Periodic sync example?

[thytrherfvsefasfd443sf]

I saw this page, but I cannot find example code. Is the following the best way to do periodic sync (continuously displaying current information)? I am wondering if there this library is providing a better way like internally caching and merging the "maindata", so that I don't have to maintain rid and previous values.

rid = 0
us = -1
ds = -1
while True:
    maindata = qbt_client.sync_maindata(rid=rid)
    rid = maindata["rid"]
    ss = maindata["server_state"]

    us = ss.get("up_info_speed", us)
    ds = ss.get("dl_info_speed", ds)
    print(f"Upload: {us}, Download: {ds}")
    time.sleep(2)

oh yeah....the docs don't include the simplest way to use sync data. I should add a better example.

Give this a go:

import time
from collections.abc import Mapping

def update(d, u):
    for k, v in u.items():
        d[k] = update(d.get(k, {}), v) if isinstance(v, Mapping) else v
    return d

maindata = client.sync_maindata()

while True:
    print(f"Upload: {maindata.server_state.up_info_speed}, Download: {maindata.server_state.dl_info_speed}")
    maindata = update(maindata, client.sync.maindata.delta())
    time.sleep(1)

client.sync.maindata.delta() can keep track of the rid for you between subsequent calls.

Although, there isn't anything to keep a full up-to-date maindata....that probably makes sense to add, though. I can probably just add a method to the return object from client.sync_maindata() to sync it.
