capawesome-cloud

Python SDK for the Capawesome Cloud API.

It provides a fully typed, synchronous interface for managing organizations, apps, live update channels and deployments, native builds, app store destinations, and more.

Note: The Capawesome Cloud API is still in development and may change without notice. Response types intentionally expose only the most relevant properties to minimize breaking changes.

SDKs

Official SDKs for the Capawesome Cloud API:

Installation

pip install capawesome-cloud

Requirements: Python 3.9 or later.

Getting started

Create an API token in the Capawesome Cloud Console and pass it to the client (or set the CAPAWESOME_CLOUD_TOKEN environment variable, with CAPAWESOME_TOKEN accepted as a fallback):

from capawesome_cloud import CapawesomeCloud

client = CapawesomeCloud(token="cap_...")

for app in client.apps.list():
    print(app.id, app.name)

The client holds a connection pool, so reuse a single instance. Use it as a context manager (or call client.close()) to release connections when done:

with CapawesomeCloud(token="cap_...") as client:
    ...

Configuration

Usage

Resources mirror the API's path hierarchy. App-scoped resources are nested under client.apps.*, organization-scoped resources under client.organizations.*; top-level resources are on the client directly (e.g. client.jobs). Every app-scoped method takes app_id as its first argument, every organization-scoped method organization_id.

Organizations

organizations = client.organizations.list()
organization = client.organizations.get(organization_id)
members = client.organizations.members.list(organization_id)

# Invite a new member
client.organizations.invitations.create(
    organization_id, email="jane@example.com", role="member"
)

# Group apps and members in a team
team = client.organizations.teams.create(organization_id, name="Mobile")
client.organizations.teams.apps.create(organization_id, team.id, app_id=app_id)

Apps

apps = client.apps.list()
app = client.apps.get(app_id)
created = client.apps.create(name="My App", type="capacitor")
client.apps.update(app_id, name="Renamed App")
client.apps.delete(app_id)

Live updates

# Create a channel
channel = client.apps.channels.create(app_id, name="production")

# Pause / resume a channel
client.apps.channels.pause(app_id, channel.id)
client.apps.channels.resume(app_id, channel.id)

Deployments

Promote a build to a channel (live updates) or a destination (app store publishing):

# Roll out a live update to half of the devices on a channel
client.apps.deployments.create(
    app_id,
    app_build_id=app_build_id,
    app_channel_name="production",
    rollout_percentage=0.5,
)

# Publish a native build to an app store with localized release notes
client.apps.deployments.create(
    app_id,
    app_build_id=app_build_id,
    app_destination_name="Google Play",
    release_notes={
        "default": "Bug fixes and performance improvements.",
        "de-DE": "Fehlerbehebungen und Leistungsverbesserungen.",
    },
)

Git repositories

Native builds are created from the repository an app is linked to:

connection = client.organizations.git_connections.list_page(organization_id, limit=1)[0]
repositories = client.organizations.git_connections.list_repositories(
    organization_id, connection.id
)

client.apps.repository.set(app_id, git_connection_id=connection.id, path=repositories[0].path)

Native builds

build = client.apps.builds.create(app_id, platform="ios", git_ref="main")

# Poll the job that processes the build until it finishes
job = client.jobs.wait(build.job_id)
print(job.status)

for log in client.jobs.logs(job.id):
    print(log.payload)

# Explain a failure
if job.status == "failed":
    print(client.jobs.get_failure_summary(job.id).summary)

Build artifacts

Binary downloads return bytes:

data = client.apps.builds.artifacts.download(app_id, build_id, artifact_id)
with open("artifact.ipa", "wb") as file:
    file.write(data)

You can also obtain a signed, time-limited download URL:

result = client.apps.builds.artifacts.get_download_url(app_id, build_id, artifact_id)
print(result["url"])

Certificates

file may be a path, raw bytes, or an open binary file object:

import os

certificate = client.apps.certificates.create(
    app_id,
    name="Distribution Certificate",
    platform="ios",
    type="production",
    file="distribution.p12",
    password=os.environ["CERT_PASSWORD"],
)

Environments, secrets & variables

environment = client.apps.environments.create(app_id, name="production")

client.apps.environments.secrets.create(
    app_id,
    environment.id,
    key="API_KEY",
    value=os.environ["API_KEY"],
)

client.apps.environments.variables.create(
    app_id,
    environment.id,
    key="API_URL",
    value="https://api.example.com",
)

Pagination

List methods return an iterator that lazily pages through all results:

for device in client.apps.devices.list(app_id):
    print(device.id, device.app_version_name)

# Collect everything into a list
channels = client.apps.channels.list(app_id).to_list()

To fetch a single page (for manual offset control), use list_page():

page = client.apps.channels.list_page(app_id, limit=20, offset=0)

Responses

Responses are typed Pydantic models. App-scoped models are prefixed with App (AppChannel, AppWebhook, AppBuild, ...) to match the API's entity names. Only the most relevant fields are declared; any additional fields the API returns are still accessible (e.g. via model_dump()) but are not part of the public contract and should not be relied upon.

channel = client.apps.channels.get(app_id, channel_id)
print(channel.name, channel.created_at)   # documented fields
print(channel.model_dump())               # full raw payload, incl. extra fields

Clearing fields

Update methods only send the arguments you pass. To clear a nullable field, pass None; omit the argument to leave it unchanged.

# Pin a device to a channel
client.apps.devices.update(app_id, device_id, forced_app_channel_id="ch_123")

# Unpin it again (sends null)
client.apps.devices.update(app_id, device_id, forced_app_channel_id=None)

Available resources

Error handling

Any non-2xx response is raised as a CapawesomeCloudError, carrying the HTTP status, the message from the API, and the raw body:

from capawesome_cloud import CapawesomeCloud, CapawesomeCloudError

client = CapawesomeCloud(token="cap_...")

try:
    client.apps.get("unknown")
except CapawesomeCloudError as error:
    print(error.status)       # 404
    print(error.status_text)  # "Not Found"
    print(error.message)      # "App not found."
    print(error.body)         # {"message": "App not found."}

Network failures raise APIConnectionError / APITimeoutError, which also derive from CapawesomeCloudError — so a single except CapawesomeCloudError catches every error the SDK can raise. For those, status is None.

Development

Setup

Clone the repository, then create a virtual environment and install the package with its development dependencies:

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Common commands during development:

Testing

Tests are written with pytest and live in the tests/ directory. HTTP is mocked with RESPX, so the suite makes no network calls:

pytest                          # run the suite once
pytest --cov=capawesome_cloud   # run with a coverage report

Publishing

Releases are automated with Release Please, which derives the next version and changelog entries from Conventional Commits.

On every push to main, the Release workflow creates or updates a release pull request that bumps the version and updates CHANGELOG.md. Merging that pull request creates the git tag and GitHub release, and publishes the package to PyPI.
