Using the CoCore API from Python

To assist Python developers in integrating with the CoCore GraphQL API, here's a comprehensive guide utilizing the gql library.

1. Install the gql Library

Begin by installing the gql library using pip:

bash

pip install gql

2. Initialize the GraphQL Client

Create an instance of the Client class, specifying the GraphQL endpoint and including the necessary authorization headers:

python

from gql import Client
from gql.transport.aiohttp import AIOHTTPTransport

# Define the transport with the endpoint and headers
transport = AIOHTTPTransport(
    url="$MY_COCORE_URL/graphql",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}
)

# Create the GraphQL client
client = Client(transport=transport, fetch_schema_from_transport=True)

3. Define GraphQL Queries

Construct your GraphQL queries or mutations. Here's an example of a query to fetch job information:

python

from gql import gql

# Define the query
query = gql("""
    query GetJob($id: ID!) {
        job(id: $id) {
            id
            name
            quantity
        }
    }
""")

4. Execute Queries and Handle Responses

Execute the query and process the response accordingly:

python

import asyncio

async def fetch_job(job_id):
    # Execute the query with variable binding
    params = {"id": job_id}
    async with client as session:
        try:
            response = await session.execute(query, variable_values=params)
            job = response["data"]["job"]
            print(f"Name: {job['name']}, Quantity: {job['quantity']}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

# Run the asynchronous function
asyncio.run(fetch_job("job-id"))

5. Error Handling

Implement error handling to manage potential issues:

python

async def fetch_job(job_id):
    # Execute the query with variable binding
    params = {"id": job_id}
    async with client as session:
        try:
            response = await session.execute(query, variable_values=params)
            if "errors" in response:
                for error in response["errors"]:
                    print(f"Error: {error['message']}")
            else:
                job = response["data"]["job"]
                print(f"Name: {job['name']}, Quantity: {job['quantity']}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"An exception occurred: {e}")

6. Explore API Documentation

For detailed information on available queries, mutations, and schema definitions, refer to the CoCore API documentation at https://docs.wearecococo.com.

By following these steps, Python developers can effectively integrate with the CoCore GraphQL API using the gql library.
