An API Client for the Polarion REST API
Project description
polarion-rest-api-client
A client library for accessing Polarion REST API. This project consists of multiple layers. There is a high level, still incomplete version of the client and a feature complete low level API client, which was generated using an OpenAPI generator. Therefor the OpenAPI Specification of Polarion was used.
Usage of the High Level Client
The high level client is an abstraction of the fine-grained, auto-generated client. It is non project specific, however, for most operations, you need to create a project specific one from the generic one. All created created project clients share the client session of the generic client. To get started, create a client and check, if the project exists. In the end, to get all Work Items of a project with an empty query, you can simply run the following code and our client will automatically take care of the paging:
import polarion_rest_api_client as polarion_api
client = polarion_api.PolarionClient(
polarion_api_endpoint="http://127.0.0.1/api",
polarion_access_token="PAT123",
)
project_client = client.generate_project_client("PROJ")
project_exists = project_client.exists() # Should be True
work_items = project_client.work_items.get_all()
During the initialization of the client you can define additional settings like the page size when getting items or the maximum content size when bulk creating new items.
In addition, you can define your own Work Item class with custom fields, which become available as attributes on object level instead of being part of the additional_attributes
dictionary only.
To use this feature, inherit from our Work Item class and pass your extended class when requesting Work Items:
import polarion_rest_api_client as polarion_api
import dataclasses
@dataclasses.dataclass
class CustomWorkItem(polarion_api.WorkItem):
capella_uuid: str | None = None
client = polarion_api.PolarionClient(
polarion_api_endpoint="http://127.0.0.1/api",
polarion_access_token="PAT123",
)
project_client = client.generate_project_client("PROJ")
work_items = project_client.work_items.get_all(work_item_cls=CustomWorkItem)
uuid = work_items[0].capella_uuid # the value of the custom field capella_uuid can be accessed this way
Usage of the autogenerated OpenAPI Client
First, create a client:
from polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client import Client
client = Client(base_url="https://api.example.com")
If the endpoints you're going to hit require authentication, use AuthenticatedClient
instead:
from polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client import AuthenticatedClient
client = AuthenticatedClient(base_url="https://api.example.com", token="SuperSecretToken")
Now call your endpoint and use your models:
from polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client.models import MyDataModel
from polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client.api.my_tag import get_my_data_model
from polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client.types import Response
my_data: MyDataModel = get_my_data_model.sync(client=client)
# or if you need more info (e.g. status_code)
response: Response[MyDataModel] = get_my_data_model.sync_detailed(client=client)
Or do the same thing with an async version:
from polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client.models import MyDataModel
from polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client.api.my_tag import get_my_data_model
from polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client.types import Response
my_data: MyDataModel = await get_my_data_model.asyncio(client=client)
response: Response[MyDataModel] = await get_my_data_model.asyncio_detailed(client=client)
By default, when you're calling an HTTPS API it will attempt to verify that SSL is working correctly. Using certificate verification is highly recommended most of the time, but sometimes you may need to authenticate to a server (especially an internal server) using a custom certificate bundle.
client = AuthenticatedClient(
base_url="https://internal_api.example.com",
token="SuperSecretToken",
verify_ssl="/path/to/certificate_bundle.pem",
)
You can also disable certificate validation altogether, but beware that this is a security risk.
client = AuthenticatedClient(
base_url="https://internal_api.example.com",
token="SuperSecretToken",
verify_ssl=False
)
There are more settings on the generated Client
class which let you control more runtime behavior, check out the docstring on that class for more info.
Things to know:
-
Every path/method combo becomes a Python module with four functions:
sync
: Blocking request that returns parsed data (if successful) orNone
sync_detailed
: Blocking request that always returns aRequest
, optionally withparsed
set if the request was successful.asyncio
: Likesync
but async instead of blockingasyncio_detailed
: Likesync_detailed
but async instead of blocking
-
All path/query params, and bodies become method arguments.
-
If your endpoint had any tags on it, the first tag will be used as a module name for the function (my_tag above)
-
Any endpoint which did not have a tag will be in
polarion_rest_api_client.open_api_client.api.default

Installation
You can install the latest released version directly from PyPI (Not yet).
pip install polarion-rest-api-client
To set up a development environment, clone the project and install it into a virtual environment.
git clone https://github.com/DSD-DBS/polarion-rest-api-client
cd polarion-rest-api-client
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate.sh # for Linux / Mac
.venv\Scripts\activate # for Windows
pip install -U pip pre-commit
pip install -e '.[docs,test]'
pre-commit install
Updating the auto generated part
To update the auto generated part of the code, execute the open_api_client_build/build_client.py
script with path
or url
as first
arg and the path to the OpenAPI-Specification as second arg from the project root directory. The publicly available specification
from the Polarion developer Portal was used.
