Python-based Linked Data Notifications libraries

This is an implementation of a python3-based Linked Data Notification sender and consumer.

Installing

pip install py-ldnlib

Adding an LDN sender to your code

A simple LDN Sender could be written as:

import ldnlib

sender = ldnlib.Sender()

inbox = sender.discover(target_resource)

if inbox is not None:
    sender.send(inbox, data)

The data value may be a string, a dictionary, a list or an rdflib-based Graph.

Adding an LDN consumer to your code

A simple LDN Consumer could be written as:

import ldnlib

consumer = ldnlib.Consumer()

inbox = consumer.discover(target_resource)

if inbox is not None:
    for iri in consumer.notifications(inbox):
        // fetch the notification as a Python dictionary
        notification = consumer.notification(iri)

Authentication

If the target-resource or inbox-resource requires authentication, an auth tuple may be supplied:

import ldnlib

sender = ldnlib.Sender()

inbox = sender.discover(target_resource, auth=(username, password))

if inbox is not None:
    sender.send(inbox, data, auth=(username, password))
