Getting Started with Verizon

Introduction

The Verizon Edge Discovery Service API can direct your application clients to connect to the optimal service endpoints for your Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) applications for every session. The Edge Discovery Service takes into account the current location of a device, its IP anchor location, current network traffic and other factors to determine which 5G Edge platform a device should connect to.

Note: Documentation for the client can be found here.

The following parameters are configurable for the API Client:

Parameter	Type	Description
environment	Environment	The API environment. Default: Environment.PRODUCTION
http_client_instance	HttpClient	The Http Client passed from the sdk user for making requests
override_http_client_configuration	bool	The value which determines to override properties of the passed Http Client from the sdk user
http_call_back	HttpCallBack	The callback value that is invoked before and after an HTTP call is made to an endpoint
timeout	float	The value to use for connection timeout. Default: 60
max_retries	int	The number of times to retry an endpoint call if it fails. Default: 0
backoff_factor	float	A backoff factor to apply between attempts after the second try. Default: 2
retry_statuses	Array of int	The http statuses on which retry is to be done. Default: [408, 413, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, 521, 522, 524]
retry_methods	Array of string	The http methods on which retry is to be done. Default: ['GET', 'PUT']
thingspace_oauth_credentials	ThingspaceOauthCredentials	The credential object for OAuth 2 Client Credentials Grant
vz_m2m_token_credentials	VZM2mTokenCredentials	The credential object for Custom Header Signature

The API client can be initialized as follows:

client = VerizonClient(
    thingspace_oauth_credentials=ThingspaceOauthCredentials(
        oauth_client_id='OAuthClientId',
        oauth_client_secret='OAuthClientSecret',
        oauth_scopes=[
            OauthScopeThingspaceOauthEnum.DISCOVERYREAD,
            OauthScopeThingspaceOauthEnum.SERVICEPROFILEREAD
        ]
    ),
    vz_m2m_token_credentials=VZM2mTokenCredentials()
)

API calls return an ApiResponse object that includes the following fields:

Field	Description
status_code	Status code of the HTTP response
reason_phrase	Reason phrase of the HTTP response
headers	Headers of the HTTP response as a dictionary
text	The body of the HTTP response as a string
request	HTTP request info
errors	Errors, if they exist
body	The deserialized body of the HTTP response

Environments

The SDK can be configured to use a different environment for making API calls. Available environments are:

Fields

Name	Description
Production	Default
