﻿# MapLarge REST API Python Client

MapLarge is a platform for analysing and visualizing geospatial data.
The maplargerest Python library enables Python applications to communicate with MapLarge servers via their Rest API.

## Supported Python Versions

The MapLarge REST API Python Client is supported on the latest patch version of Python 3.9 through 3.13, the versions officially supported by the Python Software Foundation. See <https://devguide.python.org/versions/> for more information.

## Development Environment Creation

Developing with the MapLarge Python REST client is as simple as setting up the your development environment, installing the
client library, and being coding.

### 1. Create Virtual Environment

Create a Python environment for building and testing this project.

#### Windows PowerShell

```powershell
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate.ps1
```

#### Windows Command Line

```cmd
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate.bat
```

#### Linux or Mac

```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
```

### 2. Install Dependencies

Install REST client, as awll as any python packages needed for subsequent work.

If you add `maplargerest` to your local `requirements.txt`, you can install everything at once with the standard command:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Alternatively, you can install the REST client alone:

```bash
pip install maplargerest
```

## Using the MapLarge REST client

The python client is built to work against the standard REST API the are building into a MapLarge.Server deployment.  To 
view the documentation for these REST endpoints, simply visit the Swagger endpoint at your local installation:

```text
https://<hostname>/swagger
```
## Usage Example

Typical usage of the REST client starts with setting up a REST client with the proper credentials.

```python
from maplargerest.endpoints import RestClient, items

client = RestClient(
	url="https://my.maplarge.com",
	username="user@example.com",
	password="password")

# Get a list of tables in the 'test' account
tables = items(client.tables.list(account="test"))
```

The same pattern is used for importing data, setting up the OGC catalog, or other administrative tasks:

Importing table data from remote sources:

```python
def clear_progress() -> None:
    """Erase the previous import progress."""
    m['prev_message'] = None


def print_progress(imp: Import) -> None:
    """Display the import progress."""
    if m['prev_message'] != imp.message:
        print(f'\t\t{imp.message}')
        m['prev_message'] = imp.message

"""Create required table """
import_ = client.tables.post(
    account=acct,
    name=tblname,
    body=CreateTableRequest(
        file_url=tblurl,
        options=impopts)
)
clear_progress()
print_progress(import_)
tables = items(client.follow(import_, 
    "result",
    result_type=RestList,
    item_type=TableVersion,
    status_update=print_progress
))
return tables[0]        
```



Adding entries to the OGC catalog:
```python
try:
  # create the entry
  newEntry: CatalogEntry = CatalogEntry()
  newEntry.group = entry['group']
  newEntry.name = entry['name']
  newEntry.active = True
  newEntry.title = entry['title']
  newEntry.description = entry['description']
  newEntry.data_source = entry['dataSource']
  newEntry.source_type = entry['type']
  created = self.create_entry(newEntry)
except Exception as ex:
  print(ex)
```

Adding a series of accounts:

```python
accts = items(client.accounts.list())
for idx, acct in enumerate(req_accts):
    if any(a for a in accts if a.code == acct['name']):
        print("Account exists: ", acct)
    else:
        print("Account does not exist: ", acct)
        name = acct['name']
        descr = acct['description']
        client.accounts.post(
        body=CreateAccountRequest(
            code=name,
            name=name,
            description=descr)
        )
```
