MOT History API Python SDK

The SDK provides convenient access to the MOT History API for applications written in the Python programming language.

Requirements

Python 2.7 and later.

Setup

You can install this package by using the pip tool and installing:

pip install mot-history-api-py-sdk

## OR ##

easy_install mot-history-api-py-sdk

Install from source with:

python setup.py install --user

## or `sudo python setup.py install` to install the package for all users

Tests

Export environment variables:

export MOT_CLIENT_ID=
export MOT_CLIENT_SECRET=
export MOT_API_KEY=

Now, you can execute this command: python3 -m test

Unset the environment variables after completing the tests:

unset MOT_CLIENT_ID && unset MOT_CLIENT_SECRET && unset MOT_API_KEY

Developers/Engineers can run tests in two scenarios:

• With real credentials: They set the environment variables, and the tests use the live API connection.

• Without credentials: The tests run using a mock client, allowing basic functionality checks without a live API connection.

The flexibility supports real integration testing and quick, credential-free checks during development.
