TM1py Samples is a great starting point to get up to speed with TM1py. It contains 60+ ready-to-use TM1py scripts such as:
- load TM1 data into pandas for statistical analysis
- load FX, Stock and GDP data from external sources into your cubes
- synchronize cubes from different TM1 instances
- clean your TM1 models through regular expressions
- generate MDX Queries from existing cube views
- analyse Processing Feeders time
- maintain dimensions and subsets with python
- ...
All scripts are split into four categories:
- Aministration: All tasks related to TM1 administration such as sessions, transaction logs...
- Data: Data operation such as getting data out of a view or writing data back to TM1
- Metadata: All operations related to TM1 objects such as creating a new dimension, deleting a view...
- Samples: Groups more advanced scripts such as getting data from web services
- TM1 (10.2.2 FP 5 or higher)

To run a script from a command line, download the TM1py-samples repository, navigate to the script folder and then just use the command python script_name.py. Python scripts can also be run from TM1 processes.
