how to use the ACI Toolkit session module effectively ?

I just want to know how to use the ACI session module. I am testing subscripting and would really like some very simple examples: such as

here is how to create the session

session = acisession(a,b,c)

here is how to start subscribing

subscribe = session.subscribe()

here is how to specify the class that you want to subscribe

subscribe = session.subscribe('aaaModLR')

made some progress, but I can't seem to get the count to increase, no matter what I do to the static binding. Any idea what's wrong with the code ?

session = acisession.Session(url, uid, pwd)

session.login()

count = session.get_event_count(url)

result = session.subscribe(url=url, only_new=True).json()

if count > 0:

print(result['imdata'][0]['fvRsPathAtt']['attributes']['dn'])

I would try inserting print statement to see value of count and also print the type, as it may be string, that you would need to convert to integer.

print(f'(the count is {count} and it is of type {type(count)}')

You may also need to drill down into the 'session' object and see what else you can work with

print(dir(session))

*I'm assuming you're using Python3
