API Reference¶

This section provides comprehensive documentation for all modules, classes, and functions in the Beehive Photo Metadata Tracker. The documentation is automatically generated from Python docstrings to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Overview¶

The application is organized into several key modules:

Module Dependencies¶

Understanding the relationships between modules:

Common Patterns¶

Error Handling¶

All API modules implement consistent error handling:

try:
    result = api_call()
    return result
except APIException as e:
    logger.error(f"API call failed: {e}")
    return fallback_response()

Data Validation¶

Input validation follows a standard pattern:

def validate_input(data: Dict) -> bool:
    """Validate input data structure."""
    required_fields = ["field1", "field2"]
    return all(field in data for field in required_fields)

Session State Management¶

Consistent session state handling across components:

if 'key' not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state.key = default_value

Contributing to API Documentation¶

The API documentation is automatically generated from Python docstrings using the Google docstring format:

def example_function(param1: str, param2: int = 0) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    """Brief description of the function.

    Longer description providing more detail about the function's
    purpose and behavior.

    Args:
        param1: Description of the first parameter.
        param2: Description of the second parameter with default.

    Returns:
        Dictionary containing the function result.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If param1 is empty.
        APIError: If external service is unavailable.

    Example:
        >>> result = example_function("test", 42)
        >>> print(result["status"])
        "success"
    """
    # Implementation here
    pass
