LittleBits CloudBit with Python Requests - Part 1 Getting Started

Hi, I found the LittleBits Cloudbit really interesting and did the following screencast showing the few lines of Python code to query the LittleBitsCloud.CC to integrate some programming logic to it.

- Here are the actual outputs that I blurred out in the video (sorry I am a bit new to the screencast software):

$curl -i -XGET -H "Authorization: Bearer <your token>" -H "Accept: application/vnd.littlebits.v2+json" https://api-http.littlebitscloud.cc/devices/<your device ID>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
accept-ranges: bytes
access-control-allow-headers: Authorization, Content-Type, If-None-Match
access-control-allow-methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-expose-headers: WWW-Authenticate, Server-Authorization
access-control-max-age: 86400
cache-control: no-cache

{"label":"<your device name>","id":"<your device id>","user_id":<user id>,"is_connected":true,"ap":{"ssid":"<ssid>","mac":"<mac>","strength":"66","server_id":"<serverid>","socket_id":"<socketid>","status":"<status>"},"subscriptions":[],"subscribers":[],"input_interval_ms":750}$
$
$

- Here is the Python code:

import json
import requests

deviceId = "<deviceID>"
littleBitsUrl = "https://api-http.littlebitscloud.cc/devices/"
authToken = "<token>"

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer "+authToken, "Accept":"application/vnd.littlebits.v2+json"}

r = requests.get(littleBitsUrl+deviceId, headers=headers)
print(r.text)

- Here is the output: 

$python CloudBit_Request.py
{"label":"<your device name>","id":"<your device id>","user_id":<user id>,"is_connected":true,"ap":{"ssid":"<ssid>","mac":"<mac>","strength":"66","server_id":"<serverid>","socket_id":"<socketid>","status":"<status>"},"subscriptions":[],"subscribers":[],"input_interval_ms":750}$
$

Happy coding!
