APIKey

airt.client.APIKey

A class for managing the API keys in the airt service.

Both the API key and the token can be used for accessing the airt services. However, there is a slight difference in generating and managing the two.

For generating the API key, you first need to get the token. Please refer to the documentation of the Client.get_token method for generating one.

Once successfully authenticated, you can create any number of API keys and set an expiration date for each key individually. Also, you can use the other methods available in the APIKey class to list, revoke the keys at any time.

create(name, expiry) staticmethod

Create a new API key in airt service

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
name str

Name for the new API key.

 required
expiry Union[int, datetime.timedelta, datetime.datetime]

The validity for the newly created API key. The expiry can be an integer representing the number of days till expiry or can be an instance of timedelta (timedelta(days=x)) or can be an instance of datetime.

 required

Returns:

Type Description
Dict[str, str]

The access token and the type of the token as a dictionary.

Exceptions:

Type Description
ValueException

If the user is not authenticated.
ConnectionError

If the server address is invalid or not reachable.

A simple example to create a new API key with 1 year validity

    name="sample_key"
    expiry=365
