[SOLVED] Python Api : Importing multiple data is not allowed

Ubidots API
1

I see https://github.com/ubidots/ubidots-python.

and I executed the following code.

all_values = new_variable.get_values ​​( ) #all data
print( "all_values : ", all_values)
some_values = new_variable.get_values ​​(5) #all data
print( "some_values : ", some_values)
last_values = new_variable.get_values ​​(1) #all data
print( "all_values : ", last_value)

but, all result is same.

all_values :  [{'timestamp': 1522393068283, 'created_at': 1522393068431, 'context': {}, 'value': 1.0}]
some_values :  [{'timestamp': 1522393068283, 'created_at': 1522393068431, 'context': {}, 'value': 1.0}]
last_value :  [{'timestamp': 1522393068283, 'created_at': 1522393068431, 'context': {}, 'value': 1.0}]

Is the document wrong?

Greetings dear user, we plan to update in the short term our python library as it is right now outdated, so we strongly advise to our users to use directly the requests python library to implement their routines that fit ur REST API.

Attached you can find an example to retrieve data from Ubidots.

All the best

You mean you don’t support ‘Ubidots Python API Client(https://github.com/ubidots/ubidots-python)’ anymore?
Or is it going to fix some bugs?

Hello @Spencer,

As my colleague Jose mentioned above, by the moment the Ubidots Python library is outdated, but we plan to update it in the short term. Since the library was created the platform have been made a lot of changes, and the structure of the library is not the most suitable to talk with the Ubidots API, that’s why we decided to deprecate it, and update it in a few months.

For this reason, we highly recommend to work with the Request Python Library. You can reference to this guide and check the examples provided using request.

All the best,
Maria C.

Hi,
What is the status of the Python API? Is it in the process of being updated?
Also, the API webpage (https://ubidots.com/docs/api) has been down for some time – are you planning to bring it back online?

Thank you.

Greetings, answering your questions:

  • What is the status of the Python API? Is it in the process of being updated?

We advise to our users to use the python requests library to send or retrieve data due to the simplicity of its usage, you can reference several examples using it with Ubidots at our docs. Our Python SDK is planned to be updated, but we do not have an ETA to do that.

The url that you are trying to access was replaced by just https://ubidots.com/docs in our last website update. BTW, the ubidots.com/docs/api url should redirect to ubidots.com/docs, so I have passed the report to our devOps team, thanks for the feedback.

All the best
