This repository provides a Python Client library for interacting with Infoblox APIs. The library is generated using the OpenAPI Generator project.

The following Infoblox APIs are supported:

Infoblox Cloud

• Infrastructure Management
• Infrastructure Provision (HostActivation API)
• Anycast Configuration Manager
• Upgrade Policy

Infoblox Threat Defense

• Threat Defense Cloud (FW API)
• DNS Forwarding Proxy (DFP API)
• Redirect

Universal DDI

• IP Address Management
• DNS Configuration
• DNS Data
• Keys
• Cloud Discovery Providers
• IPAM Federation

Installation

To install the Universal DDI Python Client, use the following command:

pip install universal-ddi-python-client

Usage

To use the Universal DDI Python Client, you need to import the client and create an instance of the client. For example:

from universal_ddi_client import ApiClient

client = ApiClient()

Additionally , you can also add a custom config to the client. For example:

from universal_ddi_client import Configuration, ApiClient

config = Configuration()

client = ApiClient(config)

Furthermore , you can import the specific API module and use the client to interact with the API. For example:

from dns_config import ViewApi

view_api = ViewApi(client)

Configuration

Client Name

The client name is used to identify the client in the logs. By default, the client name is set to universal-ddi-python-client. You can change this by creating an instance of Configuration and setting the client name. For example:

from universal_ddi_client import Configuration

config = Configuration(
    client_name = "my-client",
)

Server URL

The default URL for the Cloud Services Portal is https://csp.infoblox.com. If you need to change this, you can create an instance of Configuration and set the URL. For example:

from universal_ddi_client import Configuration

config = Configuration(
    portal_url = "https://csp.eu.infoblox.com",
)

You can also set the URL using the environment variable INFOBLOX_PORTAL_URL or BLOXONE_CSP_URL.

Note: BLOXONE_CSP_URL is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. It is recommended to use INFOBLOX_PORTAL_URL instead.

Authorization

An API key is required to access Infoblox API. You can obtain an API key by following the instructions in the guide for Configuring User API Keys.

To use an API key with Infoblox API, you can create a new instance of Configuration . For example:

from universal_ddi_client import Configuration

config = Configuration(
    portal_key = "PORTAL_KEY",
)

Alternatively, You can also set the API key using the environment variable INFOBLOX_PORTAL_KEY or BLOXONE_API_KEY .

Note: BLOXONE_API_KEY is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. It is recommended to use INFOBLOX_PORTAL_KEY instead.

Note: The API key is a secret and should be handled securely. Hardcoding the API key in your code is not recommended.

Default Tags

The Infoblox API supports tagging resources. You can set default tags for all resources created using the client.

To set the Default Tags , you can create a new instance of Configuration to set the tags. For example:

from universal_ddi_client import Configuration

config = Configuration(
    default_tags = {
        "tag1": "value1",
        "tag2": "value2",
    }
)
