Prerequisites
Install Python on your PC. FIA can use any version from 3.6 upwards.
Install the ‘requests’ and ‘cryptography’ libraries
Download the demo example with data
The example contains two Python files, fia_demo.py and fia.py.
fia_demo.py contains sample code to call FIA
fia.py contains helper functions to simplify calling the API.
The simplest way to get started is with an example.
