Das Element Python API

Das Element Python API

Official Python API for the Das Element asset library software.

---

🧩 Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install daselement-api

---

⚙️ Configuration

The API internally calls the command-line interface (CLI) version of Das Element.
To ensure it works correctly, link the CLI executables by setting the following environment variables:

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
DASELEMENT_CLI	Path to Das Element CLI executable
DASELEMENT_CLI_FULL	Path to Das Element CLI full executable

export DASELEMENT_CLI=/path/to/das-element
export DASELEMENT_CLI_FULL=/path/to/das-element-full

Alternative Configuration

You can also hardcode the paths directly in daselement_api/manager.py by modifying these values:

EXECUTABLE_CLI = "path/to/das-element"
EXECUTABLE_CLI_FULL = "path/to/das-element-full"

---

🧠 Example Usage

from daselement_api import api as de

libraries = de.get_libraries()

for library, config in libraries.items():
    print(library)
    print(config)
