ACE-X Client

Synchronous Python client for the ACE-X backend.

Installation

pip install acex-client

Quick start

from acex_client import Acex

with Acex(base_url="https://acex.local") as client:
    result = client.inventory.sites.query(name="stockholm")
    for site in result:
        print(site.id, site.name)

Auth is auto-detected from /auth/config. Override via env vars:

ACEX_BASE_URL — backend URL
ACEX_ISSUER_URL, ACEX_CLIENT_ID, ACEX_CLIENT_SECRET — OIDC override
ACEX_VERIFY_SSL=false — disable TLS verification

or inject an AuthProvider directly:

from acex_client.auth import ClientCredentialsAuth

auth = ClientCredentialsAuth(client_id="...", client_secret="...", issuer_url="...", verify_ssl=True)
with Acex(base_url="...", auth=auth) as client:
    ...

Namespaces

Namespace	Resources / actions
`client.inventory`	`sites`, `regions`, `region_assignments`, `contacts`, `contact_assignments`, `assets`, `asset_clusters`, `collection_agents`, `credentials`, `logical_nodes`, `management_connections`, `node_instances`, `node_credentials(node_id)`, `site_credentials(site_name)`
`client.observability`	`agents` (with bound `outputs`, `rules`, `nodes`), `grafana`
`client.operations`	`compliance` (`.check()`, `.site()`), `config_history.list_changes()`, `lldp` (`.upload()`, `.topology()`, `.by_site()`, `.get()`, `.reverse()`)
`client.config_components`	`catalog()`, `generate()`, `reconcile()`, `drivers()`, `translate()`
`client.neds`	`list()`, `get()`, `download()`
`client.ai`	`ask()`, `analyze()` (SSE-streamed) — `None` if backend has no `ai_ops` mounted
`client.system`	`auth_config()`, `health_node()`, `health_site()`

CRUD pattern

Each resource inherits the mixins for the verbs it supports. All mutations return a LiveInstance proxy that holds the Pydantic model; .save() diffs against the original and PATCHes only changed fields, .delete() removes the resource:

site = client.inventory.sites.create(name="stockholm", city="SE")
site.display_name = "Stockholm HQ"
site.save()  # PATCH /inventory/sites/{id} with {display_name: ...}
site.delete()  # DELETE /inventory/sites/{id}

get, update, create, delete all raise AcexNotFoundError on HTTP 404 rather than returning None — wrap in try/except for "if exists" flows.

Actions and sub-resources

Action methods use @action(method, path_template):

client.inventory.collection_agents.manifest(id=1)
client.inventory.collection_agents.ack(id=1, payload=CollectionAgentAck(config_revision=5))

Bound sub-resources are accessed via .parent_or_id:

client.inventory.collection_agents.rules(1).create(region="eu")
client.observability.agents.outputs(agent_id).list()

Via a LiveInstance, the bound sub-resource is exposed as an attribute:

agent = client.observability.agents.get(1)
agent.outputs.create(influxdb_version="v2", url="http://influx:8086")

Errors

from acex_client import (
    AcexNotFoundError,
    AcexValidationError,
    AcexAuthError,
    AcexPermissionError,
    AcexServerError,
    AcexTimeoutError,
    AcexConnectionError,
)

All errors inherit from AcexError. HTTP errors carry status_code and body attributes.
