dalux-build 1.1.0

Python client for the Dalux Build REST API

Dalux Build API – Python Client

A lightweight Python client for the Dalux Build REST API.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or later
• requests ≥ 2.28

Installation

pip install dalux-build

Getting Started

from dalux_build import create_client

dalux = create_client(
    base_url="https://<your-company>.dalux.com/api",
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)

The returned DaluxClient object exposes one attribute per API resource group (see API Reference below).

Examples

List all projects

projects = dalux.projects.list_projects()
print(projects)

Get a specific project

project = dalux.projects.get_project("my-project-id")
print(project)

List tasks on a project

tasks = dalux.tasks.get_project_tasks(
    "my-project-id",
    params={"updatedAfter": "2024-01-01"},
)
print(tasks)

Upload a file (chunked)

# 1. Create an upload slot
upload = dalux.file_upload.create_upload(
    "my-project-id", "my-file-area-id",
    {"fileName": "drawing.pdf", "mimeType": "application/pdf"},
)
upload_guid = upload["uploadGuid"]

# 2. Upload the file content
with open("drawing.pdf", "rb") as f:
    dalux.file_upload.upload_file_part(
        "my-project-id", "my-file-area-id", upload_guid, f.read()
    )

# 3. Finalize
result = dalux.file_upload.finish_upload(
    "my-project-id", "my-file-area-id", upload_guid,
    {"folderId": "target-folder-id"},
)
print("New file ID:", result["fileId"])

Authentication

Every request automatically includes the X-API-KEY header with the API key supplied to create_client. No additional configuration is required.

API keys are managed in the Dalux Build UI under Settings › Integrations › API Identities. Contact [e-mail] to activate API access for your company profile.

Error Handling

All methods raise requests.HTTPError on 4xx / 5xx responses:

import requests

try:
    project = dalux.projects.get_project("unknown-id")
except requests.HTTPError as exc:
    print(exc.response.status_code, exc.response.json())
