This is the description how to connect to the LabKey through API:
1. Create a file named ".netrc" in your home directory. This file must include the following three lines:
machine <remote-instance-of-labkey-server>
login <user-email>
password <user-password>
E.g.:
machine labkey.scicore.unibas.ch
login eva.pujadas@unibas.ch
password xxxxx
To secure the file, set permissions in a way that only you can see the content of the file
$ chmod 400 .netrc
2. For running the script labkey_api.py libraries "labkey" and "pandas" are required. Either you install them and run the script with the standard python or you use the module "labkey-api-python/1.1.0-foss-2018b-Python-3.6.6" provided by SciCore. Execute the following command:
python labkey_api.py arg1 arg2
Here, arg1 stands for the project name, arg2 stands for the name of the LabKey table.
