XINA API Libraries

We aim to provide a variety of reference XINA API client implementations for different programming languages and environments.

Python

xina_api_python_1.0.0.zip

Installation

Prerequisites

Python 3.8 or greater

The xina client communicates with XINA via the XINA Tunnel utility. You must have it running for the xina client to connect.

Steps

Extract the zip file.
Open a terminal in the root extracted directory, and execute the following commands:
```
python3 install .
```

Examples

Client class

import socket

from xina import XPClient

with socket.socket() as sock:
    sock.settimeout(5.)  # Five seconds is the recommended socket timeout.
    sock.connect(('localhost', 41746))

    with XPClient(sock=sock) as x:
        x.init()
        res = x.act({'action': 'version'})

print(res)
# => {'schema':100, 'host':'sandbox.xina.io', 'server':'9.1.4', 'team':100}

CLI

python -m xina action '{"action":"version"}'
# => {"schema":100,"host":"sandbox.xina.io","server":"9.1.4","team":100}
