JWT authorization token generation for custom scripts to change parameters via the api #59

Closed 19173296 closed 3 years ago

Hi, I am currently working on a python program that needs to change the operation mode of TART to 'raw' and then back to ''vis' mode after this program is executed. I see that the API allows TART's mode to be changed,but I don't see a way to generate an API Token. Can you guide me in the right direction to generate a JWT token?

Here is an example that should do the trick. The package tart_tools needs to be installed from pip before using. Let me know if this works.

import argparse

from tart_tools.api_handler import AuthorizedAPIhandler

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Change telescope mode', formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter)
    parser.add_argument('--api', required=False, default='https://tart.elec.ac.nz/signal', help="Telescope API server URL.")
    parser.add_argument('--pw', default='password', type=str, help='API password')
    parser.add_argument('--mode', type=str, required=True, help='New mode (vis/raw)')

    ARGS = parser.parse_args()

    api = AuthorizedAPIhandler(ARGS.api, ARGS.pw)

    resp = api.post_payload_with_token(f"mode/{ARGS.mode}", {})
