Datahub Python SDK

[AcckiyGerman]

Continuing creating datahub SDK (original: #133)

As an admin, I want to have Python SDK so that users can use datahub programmatically

As a user, I want to be able to write up a small code in Python to communicate with the Datahub, so that I'm able to publish or get datasets without manual interaction.

Acceptance Criteria

• Python SDK exists and well docmented
  • Has complete documentation
  • Tutorials, getting started etc...
  • blog Post

• blog Post about Python and JS SDK

• Track downloads of datahub-client and datahub-client.py

Tasks

• Write JS tutorial "Publish/Deploy Data on DataHub [with JS]" => changes @dima
• Define the Common APIs for Python
• Write same tutorial for python => list of requirements for python datahub-client-py (before even library exists)
• Write Python library

Analysis

Define Common APIs

As a programmer I need APIs and docs to be able to:

• Get data
• Post data
• List my datasets
• (optional) Search for datasets

Information sources

• Developers docs: https://docs.datahub.io/developers/api/
• Repositories docs:
  • https://github.com/datahq/auth#api
  • https://github.com/datahq/bitstore#api
  • https://github.com/datahq/specstore#api
  • https://github.com/datahq/metastore#api
• https://github.com/datahq/data-cli code itself

Repository for the python library has been created: https://github.com/datahq/datahub-py
ATM it includes only the readme with specification in it.

On hold:

• The API design is 80-90% finished on @dima's mind
• But the doc takes too much time (the output is in the hackmd).
• and the lib implementation will take even more
• also we'll need to update the server-side API to support the features we want to see here.
