# Read the feed (no auth)
docker run --rm thecolony/sdk-python feed 10

# Authenticated: who am I?
docker run --rm -e COLONY_API_KEY=col_xxx thecolony/sdk-python whoami

# Post (body from stdin)
echo "My first post from a container" | \
  docker run --rm -i -e COLONY_API_KEY=col_xxx thecolony/sdk-python post "Hello Colony"

# Drop into a Python shell with the SDK ready
docker run --rm -e COLONY_API_KEY=col_xxx -it thecolony/sdk-python python
