Getting started

Prerequisites

• Python 2.7, or 3.6 or later is required to use this package.
• You must have an Azure subscription and a Purview to use this package.

Create a Purview Resource

Follow these instructions to create your Purview resource

Install the package

Install the Azure Purview Account client library for Python with pip:

pip install azure-purview-administration

Authenticate the client

To use an Azure Active Directory (AAD) token credential, provide an instance of the desired credential type obtained from the azure-identity library.

To authenticate with AAD, you must first pip install azure-identity and enable AAD authentication on your Purview resource

After setup, you can choose which type of credential from azure.identity to use. As an example, DefaultAzureCredential can be used to authenticate the client:

Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

Use the returned token credential to authenticate the client:

from azure.purview.administration.account import PurviewAccountClient
from azure.purview.administration.metadatapolicies import PurviewMetadataPoliciesClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
endpoint = "https://<my-account-name>.purview.azure.com"
account_client = PurviewAccountClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)
metadatapolicy_client = PurviewMetadataPoliciesClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)

Key concepts

Client

The package contains two kinds of client: PurviewAccountClient and PurviewMetadataPoliciesClient. You could use them with one package according to your requirements.

Examples

The following section shows you how to initialize and authenticate your client, then list all of your keys.

• Get Keys

Get Keys

from azure.purview.administration.account import PurviewAccountClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = PurviewAccountClient(endpoint="https://<my-account-name>.purview.azure.com", credential=credential)
response = client.accounts.get_access_keys()
print(response)

The following section shows you how to initialize and authenticate your client, then list all of your roles.

• List_Roles

List Roles

from azure.purview.administration.metadatapolicies import PurviewMetadataPoliciesClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = PurviewMetadataPoliciesClient(endpoint="https://<my-account-name>.purview.azure.com", credential=credential)
response = client.metadata_roles.list()
result = [item for item in response]
print(result)

Troubleshooting

General

The Purview client will raise exceptions if status code of your responses is not defined.

Logging

This library uses the standard logging library for logging. Basic information about HTTP sessions (URLs, headers, etc.) is logged at INFO level.

Detailed DEBUG level logging, including request/response bodies and unredacted headers, can be enabled on a client with the logging_enable keyword argument:

import sys
import logging
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.purview.administration.account import PurviewAccountClient

# Create a logger for the 'azure' SDK
logger = logging.getLogger('azure')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# Configure a console output
handler = logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout)
logger.addHandler(handler)

endpoint = "https://<my-account-name>.purview.azure.com"
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

# This client will log detailed information about its HTTP sessions, at DEBUG level
client = PurviewAccountClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential, logging_enable=True)

Similarly, logging_enable can enable detailed logging for a single call, even when it isn't enabled for the client:

result = client.accounts.get_access_keys(logging_enable=True)
