Geographic Data¶

from htk.constants import (

all_states = US_STATES

    TIME_1_MINUTE_SECONDS, TIME_1_HOUR_SECONDS, TIME_1_DAY_SECONDS,
    ISOWEEKDAY_MONDAY, ISOWEEKDAY_WEEKDAYS, ISOWEEKDAY_WEEKENDS
)

# Use for delays and timeouts
timeout = 2 * TIME_1_HOUR_SECONDS  # 7200 seconds

# Check if weekday
if isoweekday in ISOWEEKDAY_WEEKDAYS:
    print("Weekday")

HTTP Status Codes¶

from htk.constants import HTTPStatus

# Access HTTP status codes
if response.status == HTTPStatus.OK:
    # response is 200
    pass

    HTK_DEFAULT_COUNTRY, HTK_HANDLE_MAX_LENGTH
)

HTK_DEFAULT_DOMAIN = 'hacktoolkit.com'
HTK_SITE_NAME = 'Hacktoolkit'
HTK_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE = 'America/Los_Angeles'
HTK_DEFAULT_COUNTRY = 'US'
HTK_HANDLE_MAX_LENGTH = 64
