orthanc-api-client 0.4.0

Python Orthanc REST API client

python-orthanc-api-client

A python client to ease using the Orthanc Rest API.

Functionalities are very limited now ! Backward compat will break a lot in the near future !

Installation:

pip3 install orthanc-api-client

Examples:

from orthanc_api_client import OrthancApiClient
import datetime

orthanc_a = OrthancApiClient('http://localhost:8042', user='orthanc', pwd='orthanc')
orthanc_b = OrthancApiClient('http://localhost:8043', user='orthanc', pwd='orthanc')

if not orthanc_a.wait_started(timeout=20):
    print("Orthanc has not started after 20 sec")

if not orthanc_a.is_alive():
    print("Could not connect to Orthanc, check it is running")

# upload files/folders
orthanc_a.upload_folder('/home/o/files', ignore_errors=True)

    instances_ids = orthanc_a.upload(f.read())
    
# list all resources ids

# show some daily stats
orthanc_a.studies.print_daily_stats(from_date=datetime.date(2022, 2, 4), to_date=datetime.date(2022, 2, 8))

# anonymize

    keep_tags=['PatientName'],
    replace_tags={
        'PatientID': 'ANON'
    },
    force=True,
    delete_original=False
)

# find locally in Orthanc
study_id = orthanc_a.studies.lookup(dicom_id='1.2.3.4')
study_id = orthanc_a.studies.lookup(dicom_id='1.2.3.4', filter="Study")

upload a folder to Orthanc

from orthanc_api_client import OrthancApiClient

        # at startup, use the python SDK direct access to the Rest API to retrieve info to pass to the OrthancApiClient that is using 'requests'
        system = json.loads(orthanc.RestApiGet('/system'))
        api_token = orthanc.GenerateRestApiAuthorizationToken()
