# Fetch customers with filtering
customers = client.get_records("customers", params={"$filter": "status eq 'active'"})
```

## API Reference

### Dynite Class

The main client class for interacting with Business Central OData API.

#### Constructor

```python
Dynite(
    base_url: str,
    auth: tuple[str, str],
    timeout: int = 30,
    retries: int = 3
)
```

**Parameters:**
- `base_url` (str): The base URL for the Business Central OData API endpoint. Must be a valid HTTPS URL.
- `auth` (tuple[str, str]): Authentication credentials as (username, password) tuple for basic authentication.
- `timeout` (int, optional): Request timeout in seconds. Defaults to 30 seconds.
- `retries` (int, optional): Number of retry attempts for failed requests. Defaults to 3.

**Raises:**
- `InvalidURLError`: If the provided base_url is not a valid URL.

**Example:**
```python
client = Dynite(
    base_url="https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/your-tenant-id/api/v2.0",
    auth=("your-username", "your-password"),
    timeout=60,
    retries=5
)
```

#### Methods

##### `get_records(endpoint: str, params: dict[str, str] | None = None) -> list[dict[str, Any]]`

Retrieves all records from the specified API endpoint with automatic pagination.

This method handles OData pagination transparently, following `@odata.nextLink` until all records are retrieved. It first fetches the record count to provide progress information.

**Parameters:**
- `endpoint` (str): The API endpoint path (e.g., "companies", "customers", "salesOrders"). Leading slashes are automatically handled.
- `params` (dict[str, str], optional): OData query parameters for filtering, sorting, expanding, etc.

**Returns:**
- `list[dict[str, Any]]`: List of records as dictionaries, where each dictionary represents one entity with all its fields.

**Raises:**
- `InvalidResponseError`: If the API returns invalid JSON or unexpected response format.
- `FailedRequestError`: If the HTTP request fails after all retry attempts.

**Examples:**

```python
# Basic usage
companies = client.get_records("companies")

# With filtering
active_customers = client.get_records("customers", {
    "$filter": "status eq 'active'",
    "$orderby": "name",
    "$top": "100"
})

# With expansion (related entities)
sales_orders = client.get_records("salesOrders", {
    "$expand": "customer,salesOrderLines",
    "$filter": "status eq 'open'"
})
```

## Advanced Usage

### Query Parameters

Dynite supports all standard OData query parameters:

```python
# Filtering
params = {"$filter": "amount gt 1000 and date gt 2024-01-01"}

# Sorting
params = {"$orderby": "createdDate desc, amount asc"}

# Selecting specific fields
params = {"$select": "id,name,email,status"}

# Expanding related entities
params = {"$expand": "customer,salesOrderLines"}

# Pagination (handled automatically, but can be limited)
params = {"$top": "500"}

# Combining parameters
params = {
    "$filter": "status eq 'active'",
    "$orderby": "name",
    "$select": "id,name,email",
    "$expand": "contact",
    "$top": "1000"
}

records = client.get_records("customers", params=params)
```

### Error Handling

Dynite provides a comprehensive exception hierarchy for different error scenarios:

```python
from dynite.exceptions import (
    DyniteError,           # Base exception for all Dynite errors
    InvalidURLError,       # Invalid base URL provided
    InvalidResponseError,  # Malformed API response
    FailedRequestError     # HTTP request failure
)

try:
    records = client.get_records("companies")
    print(f"Retrieved {len(records)} companies")

except InvalidURLError as e:
    print(f"Invalid API URL: {e}")
    # Check your base_url configuration

except FailedRequestError as e:
    print(f"Request failed: {e}")
    # Check network connectivity, credentials, or API availability

except InvalidResponseError as e:
    print(f"Invalid API response: {e}")
    # API returned unexpected data format

except DyniteError as e:
    print(f"Dynite error: {e}")
    # Catch-all for any Dynite-related error
```

### Logging

Dynite uses Python's standard logging module. Configure logging to monitor API interactions:

```python
import logging

# Basic logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# Detailed logging with timestamps
logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
)

# File logging
logging.basicConfig(
    filename='dynite.log',
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format='%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
)

# Create logger and set level
logger = logging.getLogger('dynite')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
```

### Environment Variables

Configure the client using environment variables for better security:

```bash
export BUSINESS_CENTRAL_URL="https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/your-tenant-id/api/v2.0"
export BUSINESS_CENTRAL_USER="your_username"
export BUSINESS_CENTRAL_PASSWORD="your_password"
```

```python
import os
from dynite import Dynite

client = Dynite(
    base_url=os.getenv("BUSINESS_CENTRAL_URL"),
    auth=(os.getenv("BUSINESS_CENTRAL_USER"), os.getenv("BUSINESS_CENTRAL_PASSWORD"))
)
```

### Custom Session Configuration

For advanced use cases, you can modify the client's session:

```python
from dynite import Dynite
import requests

client = Dynite(base_url="...", auth=("user", "pass"))

# Add custom headers
client.session.headers.update({
    "User-Agent": "MyApp/1.0",
    "X-Custom-Header": "value"
})

# Configure proxies
client.session.proxies = {
    "https": "https://proxy.company.com:8080"
}

# Add custom authentication
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
client.session.auth = HTTPBasicAuth("user", "pass")
```

## Configuration Options

### Timeout Settings

```python
# Short timeout for fast networks
client = Dynite(base_url="...", auth=("user", "pass"), timeout=10)

# Long timeout for slow networks
client = Dynite(base_url="...", auth=("user", "pass"), timeout=120)
```

### Retry Configuration

```python
# Aggressive retries for unreliable networks
client = Dynite(base_url="...", auth=("user", "pass"), retries=10)

# No retries for debugging
client = Dynite(base_url="...", auth=("user", "pass"), retries=0)
```

## Business Central API Integration

### Authentication

Dynite uses Basic Authentication with Business Central. Ensure your user account has appropriate permissions:

1. **Web Service Access Key**: Generate a web service access key in Business Central
2. **User Permissions**: Assign appropriate permissions to the user account
3. **Company Access**: Ensure the user has access to the required companies

### Common Endpoints

```python
# Company management
companies = client.get_records("companies")

# Customer management
customers = client.get_records("customers")
customer_details = client.get_records("customers", params={"$expand": "customerFinancialDetails"})

# Vendor management
vendors = client.get_records("vendors")

# Item management
items = client.get_records("items")
item_variants = client.get_records("itemVariants")

# Sales orders
sales_orders = client.get_records("salesOrders", params={"$expand": "salesOrderLines"})

# Purchase orders
purchase_orders = client.get_records("purchaseOrders")

# General ledger entries
gl_entries = client.get_records("generalLedgerEntries")

# Dimensions
dimensions = client.get_records("dimensions")
```

### Working with Large Datasets

Dynite automatically handles pagination, but you can optimize performance:

```python
# Process records in batches to manage memory
all_customers = []
page_size = 1000

# Note: $top limits the total results, not page size
customers = client.get_records("customers", params={"$top": str(page_size)})

# Process in chunks
for i in range(0, len(customers), 100):
    batch = customers[i:i+100]
    # Process batch
    process_customer_batch(batch)
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Authentication Errors

**Problem:** `FailedRequestError: 401 Unauthorized`

**Solutions:**
- Verify username and password
- Check if web service access key is valid
- Ensure user has API permissions
- Confirm the account isn't locked

#### Invalid URL Errors

**Problem:** `InvalidURLError: Invalid URL`

**Solutions:**
- Verify the base URL format
- Ensure HTTPS is used
- Check tenant ID is correct
- Confirm the URL ends with the API version

#### Timeout Errors

**Problem:** `FailedRequestError: Request timed out`

**Solutions:**
- Increase timeout value: `Dynite(..., timeout=60)`
- Check network connectivity
- Verify Business Central service availability
- Consider API rate limiting

#### Large Dataset Issues

**Problem:** Memory errors with large result sets

**Solutions:**
- Use `$top` parameter to limit results
- Process records in batches
- Use `$select` to retrieve only needed fields
- Implement pagination manually if needed

### Debug Mode

Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting:

```python
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logger = logging.getLogger('dynite')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# This will show:
# - URL construction
# - Request/response details
# - Pagination progress
# - Error details
```

### Network Debugging

For network-level issues:

```python
import requests
import logging

# Enable requests logging
logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
```
