class Service(url, token=None, auth=None, retries=None, session_class=None)[source]

The default Descartes Labs HTTP Service used to communicate with its servers.

This service has a default timeout and retry policy that retries HTTP requests depending on the timeout and HTTP status code that was returned. This is based on the requests timeouts and the urllib3 retry object.

The default timeouts are set to 9.5 seconds for establishing a connection (slightly larger than a multiple of 3, which is the TCP default packet retransmission window), and 30 seconds for reading a response.

The default retry logic retries up to 3 times total, a maximum of 2 for establishing a connection, 2 for reading a response, and 2 for unexpected HTTP status codes. The backoff_factor is a random number between 1 and 3, but will never be more than 2 minutes. The unexpected HTTP status codes that will be retried are 500, 502, 503, and 504 for any of the HTTP requests. Note that 429s are retried automatically according to their retry-after headers without us specifying anything here (see the source for urllib3.util.Retry as the API documentation doesn’t make this clear).

Parameters:
  • url (str) – The URL prefix to use for communication with the Descartes Labs server.
  • token (str, optional) – Deprecated.
  • auth (Auth, optional) – A Descartes Labs Auth instance. If not provided, a default one will be instantiated.
  • retries (int or urllib3.util.retry.Retry) – If a number, it’s the number of retries that will be attempled. If a urllib3.util.retry.Retry instance, it will determine the retry behavior. If not provided, the default retry policy as described above will be used.
  • session_class (class) – The session class to use when instantiating the session. This must be a derived class from Session. If not provided, the default session class is used. You can register a default session class with Service.set_default_session_class().
Raises:

TypeError – If you try to use a session class that is not derived from Session.

Methods:

class JsonApiService(url, session_class=None, rewrite_errors=False, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: descarteslabs.client.services.service.service.Service

A JsonApi oriented default Descateslabs Labs HTTP Service.

For details see the Service. This service adheres to the JsonApi standard and interprets responses as needed.

This service uses the JsonApiSession which provides some optional functionality.

Parameters:
  • url (str) – The URL prefix to use for communication with the Descartes Labs servers.
  • session_class (class) – The session class to use when instantiating the session. This must be a derived class from JsonApiSession. If not provided, the default session class is used. You can register a default session class with JsonApiService.set_default_session_class().

A JsonApi collection has the following structure:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "type": "...",
            "id": "...",  // Optional

Raises:

ValueError – If the number of elements in attributes_list differs from the number of elements in ids_list.

static jsonapi_document(type, attributes, id=None)[source]

Return a JsonApi document with a single resource.

A JsonApi document has the following structure:

{
    "data": {

Returns:

A dictionary representing the JsonApi document with data as the top-level key, which itself contains a single resource.

Return type:

dict

classmethod set_default_session_class(session_class)[source]

Set the default session class for JsonApiService.

Type:str
class ThirdPartyService(url='', session_class=None)[source]

The default Descartes Labs HTTP Service used for 3rd party servers.

This service has a default timeout and retry policy that retries HTTP requests depending on the timeout and HTTP status code that was returned. This is based on the requests timeouts and the urllib3 retry object.

The default timeouts are set to 9.5 seconds for establishing a connection (slightly larger than a multiple of 3, which is the TCP default packet retransmission window), and 30 seconds for reading a response.

The default retry logic retries up to 10 times total, a maximum of 2 for establishing a connection. The backoff_factor is a random number between 1 and 3, but will never be more than 2 minutes. The unexpected HTTP status codes that will be retried are 429, 500, 502, 503, and 504 for any of the HTTP requests. Here we specify 429s explicitly (unlike for the Service class) because we have no guarantee that third party services are consistent about providing a retry-after header.

Parameters:
  • url (str) – The URL prefix to use for communication with the 3rd party server.
  • session_class (class) – The session class to use when instantiating the session. This must be a derived class from Session. If not provided, the default session class is used. You can register a default session class with ThirdPartyService.set_default_session_class().
Raises:

TypeError – If you try to use a session class that is not derived from Session.

Methods:

get_default_session_class() Get the default session class for the ThirdPartyService.
set_default_session_class([session_class]) Set the default session class for ThirdPartyService.
classmethod get_default_session_class()[source]

Get the default session class for the ThirdPartyService.

Returns:The default session class, which is Session itself or a derived class from Session.
Return type:Session
classmethod set_default_session_class(session_class=None)[source]

Set the default session class for ThirdPartyService.

The default session is used for any ThirdPartyService() that is instantiated without specifying the session class.

Parameters:session_class (class) – The session class to use when instantiating the session. This must be the class Session itself or a derived class from Session.
class Session(base_url='', timeout=None, retries=None)[source]

The HTTP Session that performs the actual HTTP request.

This is the base session that is used for all Descartes Labs HTTP calls which itself is derived from requests.Session.

You cannot control its instantiation, but you can derive from this class and pass it as the class to use when you instantiate a Service or register it as the default session class using set_default_session_class().

Notes

Session is not thread safe due to the Adapter and the connection pool which it uses. Instead, you should ensure that each thread is using it’s own session instead of trying to share one.

Parameters:
  • base_url (str) – The URL prefix to use for communication with the Descartes Labs servers.
  • timeout (int or tuple(int, int)) –

    See requests timeouts.

Methods:

initialize() Initialize the Session instance
request(method, url[, headers]) Sends an HTTP request and emits Descartes Labs specific errors.
initialize()[source]
