Description: The Clearinghouse SDK is a downloadable Python package designed to work with the Clearinghouse APIs. Both Python 3 and Python 2.7 versions of the package are available. The package contains several Python modules, which help simplify the use of the APIs. The modules will create the API URLs, run the requests, and store the response data. The Python modules store API parameters as well as the users API key for easy continued use. Using the 15 separate Clearinghouse APIs is simplified down into a handful of Python methods.
