DaApi
Used to load the recognition tree and perform lookups of all
properties, or get individual properties. Typical usage is as
follows:
>>> deviceAtlas = DaApi()
>>> path = 'data_file/sample.json'
>>> tree = mobi.mtld.da.getTreeFromFile(path)
>>> properties = mobi.mtld.da.getProperties(tree, "Nokia6680...")
>>> property = mobi.mtld.da.getProperty(tree, "Nokia6680...", "displayWidth")
Note that you should normally use the user-agent that was received in
the device's HTTP request. In a BaseHTTPServer environment, you would do
this as follows:
>>> userAgent = self.headers['user-agent']
>>> displayWidth = mobi.mtld.da.getPropertyAsInteger(tree, userAgent,
>>> "displayWidth")
Third-party Browsers:
In some contexts, the user-agent you want to recognise may have been
provided in a different header. Opera's mobile browser, for example,
makes requests via an HTTP proxy, which rewrites the headers. in that
case, the original device's user-agent is in the
"X-OperaMini-Phone-UA" header, and the following code could be
used:
>>> operaHeader = "X-OperaMini-Phone-UA"
>>> if operaHeader in request.headers:
>>> userAgent = self.headers[operaHeader]
>>> else:
>>> userAgent = self.headers['user-agent']
>>> displayWidth = mobi.mtld.da.getPropertyAsInteger(tree, userAgent,
>>> "displayWidth")

Client side properties:
Client side properties can be collected and merged into the results by
using the DeviceAtlas Javascript detection file. The results from the
client side are sent to the server inside a cookie. The contents of this
cookie can be passed to the DeviceAtlas getProperty and getProperties
methods. The client side properties over-ride any data file properties
and also serve as an input into additional logic to determine other
properties such as the iPhone models that are otherwise not detectable.
The following code shows how this can be done in BaseHTTPServer:
>>> userAgent = self.headers['user-agent']
>>> cookieContents =
>>> properties = mobi.mtld.da.getPropertiesAsTyped(tree, userAgent,
>>> cookieContents)
Deprecated:
Please use the new interface with DeviceApi instead.

getTreeFromFile(filename,
includeChangeableUserAgentProperties=True)
Static Method
|
|
Return a tree from a JSON file. The loaded tree is stored in a static
cache to avoid multiple reloads if this method is repeatedly called. To
reload from the JSON file set "reload" to true.
Some properties cannot be known before runtime and can change from
user-agent to user-agent. The most common of these are the OS Version and
the Browser Version. This API is able to dynamically detect these
changing properties but introduces a small overhead to do so. To disable
returning these extra properties set
"includeChangeableUserAgentProperties" to false.
- Parameters:
filename - is the location of the file to read in. Use an absolute path name
to be sure of success if the current working directory is not
clear.includeChangeableUserAgentProperties - is to detect changeable user-agent properties.
Deprecated:
Please use DeviceApi.load_data_from_file() instead.
|
getTreeFromString(json,
includeChangeableUserAgentProperties=True)
Static Method
|
|
Return a loaded JSON tree from a string of JSON data.
Some properties cannot be known before runtime and can change from
user-agent to user-agent. The most common of these are the OS Version and
the Browser Version. This API is able to dynamically detect these
changing properties but introduces a small overhead to do so. To disable
returning these extra properties set
"includeChangeableUserAgentProperties" to false.
This method does not use the built in static cache.
- Parameters:
json - is the string of json data.includeChangeableUserAgentProperties - Also detect changeable user-agent properties.
Deprecated:
Please use DeviceApi.load_data_from_string() instead.
|
getTreeGeneration(tree)
Static Method
|
|
Get the generation date for this tree.
- Parameters:
tree - is a dict object with the tree. It returns the date and time the
tree was generated.
Deprecated:
Please use DeviceApi.get_data_creation_timestamp() instead.
|
getTreeGenerationAsTimestamp(tree)
Static Method
|
|
Get the generation date for this tree as a UNIX timestamp.
- Parameters:
tree - is a dict object with the tree. It returns a timestamp the tree
was generated.
Deprecated:
Please use DeviceApi.get_data_creation_timestamp() instead.
|
getTreeRevision(tree)
Static Method
|
|
Return the revision number of the tree.
Deprecated:
Please use DeviceApi.get_data_revision() instead.
|
listProperties(tree)
Static Method
|
|
Return an associative array of all property names available for all
user agents in this tree, with their data type names.
Deprecated:
Please use DeviceApi.get_property_names() instead.
|
getProperties(tree,
userAgent,
cookie=None,
typedValues=False,
sought=None,
uaPropsNeeded=True)
Static Method
|
|
Return a associative array of known properties merged with properties
from the client side JavaScript. The client side JavaScript sets a cookie
with collected properties. The contents of this cookie must be passed to
this method for it to work. The client properties over-ride any
properties discovered from the main JSON data file.
- Parameters:
tree - is the previously generated associative array tree.userAgent - is the device's User-Agent header string.cookie - is the content of the cookie containing the client side
properties.typedValues - whether values in the results are typed.sought - is a set of properties to return values for.uaPropsNeeded - whether the extra properties from the UA String are needed.
Deprecated:
Please use DeviceApi.get_properties() instead.
|

userAgent,
cookie=None)
Static Method
|
|

from the client side JavaScript. The client side JavaScript sets a cookie
with collected properties. The contents of this cookie must be passed to
this method for it to work. The client properties over-ride any
properties discovered from the main JSON data file.
- Parameters:
tree - is the previously generated associative array tree.userAgent - is the device's User-Agent header string.cookie - is the content of the cookie containing the client side
