Authentication

The authentication system for the Geometry Backend API is based on ticket objects and JWT tokens, which are handled by the ShapeDiver Platform. You can obtain tickets and JWT tokens by:

• using your account on the ShapeDiver Platform (tickets only), or

• you can obtain them programmatically using the ShapeDiver Platform API (both tickets and JWT tokens).

An SDK for the ShapeDiver Platform API will be released soon.

When obtaining a ticket for your model from the ShapeDiver Platform, please be aware that you will need a ticket for backend access, since you are accessing the Geometry Backend API from an arbitrary client application that is not a web browser. For more details see the ShapeDiver Help Center developer settings

Base URL

The base URL to use depends on which ShapeDiver Geometry Backend System your model was uploaded to. You can find the base URL in your model’s dashboard on the ShapeDiver Platform, it is also called the model view url.

Usage - Ticket only

from shapediver.geometry_api_v2 import SdClient, Configuration, SessionApi

def init_session():
    # Please see above on how to obtain a ticket
    ticket = "8b23fae66cf535719a9ec797e390208b2003e3cfc894b7624ada2f6894515f8836a4-66303337623538322d34386"

    # Initialize the SDK client instance by providing the base URL
    client = SdClient(Configuration("https://sdeuc1.eu-central-1.shapediver.com"))

    # Initialize a new session using the ticket.
    res = SessionApi(client).create_session_by_ticket(ticket)
    print(res)

Usage - Ticket and JWT

It is possible to configure your ShapeDiver models such that JWT tokens are required to communicate with them, which provides a strong authorisation mechanism. In this case you will need to use the ShapeDiver Platform API to obtain a JWT token for your model on demand.:

from shapediver.geometry_api_v2 import SdClient, Configuration, SessionApi

def init_session():
    # Please see above on how to obtain a ticket and a JWT
    jwt = "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6Ikp1c3QgYSB0ZXN0IiwiaWF0IjoxNjE4OTExMjcxLCJleHAiOjE2MTg5MTQ4OTcsImp0aSI6IjYzMjA3ODE3LWJiNWQtNDY3Zi04NzRkLWM4N2EyYzAxYmZlZCJ9.S5Ps_Fx5p6aJxdBOJMBKgpf2SIlp--6kkIZU55tiqEg"
    ticket = "8b23fae66cf535719a9ec797e390208b2003e3cfc894b7624ada2f6894515f8836a4-66303337623538322d34386"

    # Initialize the SDK client instance by providing the base URL
    client = SdClient(
        Configuration("https://sdeuc1.eu-central-1.shapediver.com", access_token=jwt)
    )

    # Initialize a new session using the ticket.
    res = SessionApi(client).create_session_by_ticket(ticket)
    print(res)

Examples

Examples on how to interact with available endpoints are given in the tests folder.
