## Installation

You can install this package via pip:

```bash
pip install antivirus-microservice
```

## Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use the Antivirus Microservice client:

```python
from antivirus_microservice import AntivirusMicroservice

antivirus = AntivirusMicroservice('http://localhost:3000')
result = antivirus.check_file('/path/to/your/file.txt')

if result['ok']:
    print("File is clean")
else:
    print(f"File is infected: {result['viruses']}")
```

## API

The `AntivirusMicroservice` class provides the following method:

- `check_file(file_path)`: Scans the provided file for viruses. Returns a dictionary with:
  - `ok`: boolean indicating whether the file is clean (`True`) or infected (`False`)
  - `viruses`: a list of detected virus names (only present if `ok` is `False`)

## Configuration

When initializing the `AntivirusMicroservice` class, you can specify the URL of your Antivirus Microservice server. By default, it uses `http://localhost:3000`.

```python
antivirus = AntivirusMicroservice('http://your-custom-url:port')
```

## Error Handling

The client handles basic errors:
- If there's an error communicating with the server, it returns `{'ok': False, 'viruses': ['Error checking file']}`.
- The specific error message is printed to the console.

## Requirements

- Python 3.6 or higher
- requests library
