Configuring the client¶
To connect with Prevision.io’s Python SDK onto your instance, you need to have your master token. This token can be found either:
by going to the online web interface, in the “Administration & API key” page
by calling:
client.init_client_with_login(prevision_url, email, password)
Then, to use your client credentials, you have 2 options:
set the credentials as environment variables so that they are automatically reloaded when you run your scripts: you need to set
PREVISION_URL
to your instance url (i.e. something of the form:https://<instance_name>.prevision.io
) andPREVISION_MASTER_TOKEN
to the master token you just retrievedset the credentials at the beginning of your script, using the
init_client()
method:import previsionio as pio url = """https://<your instance>.prevision.io""" token = """<your token>""" pio.client.init_client(url, token)
