## Installation

Install this module using either `pip` or by installing from source.

```curl
# Via pip
pip install git+https://github.com/muxinc/mux-python.git

# Via source
git checkout https://github.com/muxinc/mux-python.git
cd mux-python
python setup.py install --user
```

## Quickstart

To start, you'll need a Mux access token. Once you've got that, you're off to the races!

```python
import os
import mux_python
from mux_python.rest import ApiException

# Authentication Setup
configuration = mux_python.Configuration()
configuration.username = os.environ['MUX_TOKEN_ID']
configuration.password = os.environ['MUX_TOKEN_SECRET']

# API Client Initialization
assets_api = mux_python.AssetsApi(mux_python.ApiClient(configuration))

# List Assets
print("Listing Assets: \n")
try:
    list_assets_response = assets_api.list_assets()
    for asset in list_assets_response.data:
        print('Asset ID: ' + asset.id)
        print('Status: ' + asset.status)
        print('Duration: ' + str(asset.duration) + "\n")
except ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling AssetsApi->list_assets: %s\n" % e)
```
