Getting Data In

Python script to create a new data input?

I have an Add-On which has defined a new data input. Via the UI, I can easily create new instances of the same input .. but I want to create them programmatically, via Python. The inputs.conf.spec file for the app contains:

[strava_api://<name>]
interval =
index =
access_code =
start_time =
reindex_data =

These are the values I am prompted for when using the UI manually ... but, how do I achieve the same result via Python (using python3)? I have the Python SDK installed .. but I just dont know where to start and would appreciate some inspiration from the Community.

Thanks in advance for any comments/tips/solutions 🙂

(For those with a keen eye, the Add-On in question is Strava for Splunk )
