Python calling DreamFactory-mounted APIs

To seamlessly call DreamFactory-mounted APIs from your Python scripts. You can use the platform's custom data structures to call DreamFactory-hosted APIs like this:

api = platform['api']
 
url = 'mysql/api/v2/employees?limit=5'
 
result = api.get(url)

This result variable is a Python httplib.HTTPResponse instance. So it would be useful to know what HTTP status code is being returned. You can print it to the log using this statement:

print result.status
