kanboard 1.1.4

Client library for Kanboard

Client library for Kanboard API.

Installation

pip install kanboard

This library is compatible with Python >= 3.5.

Note: Support for Python 2.7 has been dropped since version 1.1.0.

On Fedora (36 and later), you can install the package using DNF:

dnf install python3-kanboard

Examples

Methods and arguments are the same as the JSON-RPC procedures described in the official documentation.

Python methods are dynamically mapped to the API procedures. You must use named arguments.

By default, calls are made synchronously, meaning that they will block the program until completed.

Creating a new team project

import kanboard

kb = kanboard.Client('http://localhost/jsonrpc.php', 'jsonrpc', 'your_api_token')
project_id = kb.create_project(name='My project')

Authenticate as user

import kanboard

kb = kanboard.Client('http://localhost/jsonrpc.php', 'admin', 'secret')
kb.get_my_projects()

Create a new task

import kanboard

kb = kanboard.Client('http://localhost/jsonrpc.php', 'jsonrpc', 'your_api_token')
project_id = kb.create_project(name='My project')
task_id = kb.create_task(project_id=project_id, title='My task title')

Asynchronous I/O

The client also exposes async/await style method calls. Similarly to the synchronous calls (see above), the method names are mapped to the API methods.

To invoke an asynchronous call, the method name must be appended with _async. For example, a synchronous call to create_project can be made asynchronous by calling create_project_async instead.

import asyncio
import kanboard

kb = kanboard.Client('http://localhost/jsonrpc.php', 'jsonrpc', 'your_api_token')

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
project_id = loop.run_until_complete(kb.create_project_async(name='My project'))

import asyncio
import kanboard

async def call_within_function():
    kb = kanboard.Client('http://localhost/jsonrpc.php', 'jsonrpc', 'your_api_token')
    return await kb.create_project_async(name='My project')

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
project_id = loop.run_until_complete(call_within_function())

See the official API documentation for the complete list of methods and arguments.
