Install the Python Package

    $ pip install python-brink

Using the API

1. Login to the api to receive a jwt token that can be used in future requests without the need to reauthenticate

    from brink.client import BrinkAPI
    from brink.exceptions import BrinkAPIException

    api = BrinkAPI()

    try:
       # Login to the api via username and password
       access = api.login( 'username', 'password' )

    except BrinkApiException, e:

       # Login error
       exit()

    jwt_token = access['jwt_token']

    # After logging in using the api.login() method, the token is already set so additional
    # requests can be handled correctly
    flights = api.getFlights()

2. If you already have a jwt token prepared, you can use it when creating the api instance and bypass logging in.

    from brink.client import BrinkAPI

    token='eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGc...'
    api = BrinkAPI(token)

    # Get flights
    flights = api.getFlights()

    # Get details for a specific flights
    flight = api.getFlight(10)

    # Get data points for a specific flight
    params = { 'page': 1, 'per_page': 50 }
    flight_data = api.getFlightData(10,params)
