Summary
MBPY (ManageBac+ PYthon) is intended for IT Professionals who are looking for a tool to assist with tasks that utilize the ManageBac+ Public API. It consists of the following layers:
- MBPY Endpoints: A client library in Python to the public APIs.

MBPY Core: A command line utility that builds upon MBPY Endpoints and offers two main features:
- mbpy import commands that pulls data and stores it into SQLite database file
- mbpy extract commands that performs actions similar to ETL pipelines, including extraction, transformation, and loading. For example, extract attendance data, shape the data, and load it into another database (or send email).
- MBPY Plugins: Hooks that allow developers to add commands to the Core.
