Overview
A geospatial analytics company wanted developers to be able to use its platform from Python. We built a software development kit that wraps the platform's APIs for users, groups, accounts and tables, data import and export, queries and reports, with documentation and tests.
What we built
- User, group and account management calls
- Table management: create, delete, import, export, versions and auto-imports
- Query calls with filtering, aggregation, grouping, joining, ordering and paging
- Alert, report, policy and snapshot calls
- Authentication with tokens and passwords, and a base client
- Calls for servers, synced table pairs and replication rules between clusters
- Browser-simulation load testing and diagnostic log export
- SDK documentation, and test cases with continuous fixes
