How to initialize dataex

Installation

This is the quickest and easiest way to install the API. You can then start using the scripts right away.

pip install https://github.com/nzahasan/dataex-client/zipball/master

Creating Dataex Authentication File

It is a script for creating the .dataex_auth.json file. The user is prompted to enter their DataEx account username and password in the terminal after running this command. This file serves as the source of user verification.

Usage

dataex_init.py

Executing this command creates a hidden file which is stored in the user's home directory to be used primarily for authentication. The user must already have a registered dataex account. To avoid failure in this regard, users must create a Dataex user account.

Info

However, not running this command in the beginning will not impede the usage of other scripts. This is possible because auth module will promptly create the authentication file if one is not already present.
