieve item details:

item = api.getItem(1234)

Returns:

{
    "item": {
        ... // item attributes in here
    }
}

Modify an existing item:

api.modifyItem(1234, {'tiSerialNumber': 'SN-12345', 'tiAssetTag': 'DEV-12345'})

Delete an existing item:

api.deleteItem(1234)
