FileNotFoundError: The system cannot find the path specified. pureapi schemas

[carlosvega]

To replicate:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/UMNLibraries/pureapi.git

from pureapi import client
from pureapi.client import Config

response = client.get(
    "research-outputs",
    config=Config(base_url=..", key="..")
)

I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for reporting this issue! I was able to replicate it, though I specified a domain instead of a base_url, as described in the Quick Start section of the README.

The proximate cause of this error is that installing via pip excludes the pureapi/schemas directory. We had not noticed this until now, because we always install via poetry, as described in the Installing section of the README. We recommend installing via poetry to avoid this error.

We are also pleasantly surprised to get this feedback. We had seen little if any evidence that anyone was using this code, so we have been working on combining the multiple repositories for our project into one monorepo, including a new Pure API client: https://github.com/UMNLibraries/experts If you are willing, I would like to know more about your interest in this code, and how we might work together. Feel free to contact me at my email address in the pyproject.toml file.
