# cumulocity-python-api

This project is a Python client for the Cumulocity REST API to make it easier to develop programs, scripts, device agents or microservices in Python.

See also the [documentation on _Read the Docs_](https://cumulocity-python-api.readthedocs.io/).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The Cumulocity Python API will be discontinued in favor of its spiritual successor, the _Cumulocity Python SDK_ ([pyc8y](https://pypi.org/project/pyc8y) package) - re-envisioned and reimplemented for asyncio. **The `c8y_api` module is considered deprecated for new solutions** and will only receive essential updates for continuous support of already existing production code.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

Before installing the module (or any module for that matter) consider creating
a virtual environment for your project. This is generally preferred over 
installing modules and dependencies globally:

```shell
cd <project-root>
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```

### Installation from PyPI

The recommended way is to install the lastest distribution package directly from the Python Package Index (PyPI).
You can either add _c8y_api_ as a dependency to your project using _setup.cfg_, or install it manually:

```shell
pip install c8y_api
```

### Installation using pip

Releases are also archived within the GitHub releases page. The module is released as standard Python wheel (_.whl_ file).
It can be downloaded and installed using pip using the following command:

```shell
pip install <release wheel file>
```

Like installing from PyPI, this will install all necessary dependencies automatically.  For your
reference, the module's dependencies are also listed in file _requirements.txt_.
 
### Manual installation

Alternatively, you can clone the repository. The module sources can be used directly within your Python 3 project.
Simply copy the _c8y_api_ folder to your sources root and install the requirements by running the following command:

```shell
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

The _requirements.txt_ file is part of the sources.

If the _c8y_api_ folder is in your sources root folder all imports should
work right away. Alternatively you can add _c8y_api_ to your _PYHTONPATH_:

```shell
export PYTHONPATH=<project-root>/c8y_api; $PYTHONPATH
```
