Meraki Python SDK
A software development kit (SDK) is a collection of software development tools in one installable package. They
ease creation of applications by having compiler, debugger and perhaps a software framework. They are
normally specific to a hardware platform and operating system combination.

Tetration
API server
Python package kafka-python, a high-level message consumer of Kafka brokers
from kafka import KafkaConsumer

from tetpyclient import RestClient
https://github.com/joelwking/ansible-tetration/blob/master/library/tetration_application.py
TetPyClient is the Tetration Analytics SDK API for Python, which allows
Python developers to use the Tetration REST API (called OpenAPI).
Requests is an elegant and
simple HTTP library for Python,
built for human beings.
Kafka has four core APIs:
producer, consumer,
streams and connector
