Kelvin API Client (Python) Overview¶
The Kelvin SDK includes several specialized libraries but does not expose every feature available on the Kelvin Platform.
The Kelvin API Client (Python) provides a unified Python interface for accessing all platform endpoints through standard Python scripts.
Note
There is also a builtin KelvinApp method for accessing the Kelvin API endpoints.
You can read all the documentation on this method in the Develop Kelvin SmartApps™ page here.
Installation¶
The Kelvin API Client (Python) can be installed separately or with the full Kelvin SDK package.
Note
When you install the kelvin-sdk library, it will also install the kelvin-python-api-client for Python programming.
Install the API client library.
