intersight-rest

Cisco has released their new Intersight platform for managing UCS Server and Hyperflex Hyperconverged infrastructure from a SaaS based interface. With high security standards, forming and signing the RESTful API calls to Intersight can be a challenge, so this package was written to do all of that work for you. All you need to provide is your Public/Private keys generated from the Intersight interface, as well at the API endpoint you'd like to target. Optionally you can add in query parameters for GET requests, and a body for POST/PATCH opterations.

Overview:

intersight_call(**options);

The HTTP verbs will be assumed as follows:

• GET: <resource_path>
• GET: <resource_path> + <query_params>
• POST: <resource_path> + <body>
• PATCH: <resource_path> + <body> + <moid>

More information about Intersight is available at: https://intersight.com
Details on the RESTful API and documentation: https://intersight.com/apidocs

NPM Installation:

$ pip install intersight-rest

Usage:

# Import "intersight.rest" Package
import intersight_rest as isREST

# Import JSON PAckage
import json

# Load Public/Private Keys
isREST.set_private_key(open("./keys/private_key.pem", "r") .read())
isREST.set_public_key(open("./keys/public_key.txt", "r") .read())

# Select Resource Path from https://www.intersight.com/apidocs
resourcePath = '/ntp/Policies'

# GET EXAMPLE
#-- Set GET Options --#
options = {
    resource_path: resourcePath,
    query_params: queryParams
}

results = isREST.intersight_call(**options)
print(json.dumps(results, indent=4))

#-- NOTE: intersightREST Returns a JS Promise --#

# GET "queryParams" Examples
#-- Example queryParams returning the top 1 result(s) --#
queryParams = {
    "$top": 1
}

#-- Example queryParams showing filter by "Name" key --#
queryParams = {
    "$filter": "Name eq 'Test-NTP'"
}

#-- Example queryParams showing filter by "Description" key --#
queryParams = {
    "$filter": "Description eq 'pool.ntp.org'"

postBody = {
    Name: "Test-NTP",
    Description: "Test NTP Policy",
    NtpServers: ["8.8.8.8"]
}

#-- Set POST Options --#
options = {
    resource_path: resourcePath,
    body: postBody
}

results = isREST.intersight_call(**options)
print(json.dumps(results, indent=4))

#-- NOTE: intersightREST Returns a JS Promise --#

# PATCH EXAMPLE
#-- Set Object MOID to be Modified --#
patchMoid = "6b1727fa686c873463b8163e"

#-- Assemble PATCH Body --#
patchBody = {
    NtpServers: ["10.10.10.10"]
}

#-- Set PATCH Options --#
options = {
    resource_path: resourcePath,
    body: patchBody,
    moid: patchMoid
}
