Blue Current Api

Python wrapper for the blue current api

The library is an asyncio-driven library that interfaces with the Websocket API provided by Blue Current. This was made for the Blue Current Home Assistant integration.

Usage

Requirements

• Python 3.11 or newer
• websockets
• pytz

Installation

pip install bluecurrent-api

Api token

Using this library requires a Blue Current api token. You can generate one in the Blue Current driver portal.

Example

from bluecurrent_api import Client
import asyncio


async def main():
    api_token = 'api_token'
    client = Client()

    # data receiver
    async def on_data(data):
        print('received: ', data)

    # validate and set token.
    await client.validate_api_token(api_token)

    # example requests
    async def on_open():
        await client.get_charge_points()
        await asyncio.sleep(10)
        await client.disconnect()

    # connect and send requests
    await client.connect(on_data, on_open)

asyncio.run(main())

Implemented methods

The methods validate_token and get_email are stand-alone and are to be used before connecting to the websocket with connect().

await validate_token(api_token) -> str

• Validates the given token.

await get_email() -> str

• Returns the account's email.

await connect(receiver)

• Connects to the websocket.
• Calls get_charge_points and get_charge_cards when connection is established.

is_connected() -> bool

• Returns if the client is connected

await wait_for_charge_points()

• Waits until chargepoints are received.

get_next_reset_delta() -> TimeDelta

• Returns the timedelta to the next request limit reset (00:00 Europe/Amsterdam).

await disconnect()

• Stops the connection.

Data

await get_charge_points()

• Gets the chargepoints

await get_charge_cards()

• Returns the users charge cards.

await get_status(evse_id)

• Gets the status from a chargepoint.

await get_settings(evse_id)

• Gets the setting states from a chargepoint.

await get_grid_status(evse_id)

• Gets the grid status from a chargepoint.

Settings

await set_linked_charge_cards_only(evse_id, value)

• Sets set_linked_charge_cards_only.

await set_plug_and_charge(evse_id, value)

• Sets set_plug_and_charge.

await block(evse_id, value)

• Blocks or unblocks a charge point.

Actions

await reset(evse_id)

• Resets the chargepoint.

await reboot(evse_id)

• Reboots the chargepoint.

await start_session(evse_id card_uid)

• Starts a charge session.

await stop_session(evse_id)

• Stops a charge session.
