Project description

aciClient

A python wrapper to the Cisco ACI REST-API.

Python Version

We support Python 3.6 and up. Python 2 is not supported and there is no plan to add support for it.

Installation

pip install aciClient

Installation for Developing

git clone https://github.com/netcloud/aciclient.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py develop

Usage

Initialisation

Username/password

import aciClient
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

aciclient = aciClient.ACI(apic_hostname, apic_username, apic_password, refresh=False)
try:
    aciclient.login()
    
    aciclient.getJson(uri)
    aciclient.postJson(config)
    aciclient.deleteMo(dn)
    
    aciclient.logout()
except Exception as e:
    logger.exception("Stack Trace")
    

For automatic authentication token refresh you can set refresh to True

aciclient = aciClient.ACI(apic_hostname, apic_username, apic_password, refresh=True)    

Certificate/signature

import aciClient
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

aciclient = aciClient.ACICert(apic_hostname, path_to_privatekey_file, certificate_dn)

try:
    aciclient.getJson(uri)
    aciclient.postJson(config)
    aciclient.deleteMo(dn)
except Exception as e:
    logger.exception("Stack Trace")

Examples

get config

tenants = aciclient.getJson('class/fvTenant.json?order-by=fvTenant.dn|asc')

for mo in tenants:
    print(f'tenant DN: {mo["fvTenant"]["attributes"]["dn"]}')

post config

config = {
 "fvTenant": {
  "attributes": {
   "dn": "uni/tn-XYZ"
  }
 }
}
