globus-action-provider-tools 0.20.0

Tools to help developers build services that implement the Action Provider specification.

This is an experimental toolkit to help developers build Action Providers for use in Globus Automate including for invocation via Globus Flows.

As this is experimental, no support is implied or provided for any sort of use of this package. It is published for ease of distribution among those planning to use it for its intended, experimental, purpose.

Basic Usage

Install the base toolkit with pip install globus_action_provider_tools

You can then import the toolkit’s standalone components from globus_action_provider_tools. This is useful in instances where you want to use pieces of the library to perform a function (such as token validation via the TokenChecker or API schema validation via the ActionStatus or ActionRequest) and plug into other web frameworks.

from flask import Flask
from globus_action_provider_tools import ActionProviderDescription

description = ActionProviderDescription(
    globus_auth_scope="https://auth.globus.org/scopes/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/action_all",
    title="My Action Provider",
    admin_contact="[e-mail]",
    synchronous=True,
    input_schema={
        "$id": "whattimeisitnow.provider.input.schema.json",
        "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
        "title": "Example Action Provider",
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {"message": {"type": "string"}},
        "required": ["message"],
        "additionalProperties": False,
    },
    api_version="1.0",
    subtitle="Just an example",
    description="",
    keywords=["example", "testing"],
    visible_to=["public"],
    runnable_by=["all_authenticated_users"],
    administered_by=["[e-mail]"],
)

To install the Flask helpers as well for use specifically in developing Flask based Action Providers, install this library using pip install globus_action_provider_tools[flask]
