We are sunsetting our SDKs and will no longer add new features, security patches, bug fixes, or technical support for them. To access the latest capabilities and ongoing improvements, we encourage you to migrate to our RESTful API.SDK support will officially end on December 31, 2026. On this date, the underlying endpoints used by the SDKs and related documentation will be decommissioned.To avoid any disruption to your services, please ensure your migration is complete by that date.For migration assistance, please contact us at support@bigdata.com.
Bigdata.com provides two Python SDKs: You can log in either with a username and password or with an API key. First of all, we recommend to create a file with environment variables to specify your credentials.
The username and password are the same you use to log in to the Bigdata App.
import os
from bigdata_client import Bigdata

# Initialize the Bigdata API
username = os.environ.get("BIGDATA_USERNAME")
password = os.environ.get("BIGDATA_PASSWORD")
bigdata = Bigdata(username, password)
The default constructor of Bigdata will read the environment variables and use them to authenticate. API keys take precedence over the username and password.
