Example usage

Example usage of FlowClient to run daily location, modal location and flow queries.

import flowclient

Create an access token

Generate an API access token using FlowAuth.

Create an API connection

Paste the access token from FlowAuth here as TOKEN

conn = flowclient.connect(
    url=os.getenv("FLOWAPI_URL", "http://localhost:9090"),
    token=TOKEN,
    ssl_certificate=os.getenv("SSL_CERTIFICATE_FILE"),
)

Daily location

Specify query parameters

query_spec = flowclient.aggregates.spatial_aggregate_spec(
    locations=flowclient.daily_location_spec(
        date="2016-01-01",
        aggregation_unit="admin3",
        method="last",
        subscriber_subset=None,
    )
)

query_spec
{'locations': {'aggregation_unit': 'admin3',
               'date': '2016-01-01',
               'event_types': None,
               'geom_table': None,
               'geom_table_join_column': None,
               'hours': None,
               'mapping_table': None,
               'method': 'last',
               'query_kind': 'daily_location',
               'subscriber_subset': None},
 'query_kind': 'spatial_aggregate'}

Set query running

query_id = flowclient.run_query(connection=conn, query_spec=query_spec)
query_id

8a7f64108b657b89e808c700386e1dc7

Check status of query

flowclient.get_status(connection=conn, query_id=query_id)

executing

Get query result

df = flowclient.get_result_by_query_id(connection=conn, query_id=query_id)
df.head()
pcod value

2 NPL.4.1.1_1 635
3 NPL.1.3.3_1 738
4 NPL.1.1.3_1 6618

Alternative (run query, wait for it to finish, and get result, in one function call):

df = flowclient.get_result(connection=conn, query_spec=query_spec)
df.head()
pcod value
0 NPL.2.3.3_1 364

Specify query parameters

Either explicitly from a set of daily locations:

dl1 = flowclient.daily_location_spec(
    date="2016-01-01",
    aggregation_unit="admin3",
    method="last",
    subscriber_subset=None,
)
dl2 = flowclient.daily_location_spec(
    date="2016-01-02",
    aggregation_unit="admin3",
    method="last",
    subscriber_subset=None,
)
ml = flowclient.modal_location_spec(locations=[dl1, dl2])

    aggregation_unit="admin3",
