# Integrate Mergin

Mergin is an open platform that aims to be developer friendly, and it has been designed to allow easy integration with other software.

# Python client

# Installation

The easiest way to use Mergin programmatically is to use the Python client module. It is available in the PyPI repository and so it can be installed with pip:

pip3 install mergin-client

# Python module

A quick code example to download a project:

from mergin import MerginClient

mc = MerginClient(login='john', password='pass')
mc.download_project('john/project1', '/home/john/mergin/project1')

You can of course also get project status, push/pull changes, create/delete projects and more.

The source code of the Python client is available on GitHub in lutraconsulting/mergin-py-client (opens new window) repository.

# Command line interface

For those who prefer using terminal, there is mergin command line tool shipped with the Python client. With several built-in commands, it is possible to download Mergin projects, push/pull changes, create or delete projects and more.

For example, to download a Mergin project to a local folder:

mergin download john/project1 ~/mergin/project1

Please see lutraconsulting/mergin-py-client (opens new window) repository for more information on the usage.
