Python Examples

Recommended Installation

For python, we use 3.8.5, but any later 3+ version will probably work.

Create a virtualenv:

Python

pip install venv
python3 -m venv eeg_venv
# activate the venv according to your OS
# Windows example:
. ./eeg_venv/scripts/Activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

api.py

This file provides a function to make Petal Metrics API calls.

api_standalone.py

This script contains an example of a Petal Metrics API call without connecting to any active LSL streams. You will need a valid developer API key to access.

python api_standalone.py -k $API_KEY

api_lsl_call_loop.py

This script demonstrates how to receive an LSL stream and call the Petal API in an endless loop. You will need a valid developer API key to access.

python api_lsl_call_loop.py -n SimulatedEEGStream -k $API_KEY
