hudu-magic 0.1.26

Python client library for the Hudu API

hudu-magic

PyWheels PyPi

A tiny, enum-driven, class-based Python API client for Hudu.

• Minimal dependencies (requests)
• Generated from OpenAPI
• Low Maintenance
• Designed for clarity and maintainability

---

Quick Start

from hudu_magic import HuduClient

client = HuduClient(
    api_key="your_api_key",
    instance_url="https://yourinstance.huducloud.com"
)

company = client.companies.create(name="Test Company")

# Use a real asset_layout_id from your Hudu instance (e.g. from client.asset_layouts.list()).
asset = client.assets.create(
    company_id=company.id,
    name="Router",
    asset_layout_id=1,
)

asset.name = "Updated Router"
asset.save()

asset.delete()

Installation

Install package

pip install hudu-magic

Usage Info and Guide

There are several examples in the examples folder that might be helpful if you're just starting out

Core Concepts

Client

Handles auth, requests, pagination, wrapping.

client.assets.list()

Collections

Collection-level operations:

• list()
• get()
• create()
• delete()
• archive()
• unarchive()

assetsforcompany.save()
assetsforcompany.delete()
assetsforcompany.archive()

Models (HuduObject)

Instance-level operations:

• save()
• delete()
• refresh()
• relate_to()
• list_photos()
• list_uploads()
• relate_to()
• upload_to()

asset.save()
asset.delete()

Special Model Methods

Companies

mycompany.list_assets()
mycompany.list_articles()
mycompany.list_passwords()
mycompany.list_procedures()
mycompany.list_websites()
mycompany.create_website()

---

Creating Objects

The create base method for all objects is simple. you can specify properties in either the payload object (standard dictionary) or as kwargs (just propertyname=value)

This means you can use either:

kwargs (recommended)

client.assets.create(name="Router", company_id=1, asset_layout_id=10)

dict payload

client.assets.create(payload={"name": "Router", "company_id": 1, "asset_layout_id": 10})

---

Updating Objects

asset.name = "New Name"
asset.save()

or

asset.update(name="New Name")

---

Relations

asset.relate_to(website)

or

client.relations.create(from_obj=asset, to_obj=website)

---

Uploads

asset.upload_to("file.zip")

uploads = asset.list_uploads()

Photos

asset.add_photo("image.png")

photos = asset.list_photos()

---

Generating builds for new Hudu versions or previous versions

1. Place openapi spec file https://yoururl.huducloud.com/api-docs.json in project directory as hudu-openapiv1.json

2. run python generate_endpoints.py after sourcing virtual environment (that has dev dependencies installed)

3. run ./build.sh

todo: .\build.ps1

this is designed to be super simple so that subsequent releases can eventually just be automatically generated, tested, validated, and pushed to pypi.

Note on building and tests

• Run tests with ./build.sh --test (or pytest from a dev environment with pip install -e ".[dev]").
• Integration tests are skipped unless you set HUDU_RUN_INTEGRATION=1. With that set, copy testenv.example to testenv and fill in HUDU_TEST_API_KEY and HUDU_TEST_INSTANCE.

Error Handling, Additional Info / Help

If more information is needed, you can call this method on class members to get all associated info from hudu's API spec-

huduobject.help()

For resources such as client.assets, you can call:

client.assets.describe()

or for more verbose info:

client.assets.help()

if an object type or resource doesnt support a method call or payload param, you'll be notified of which one(s), if any, are invalid.

Special Class Methods

Advanced Use Possibilities

Multi-Client

You can instantiate two or more client objects, like above, to transfer data from, say, your dev instance to production. This hasn't been extensively tested expecially for objects dependent on companies (assets, passwordfolders)

client2.assets.create(
    **client1.assets.get(6).to_dict()
)

Philosophy

• Simple > clever
• Explicit > implicit
• Thin wrapper over Hudu API
