A list of UCS@school Kelvin REST API server versions which introduce breaking changes can be found in the UCS@school Kelvin REST API Documentation.

Usage

The Session context manager opens and closes a HTTP session:

>>> import asyncio
>>> from ucsschool.kelvin.client import Session, User, UserResource
>>>
>>> async def get_user(username: str) -> User:
...     async with Session(
...         "USERNAME",
...         "PASSWORD",
...         "master.ucs.local",
...         verify="ucs-root-ca.crt"
...     ) as session:
...         return await UserResource(session=session).get(name=username)
...
>>> obj = asyncio.run(get_user("demo_student"))
>>>
>>> print(obj)
User('name'='test_user', dn='uid=test_user,cn=schueler,cn=users,ou=DEMOSCHOOL,dc=example,dc=com')
>>> print(obj.firstname, obj.lastname)
Test User

There are more examples in the docs usage section.

For HTTPS to work, the SSL CA of the target system (UCS Master) must either be publicly signed, installed on the client system or available as file (as in the example above). If the SSL CA certificate is not available verify=False. Obviously that is not safe! The CA of any UCS server can always be downloaded from http://FQDN.OF.UCS/ucs-root-ca.crt.
