kadi-apy 0.39.0

API wrapper library for Kadi4Mat

Kadi-APY

Kadi-APY is a library for use in tandem with Kadi4Mat. The REST-like API of Kadi4Mat makes it possible to programmatically interact with most of the resources that can be used through the web interface by sending suitable HTTP requests to the different endpoints the API provides.

The goal of this library is to make the use of this API as easy as possible. It offers both an object oriented approach to work with the API in Python as well as a command line interface (CLI). The library is written in Python 3 and works under both Linux and Windows.

Quickstart

Installation

The library can be installed using pip:

pip3 install kadi-apy

Note that Python version >=3.8 is required to install the latest version.

Configuration

To connect to an existing Kadi4Mat instance, some further configuration is required, which can be initialized by running:

kadi-apy config create

Simple Python example

Retrieve an existing record by its ID and upload a file to it:

from kadi_apy import KadiManager

manager = KadiManager()

record = manager.record(id=1)
record.upload_file("/path/to/file.txt")

Simple CLI example

Do the same as in the example above:

kadi-apy records add-files -r 1 -n /path/to/file.txt
