Virtualitics Explore Python API (pyVIP)

pyVIP is the Virtualitics Python API for Virtualitics Explore. It runs over a WebSocket connection between Virtualitics Explore (server) and a Python session (client), launched from the API section of the Explore Settings window on a user-chosen port, and authenticated with an API Token generated in the Virtualitics Account Portal (VIP_AUTH_TOKEN), optionally with a client-supplied encryption key (VIP_ENCRYPTION_KEY). Because the server is the user's own Explore instance there is no vendor-hosted base URL.
