ciscoisesdk is a community developed Python library for working with the Identity Services Engine APIs. Our goal is to make working with Cisco Identity Services Engine in Python a native and natural experience!

The quickest way to check that your credentials and API settings work is to ask ISE for its version and patch level:

from ciscoisesdk import IdentityServicesEngineAPI

api = IdentityServicesEngineAPI(username='admin',
                                password='C1sco12345',
                                uses_api_gateway=True,
                                base_url='https://198.18.133.27',
                                verify=True,
                                uses_csrf_token=False)

print(api.version_and_patch.get_ise_version_and_patch().response)
# {'OperationResult': {'resultValue': [{'value': '3.4.0.608', 'name': 'version'},
#                                      {'value': '3', 'name': 'patch information'}]}}

The same check with certificate-based (mTLS) authentication, available since Cisco ISE 3.3:

api = IdentityServicesEngineAPI(base_url='https://198.18.133.27',
                                uses_api_gateway=True,
                                client_cert='apiuser-cert.pem',
                                client_key='apiuser-key.pem',
                                verify=False,
                                uses_csrf_token=False)

print(api.version_and_patch.get_ise_version_and_patch().response)

A more complete example:

from ciscoisesdk import IdentityServicesEngineAPI
from ciscoisesdk.exceptions import ApiError

# Create a IdentityServicesEngineAPI connection object;
# it uses ISE custom URL, username, and password, with ISE API version 3.3_patch_1
# and its API Gateway enabled,
# verify=True to verify the server's TLS certificate
# with debug logs disabled
# and without using the CSRF token
api = IdentityServicesEngineAPI(username='admin',
                                password='C1sco12345',
                                uses_api_gateway=True,
                                base_url='https://198.18.133.27',
                                version='3.3_patch_1',
                                verify=True,
                                client_cert='/path/to/client.crt',
                                client_key='/path/to/client.key',
                                debug=False,
                                uses_csrf_token=False)
# NOTE: This collection assumes that the ERS APIs and OpenAPIs are enabled.
# For mTLS, you can also set verify to a CA bundle path:
# verify='/path/to/ca-bundle.pem'
# If your ISE is configured for certificate-only API auth, you can omit
# username/password and encoded_auth when using client_cert/client_key.

# Get allowed protocols (first page)
search_result = api.allowed_protocols.get_all().response.SearchResult
if search_result and search_result.resources:
  for resource in search_result.resources:
    resource_detail = api.allowed_protocols.get_by_id(
                        resource.id
