🌐 Minimal FastAPI webserver

Create a python file called app.py

import json, threading, requests
from datetime import date
from fastapi import FastAPI, Query, HTTPException
from ewii import EwiiClient

KEEP_ALIVE_TIMER = 30
stop = threading.Event()
client = EwiiClient(requests.Session())

def keep_alive(evt):
    while not evt.wait(KEEP_ALIVE_TIMER):
        try:
            client._keep_alive()
            print("keep-alive")
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)

app = FastAPI(title="EWII API")

@app.on_event("startup")
def start():
    threading.Thread(target=keep_alive, args=(stop,), daemon=True).start()

@app.on_event("shutdown")
def done():
    stop.set()

@app.get("/consumption")
def consumption(meter_id: str, date_from: date, date_to: date):
    try:
        return client.get_consumption(date_from.isoformat(),
                                      date_to.isoformat(),
                                      meter_id)
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(502, str(e))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import uvicorn

    uvicorn.run("app:app", host="127.0.0.1", port=8000, reload=True)

Open http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs for interactive Swagger UI. The background thread pings EWII every 5 minutes so the session stays alive.
