Usage

There are async versions of all of the exported methods. For cases where you pass in a custom AsyncHttpClient, simply call the procedures as normal. For cases when using the default HttpClient, the call is postfixed with Async (eg: getLicenseList() is getLicenseListAsync()).

• Retrieving a list of all licenses, as a table keyed by license ID:

import spdx_licenses

# You can also pass in your own custom `HttpClient` instance if you have one you wish to re-use
let licenses = getLicenseList()

echo "Found licenses: "

for lic in licenses.keys:
  echo "- ", lic

• Getting the license text for a specific license by license ID:

import spdx_licenses

# You can also pass in your own custom `HttpClient` instance if you have one you wish to re-use
let licenseText = getLicenseText("BSD-3-Clause")

echo licenseText
