Arduino iot-api Python client

Requirements

• Python 3.7+

Installation

You can install the package directly from Github (you may need to run pip with sudo):

pip install arduino-iot-client

Getting Started

Authentication

The client requires a valid access token, you can use requests-oauthlib to get one, to install the library do:

pip install requests-oauthlib

How to get Arduino IoT Cloud Client Credentials

You can generate Arduino IoT Cloud Client Credentials in the ARDUINO API section in the IoT Cloud Integrations section:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

After installing the library you can use this Python code to get a token:

from oauthlib.oauth2 import BackendApplicationClient
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session

oauth_client = BackendApplicationClient(client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID)
token_url = "https://api2.arduino.cc/iot/v1/clients/token"

oauth = OAuth2Session(client=oauth_client)
token = oauth.fetch_token(
    token_url=token_url,
    client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID,
    client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
    include_client_id=True,
    audience="https://api2.arduino.cc/iot",
)

print(token.get("access_token"))

For a working example, see the example folder in this repo.

Once you get a token, you can create an instance of the iot-api client:

import iot_api_client as iot
from iot_api_client.rest import ApiException
from iot_api_client.configuration import Configuration

# configure and instance the API client
client_config = Configuration(host="https://api2.arduino.cc/iot")
client_config.access_token = YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
client = iot.ApiClient(client_config)

# as an example, interact with the devices API
devices_api = iot.DevicesV2Api(client)

try:
    resp = devices_api.devices_v2_list()
    print(resp)
except ApiException as e:
    print("Got an exception: {}".format(e))

For a working example, see the example folder in this repo.
