AsyncClient

pingthings.timeseries.async_client.AsyncClient ¶

AsyncClient(
    creds: dict[str, str],
    pyo3_client: Client,
    concurrency_limit: Optional[int] = None,
)

Asynchronous representation of the client connection to the timeseries platform.

Advanced user feature

For most customers, using the synchronous client (which will leverage the asynchronous client under the hood) will be sufficient. If you need to leverage the asynchronous functions yourself, this client can be used.

METHOD	DESCRIPTION
`connect`	Connect to the timeseries platform and return an asynchronous client.
`create`	Create a new stream.
`info`	Retrieve information about the server and proxy server the client is connected to.
`list_collections`	Returns a list of collection paths using the `prefix` argument for
`sql_query`	Performs a SQL query on the database metadata and returns a list of
`stream_from_uuid`	Retrieve a stream based on its UUID.
`streams_in_collection`	Search for streams matching given parameters
`streamset_from_uuids`	Return an `AsyncStreamSet` from an iterable of UUIDs.

ATTRIBUTE	DESCRIPTION
`concurrency_limit`	The concurrency limit for background asynchronous operations.

Attributes¶

concurrency_limit `property` `writable` ¶

concurrency_limit

The concurrency limit for background asynchronous operations.

Setting the value overrides the environment variable

If you choose to set a custom concurrency_limit, this will bypass the environment variable PINGTHINGS_CONCURRENCY_LIMIT value.

Functions¶

connect `async` `staticmethod` ¶

connect(
    profile: Optional[str] = None,
    endpoint: Optional[str] = None,
    apikey: Optional[str] = None,
    concurrency_limit: Optional[int] = None,
) -> AsyncClient

Connect to the timeseries platform and return an asynchronous client.

Advanced user feature

For most customers, using the synchronous client (which will leverage the asynchronous client under the hood) will be sufficient. If you need to leverage the asynchronous functions yourself, this function can be useful.

Connecting to the platform for commercial customers

If you are a commercial customer and are using the PingThings JupyterHub/Lab environment to work with the timeseries platform, the relevant connection information has already been added to your session in the form of environment variables. All you need to do to connect to the platform is the following:

import pingthings as pt
async_conn = await pt.timeseries.AsyncClient.connect()

Choosing a concurrency limit

The default concurrency limit is defined in pingthings.timeseries.constants. If the environment variable is not set, it will use this default value. Using a large concurrency limit has the ability to cause large memory consumption, and if the job gets killed, it can also lead to a hard to kill zombie process. Most users will probably be fine with the default concurrency limit, but feel free to explore larger values.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
`profile` ¶	The name of a profile containing the required connection information as found in the user's predictive grid credentials file `${HOME}/.predictivegrid/credentials.yaml`. TYPE: `Optional[str]` DEFAULT: `None`
`endpoint` ¶	The address and port of the cluster to connect to, e.g. `192.168.1.1:4411`, if not set, will look for the environment variable `$BTRDB_ENDPOINTS` TYPE: `Optional[str]` DEFAULT: `None`
`apikey` ¶	The API key used to authenticate requests, if not set, the key is looked up from the environment variable `$BTRDB_API_KEY`. TYPE: `Optional[str]` DEFAULT: `None`
`concurrency_limit` ¶	The maximum number of concurrent database requests to have in flight at any one time, if not set, will be inferred from environment variable `$PINGTHINGS_CONCURRENCY_LIMIT`. TYPE: `Optional[int]` DEFAULT: `None`

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
`AsyncClient`	A timeseries client.

Examples:

Connecting to the timeseries platform as a commercial customer in the PingThings provided JupyterHub/Lab environment This behavior also works if you have the environment variables set, refer to the above docstring for more information.

>>> import pingthings as pt
>>> conn = await pt.timeseries.AsyncClient.connect()

Connecting to the timeseries platform when you know your api key and FQDN endpoint.

>>> import pingthings as pt
>>> my_key = "ABC123"
>>> my_endpoint = "example.com:4411"
>>> conn = await pt.timeseries.AsyncClient.connect(apikey=my_key, endpoint=my_endpoint)

Connecting to the platform when you have a populated ${HOME}/.predictivegrid/credentials.yaml file with profiles.

>>> import pingthings as pt
>>> conn = await pt.timeseries.AsyncClient.connect(profile='my_server')

create `async` ¶

create(
    uuid: UUID,
    collection: str,
    tags: dict[str, str] = {},
    annotations: dict[str, str] = {},
) -> AsyncStream

Create a new stream.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
`uuid` ¶	The UUID for the new stream. TYPE: `UUID`
`collection` ¶	The collection to which the stream belongs. TYPE: `str`
`tags` ¶	Tags associated with the stream. TYPE: `dict[str, str]` DEFAULT: `{}`
`annotations` ¶	Annotations for the stream. TYPE: `dict[str, str]` DEFAULT: `{}`

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
`AsyncStream`	The newly created stream.

info `async` ¶

info() -> dict[Any, Any]

Retrieve information about the server and proxy server the client is connected to.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
`dict[Any, Any]`	A dictionary containing server and proxy server information.

list_collections `async` ¶

list_collections(prefix: Optional[str] = None) -> list[str]

Returns a list of collection paths using the prefix argument for filtering.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
`prefix` ¶	Filter collections that start with the string provided, if none passed, will list all collections. DEFAULT: `None`

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
`list[str]`	All collections that match the provided prefix.

Examples:

Assuming we have the following collections in the platform: foo, bar, foo/baz, bar/baz

>>> conn = pt.connect()
>>> conn.list_collections().sort()
["bar", "bar/baz", "foo", "foo/bar"]

>>> conn.list_collections(prefix="foo")
["foo", "foo/bar"]

[]

sql_query `async` ¶

sql_query(
    query: str, params: Optional[list[str]] = None
) -> list[Any]

Performs a SQL query on the database metadata and returns a list of dictionaries from the resulting cursor.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
`query` ¶	A SQL statement to be executed on the BTrDB metadata. Available columns in the `stream` table are noted below. To sanitize inputs use a `$1` style parameter such as `select * from streams where name = $1 or name = $2`. TYPE: `str`
`params` ¶	A list of parameter values to be sanitized and interpolated into the SQL statement. Using parameters forces value/type checking and is considered a best practice at the very least. TYPE: `Optional[list[str]]` DEFAULT: `None`

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
`list[Any]`	The result of the SQL query.

Available columns in the stream table

column_name	data_type
uuid	uuid
collection	character varying

previous_count_last_updated	timestamp with time zone
watched	boolean

stream_from_uuid ¶

stream_from_uuid(uuid: UUID | str) -> AsyncStream

Retrieve a stream based on its UUID.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
`uuid` ¶	The UUID of the stream. TYPE: `UUID \| str`

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
`AsyncStream`	The stream associated with the provided UUID.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
`TypeError`	If the provided `uuid` is not a valid UUID

streams_in_collection `async` ¶

streams_in_collection(
