UbiCast Miris Manager client

A Python3 client to use UbiCast Miris Manager remote control API.

This client is intended to act as a system in Miris Manager so it allows you to integrate a device in order to control it using Miris Manager.

Requirements

• python >= 3.9 (download the latest stable release from https://www.python.org/downloads/)
• python3-requests >= 2.30

Important

For production use, it is recommended to use the branch named "stable". The "main" branch is used for development.

Client class instantiation

The client class (mm_client.client.MirisManagerClient) takes two arguments:

• local_conf: This argument can be either a dict or a path (str object). The default value is None, which means no configuration.
• setup_logging: This argument must be a boolean. If set to True, the logging to console will be configured. The default value is True.

Configuration

You can see available parameters in the default configuration file : Default configuration

The local configuration should be a json file.

Notes about older client

If you are using the first version of this client (commit 33b554991303b573254d59fb757f601d1e84d132 and previous commits), here are the steps to update your client:

• Install the new client using the setup.py.
• Replace the import path of MirisManagerClient (see example).
• Replace the class variable MirisManagerClient.LOCAL_CONF with the class instance argument MirisManagerClient.local_conf.
• Check the value of MirisManagerClient.DEFAULT_CONF because it is now None by default.
• Replace all occurences of URL by SERVER_URL in all configuration.
• Replace all occurences of CHECK_SSL by VERIFY_SSL in all configuration.

Examples

Ping the server

from mm_client.client import MirisManagerClient
mmc = MirisManagerClient(local_conf='your-conf.json')

response = mmc.api_request('PING')
print(response)

Recorder system

This example is the use case of a recorder system that can be controlled through the long polling.
