fulcra-api: A Fulcra API client library for Python

The fulcra-api library is currently compatible with Python 3.9 and up.

Installation

Installing in your project

First, install the fulcra-api module in your project.

If you're using Poetry, use:

poetry add fulcra-api

If you're using pip, use:

pip install fulcra-api

Installing in a Jupyter notebook

In a Python cell in your notebook, use:

%pip install fulcra-api

Colaboratory note: You may see a dependency error while installing pyarrow; this can be ignored.

Quick Start

Logging In

Most Fulcra API requests are authenticated with a token, which must be passed along with each request. The Fulcra API uses Auth0's Device Authorization Flow to authorize the code running and get a token.

This library simplifies this flow for you; to log in, create an instance of the FulcraAPI class and call authorize on it:

from fulcra_api.core import FulcraAPI
fulcra = FulcraAPI()
fulcra.authorize()

As part of this flow, you'll be asked to visit a webpage to authenticate to Fulcra. The URL of this page will be included in the output; the library will also attempt to open a new tab to the URL automatically.

As a user, just click "Confirm" once you've logged in; once this succeeds, close the tab.

When this succeeds, the call to authorize() will return, and the fulcra object will now make calls. It will take care of refreshing the token and including it with API calls.

Making API Calls

Once you've called authorize once, any of the calls in the FulcraAPI class will work. Here's an example that will retrieve the calendars from your data store:

calendars = fulcra.calendars()

Examples

You can find some demo notebooks in the Fulcra demos repository.
