datamasque-python 1.0.0

Official Python client for the DataMasque data-masking API.

Official Python client for the DataMasque platform.

DataMasque is a data masking platform that replaces sensitive data with realistic but non-production values, so teams can use production-shaped data in non-production environments without exposing PII. This package is a thin Python wrapper around the DataMasque server’s HTTP API, covering connection management, ruleset and ruleset-library CRUD, masking run lifecycle, discovery results, user administration, and license management.

Installation

pip install datamasque-python

Python 3.9 or newer is required.

Quickstart

from datamasque.client import DataMasqueClient
from datamasque.client.models.dm_instance import DataMasqueInstanceConfig

config = DataMasqueInstanceConfig(
    base_url="https://datamasque.example.com",
    username="api_user",
    password="api_password",
)
client = DataMasqueClient(config)
client.authenticate()

for connection in client.list_connections():
    print(connection.name)

Authentication is performed on the first request if authenticate() is not called explicitly, and is automatically retried once on a 401 response. client.healthcheck() is available as a lightweight readiness probe that does not consume credentials.

Error handling

All methods raise subclasses of DataMasqueException on failure:

• DataMasqueApiError — the server responded with a non-2xx status (excluding 502). The triggering Response is available on the .response attribute.

• DataMasqueNotReadyError — the server responded with 502, typically because it is still starting up.

• DataMasqueTransportError — the request failed before any response was received (connection refused, timeout, DNS failure, SSL handshake failure, etc.).

• FailedToStartError / InvalidRulesetError / InvalidLibraryError — raised by start_masking_run when the server rejects the run.

• DataMasqueUserError — raised by user-management methods when the input is invalid.

Documentation

• All classes and functions have docstrings and type hints.

• Compiled docs are hosted at Read the Docs: datamasque-python.

• Documentation for the DataMasque product, including a full API reference, can be found on the DataMasque portal.
