optimihost API

An easy to use Python wrapper for the OptimiHost API.

Installing

To install with pip:

pip install optimihost

Exploring the API

In addition to the documentation you can explore the interface in an interactive Python interpreter using built-ins like dir() and the __doc__ attribute as shown below.

from optimihost import Connect

api = Connect('<api_key>')

[i for i in dir(api.client.servers) if not i.startswith('_')]
# ['account', 'backups', 'databases', 'files', 'get_server', 'get_server_utilization', 'list_permissions', 'list_servers', 'network', 'schedules', 'send_console_command', 'send_power_action', 'servers', 'settings', 'startup', 'users']
[i for i in dir(api.client.servers.settings) if not i.startswith('_')]
# ['reinstall_server', 'rename_server']
print(api.client.servers.settings.rename_server.__doc__)
# Renames the server.
#        Args:
#            server_id(str): Server identifier (abbreviated UUID)
#            name(str): New name for the server

Client API

The Client API or Account API is accessed by users of the Pterodactyl panel. Below is the layout of the Client API namespace.

api.client.account
api.client.servers
api.client.servers.backups
api.client.servers.databases
api.client.servers.files
api.client.servers.network
api.client.servers.schedules
api.client.servers.settings
api.client.servers.startup
api.client.servers.users

A full list of methods available can be found in the [documentation][docs].

Below are examples of how you might get information about your servers.

from optimihost import Connect

# Create a client to connect to the panel and authenticate with your API key.
api = Connect('MySuperSecretApiKey')

# Get a list of all servers the user has access to
my_servers = api.client.servers.list_servers()
# Get the unique identifier for the first server.
srv_id = my_servers[0]['attributes']['identifier']

# Check the utilization of the server
srv_utilization = api.client.servers.get_server_utilization(srv_id)
print(srv_utilization)

# Turn the server on.
api.client.servers.send_power_action(srv_id, 'start')
