icegraph-client
Python client and CLI for the IceGraph server API - script access to tables, snapshot history, and the metadata graph.
Install
icegraph-client is only guaranteed compatible with the exact version of the IceGraph server it talks to - pin to that version:
pip install icegraph-client==<version>
CLI
icegraph --base-url http://<icegraph-server-host> tables
icegraph --base-url http://<icegraph-server-host> snapshots <database.table> [--before-snapshot-id ID]
icegraph --base-url http://<icegraph-server-host> metadata <database.table>
icegraph --base-url http://<icegraph-server-host> sparkdesc <database.table>
icegraph --base-url http://<icegraph-server-host> graph <database.table> [--start-snapshot-id ID] [--end-snapshot-id ID]
--base-url also falls back to the ICEGRAPH_BASE_URL environment variable. If your server sits behind a proxy that requires auth, pass --token/--cookie (or ICEGRAPH_TOKEN/ICEGRAPH_COOKIE).
Each command prints its result as JSON on stdout; status messages go to stderr, so output pipes cleanly.
snapshots returns one page, starting from the table's newest snapshots, as {"snapshots": [...], "next_before_snapshot_id": ...}. Pass next_before_snapshot_id as --before-snapshot-id to get the next older page; it is null when no older snapshots remain.
metadata returns the table's latest metadata, plus warnings, which maps a source to a list of messages and is empty when there are none. For example, it warns when the table uses an Iceberg format version other than 2, which IceGraph doesn't fully support yet.
sparkdesc returns Spark's description of any table Spark can resolve, Iceberg or not, as {"spark_schema": {...}, "spark_partitions": [...], "sections": [...], "properties": {...}, "warnings": {...}}. Use it when another command reports that the table is not an Iceberg table.
Python
from icegraph_client import IceGraphClient
client = IceGraphClient("http://<icegraph-server-host>")
client.list_tables()
page = client.get_snapshot_map("database.table")
if page.next_before_snapshot_id is not None: # None when no older snapshots remain
client.get_snapshot_map("database.table", before_snapshot_id=page.next_before_snapshot_id)
client.get_table_metadata("database.table")
client.get_table_description("database.table")
client.get_graph("database.table", start_snapshot_id, end_snapshot_id)
