Pritunl API Client for Python 3

This is a simple Pritunl API Client written in Python 3.

You need to refer to Pritunl API Documentation to understand how to use this. This API client uses almost the same command as the API Handlers.

Installation

Install the published package using pip from our PyPI project repository.

pip install pritunl-api

Beyond the core API client library, we also added the executable distribution in this project. Add extra cli during the PIP installation to enable the CLI feature.

pip install pritunl-api[cli]

Proceed to the CLI Usage for the complete command options and syntax.

API Usage

Before using the API library including the use of the CLI feature, we need to provide the Pritunl API URL and administrative credentials in our environment variables.

export PRITUNL_BASE_URL="https://vpn.domain.tld/"
export PRITUNL_API_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
export PRITUNL_API_SECRET="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

Initializing an API Instance.

# Import the object
from pritunl_api import Pritunl

# Create an instance
pritunl = Pritunl()

## You can also initialize an instance by manually providing the arguments.
# pritunl = Pritunl(
#   url="<PRITUNL API URL>",
#   token="<PRITUNL API TOKEN>",
#   secret="<PRITUNL API SECRET>"
# )

# Your Pritunl API Client instance is now ready to use!
pritunl.<FEATURE>.<METHOD>

Example

• Example 1:

  (in source) GET /server

  pritunl.server.get()
  

• Example 2:

  (in source) PUT /server/:server_id/organization/:organization_id

  pritunl.server.put(srv_id='', org_id='')
  

• Example 3:

  (in source) DELETE /user/:organization_id/:user_id

  pritunl.user.delete(org_id='', usr_id='')
  

• Example 4:

  (in source) POST /server**

  pritunl.server.post(
    data={
      'name': 'new server name'
    }
  )
  

  • If there is data available, you must pass it through the data parameter.
  • The command above works well because there are templates available for creating a new server.

• Example 5:

  (in source) PUT /user/:organization_id/:user_id

  pritunl.user.put(org_id='', usr_id='',
    data={
      'name': 'modified org name',
      'disabled': True
    }
  )
