ubersmith-api 1.0.2

Version-specific Python 3 wrapper for the Ubersmith API

Python Ubersmith

A fully-featured API wrapper for the Ubersmith API

Python wrappers exist on PyPI and across GitHub for interacting with the Ubersmith API, but each of them fails to provide full compatibility.

In comes ubersmith-api...

Overview

At its core, this package provides a generic API wrapper class, UbersmithClient which allows for uncontrolled calls to an Ubersmith instance.

Built atop this wrapper, a templating suite is available for generating classes for each API section in Ubersmith, specific to each Ubersmith version to maximize compatibility.

Installation

# PyPi Installation
pip install ubersmith-api
# GitHub Installation
pip install git+'https://github.com/bnassif/ubersmith-api.git'

Getting Started

Instantiating the Base Client

from ubersmith import *

config = UbersmithConfig(
    host='target-hostname-or-address',
    username='username-to-use',
    password='api-token-for-user',
)

client = UbersmithClient(config)

Making Calls

response_obj = client.request(
    'uber.method_get',
    data={
        'method_name': 'client.get',
    },
    #raw=True,
)

By default, the request() method will parse the response from the API, checking for HTTP error codes, as well as error messages from Ubersmith itself. If no errors are found, the returned data field is returned.

Alternatively, you can parse raw=True to return the requests.Response object for manual parsing and error checking.

Shipped Methods

The UbersmithClient class comes with three (3) core methods shipped.
These offer a simplified entrypoint to gathering parsed information of an Ubersmith system.

# Get system information: calls `uber.system_info`
sys_info = client.system_info()

# Get all available methods: calls `uber.method_list`
all_methods = client.method_list()

# Get details of one method: calls `uber.method_get`
method_details = client.method_get('client.get')

Future Compatibility

NOTE:

Additional code is shipped in this repository, along with version-specific schemas for the Ubersmith API.
These features will be enabled in later releases of the package.
