## MOT History API Python SDK
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/mot-history-api-py-sdk)
The SDK provides convenient access to the [MOT History API](https://documentation.history.mot.api.gov.uk/) for applications written in the Python programming language.
### Requirements
Python 2.7 and later.
### Setup
You can install this package by using the pip tool and installing:
```python
pip install mot-history-api-py-sdk
## OR ##
easy_install mot-history-api-py-sdk
```
Install from source with:
```python
python setup.py install --user
## or `sudo python setup.py install` to install the package for all users
```
### Tests
Export environment variables:
```sh
export MOT_CLIENT_ID=
export MOT_CLIENT_SECRET=
export MOT_API_KEY=
```
Now, you can execute this command: `python3 -m test`
Unset the environment variables after completing the tests:
```sh
unset MOT_CLIENT_ID && unset MOT_CLIENT_SECRET && unset MOT_API_KEY
```
Developers/Engineers can run tests in two scenarios:
+ **With real credentials**: They set the environment variables, and the tests use the live API connection.
+ **Without credentials**: The tests run using a mock client, allowing basic functionality checks without a live API connection.
The flexibility supports real integration testing and quick, credential-free checks during development.
### Setting up a MOT History API
You can use this support form to request an [API Key](https://documentation.history.mot.api.gov.uk/mot-history-api/register).
### Using the MOT History API
You can read the [API documentation](https://documentation.history.mot.api.gov.uk/) to understand what's possible with the MOT History API. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to [contact the DVSA](https://documentation.history.mot.api.gov.uk/mot-history-api/support).
