Quickstart - Document Collections

This page guides you through quickly getting started with document collections.

Pre-requisite

Let's assume your

  • Tenant name is nemo@nautilus.com and
  • User password is xxxxxx.

SDK download

  pyC8 requires Python 3.5+. Python 3.6 or higher is recommended

To install pyC8, simply run

$ pip3 install pyC8

or, if you prefer to use conda:

conda install -c conda-forge pyC8

or pipenv:

pipenv install --pre pyC8

Once the installation process is finished, you can begin developing applications in Python.

Code Sample

  from c8 import C8Client
import pprint
