Omnia Timeseries Python API

Python package for interacting with the Omnia Industrial IoT Timeseries API.

How do I get set up?

To use the Python package, install it in the following manner:

pip install git+https://github.com/equinor/omnia-timeseries-python.git@main

For support, create an issue on GitHub.

Example usage

For fundamental questions please refer to the MSAL documentation which has code examples for multiple programming languages and scenarios.

You should also familiarize yourself with the azure.identity package, which we will use below.

Follow usage example to learn how to retrieve data in Json format.
Follow get data as protobuf example to learn how to retrieve data in Protobuf format.

Preparing Azure authentication

Please read https://github.com/equinor/OmniaPlant/wiki/Authentication-&-Authorization to familiarize yourself with how Timeseries API handles authentication and authorization.

We support the following authentication flows:

• Client (service principal) credentials: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/v2-oauth2-client-creds-grant-flow
• User impersonation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/v2-oauth2-on-behalf-of-flow

The supported credential setups are shown below.

With service principal credentials

Read Service-to-service using a shared secret and ensure prerequisite steps have been done.

from azure.identity import ClientSecretCredential
import os
credentials = ClientSecretCredential(
    tenant_id=os.environ['AZURE_TENANT_ID'],
    client_id=os.environ['AZURE_CLIENT_ID'],
    client_secret=os.environ['AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET']
)

With user impersonation

Read Authenticating by user impersonation without any shared secret (For people with Equinor accounts) and ensure prerequisite steps have been done.

For testing user impersonation you can use our public client ids:

• 675bd975-260f-498e-82cd-65f67b34fe7d (test)
• 67da184b-6bde-43fd-a155-30ed4ff162d2 (production)

from azure.identity import DeviceCodeCredential
import os
credentials = DeviceCodeCredential(
    tenant_id=os.environ['AZURE_TENANT_ID'],
    client_id=os.environ['AZURE_CLIENT_ID']
)

During authentication, this will display a URL to visit, and a code to enter. After completing the flow, execution will proceed.

With default credentials (azure cli, MSI and so on)

Read Managed Service Identity (For Equinor applications in Azure) and ensure prerequisite steps have been done.

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
credentials = DefaultAzureCredential()

Output

The Json response from Timeseries API looks like this:

>> {'items': [{'id': 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx', 'datapoints': [{'time': '2021-02-01T09:54:05.4200000Z', 'value': -0.000286102294921875, 'status': 192}]}]}

The Protobuf response from Timeseries API looks like this:

{ "data": [ { "id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx", "totalCount": "1", "fields": [ "time", "value", "status" ], "values": [ { "int64": "1727263834898000000" }, { "double": 246.56092834472656 }, { "uint32": 192 } ] } ] }
