dfuse GraphQL Python Example

This simple program demonstrates how easy it is to query our GraphQL API over gRPC in Python. It:

• Request a token from our authentication API
• Creates a gRPC connection with credentials
• Instantiates a GraphQL client
• Executes a simple GraphQL query
• Prints the response

You will need to have Python3 (>= 3.4+) as well as virtualenv and pip >= 15.0+.

We use a virtual environment for this example, all dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt at the root of this project.

git clone https://github.com/dfuse-io/example-graphql-python.git
cd example-graphql-python

Setup the virtual environment and pull all dependencies:

./install_deps.sh

Once your environment is setup properly, simply run the example.py script:
