# A Python client for Streamlabs Socket API
### Requirements
- A Streamlabs Socket API key.
- You can acquire this by logging into your Streamlabs.com dashboard then `Settings->Api Settings->API Tokens`
### How to install using pip
```
pip install streamlabsio
```
### How to Use
You may store your api key in a `config.toml` file, its contents should resemble:
```toml
[streamlabs]
token = "<apikey>"
```
Place it next to your `__main__.py` file.
#### Otherwise:
You may pass it as a keyword argument.
Example `__main__.py`:
```python
import streamlabsio
def on_twitch_event(event, msg):
print(f"{event}: {msg.attrs()}")
def main():
with streamlabsio.connect(token="<apikey>") as client:
client.obs.on("streamlabs", on_twitch_event)
client.obs.on("twitch_account", on_twitch_event)
# run for 30 seconds then disconnect client from server
client.sio.sleep(30)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
#### note
From the [SocketIO docs](https://python-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client.html#managing-background-tasks), `client.sio.wait()` may be used if your application has nothing to do in the main thread.
### Attributes
For event messages you may inspect the available attributes using `attrs()`.
example:
```python
def on_twitch_event(event, msg):
print(f"{event}: {msg.attrs()}")
```
