Work with the Webex APIs in native Python!
Project description
Work with the Webex APIs in native Python!
Welcome to the new webexpythonsdk library! The latest release removes support for Python v2 and is compatible with Python v3.10+. The new Webex Python SDK replaces the previous webexteamssdk; and with the exception of the Python version support and the name change, the two libraries are functionally equivalent. The new library is the recommended choice for new projects, and webexteamssdk users are encouraged to migrate to webexpythonsdk.
webexpythonsdk is a community developed Python library for working with the Webex APIs. Our goal is to make working with Webex in Python a native and natural experience!
from webexpythonsdk import WebexAPI
api = WebexAPI()
# Find all rooms that have 'webexpythonsdk Demo' in their title
all_rooms = api.rooms.list()
demo_rooms = [room for room in all_rooms if 'webexpythonsdk Demo' in room.title]
# Delete all of the demo rooms
for room in demo_rooms:
api.rooms.delete(room.id)
# Create a new demo room
demo_room = api.rooms.create('webexpythonsdk Demo')
# Add people to the new demo room
email_addresses = ["test01@cmlccie.com", "test02@cmlccie.com"]
for email in email_addresses:
api.memberships.create(demo_room.id, personEmail=email)
# Post a message to the new room, and upload a file
api.messages.create(demo_room.id, text="Welcome to the room!",
files=["https://www.webex.com/content/dam/wbx/us/images/navigation/CiscoWebex-Logo_white.png"])
That’s more than 6 Webex API calls in less than 23 lines of code (with comments and whitespace), and likely more than that, since webexpythonsdk handles pagination for you automatically!
webexpythonsdk makes your life better… Learn how!
Features
webexpythonsdk does all of this for you:
Transparently sources your Webex access token from your local environment
Provides and uses default arguments and settings everywhere possible, so you don’t have to think about things like API endpoint URLs, HTTP headers and JSON formats
Represents all Webex API interactions using native Python tools
Authentication and Connection to the Webex Cloud ==> WebexAPI “connection object”
API Calls ==> Hierarchically organized methods underneath the WebexAPI ‘Connection Object’
Returned Data Objects ==> Native Python objects
Automatic and transparent pagination!
Automatic rate-limit handling! (wait|retry)
Multipart encoding and uploading of local files
Auto-completion in your favorite IDE, descriptive exceptions, and so much more…

History
The Webex Python SDK (webexpythonsdk) library started as Cisco Spark API (ciscosparkapi) which became Webex Teams SDK and then Webex Python SDK (webexpythonsdk). We updated the library’s name in alignment with Cisco’s re-brand of Cisco Spark to Webex and then again to align the name with the broader set of Webex APIs accessible via the SDK (meetings, recordings, etc.). The previous versions of the library are deprecated and no longer supported; however, their open-source codebase is still available in the release/v0/ciscosparkapi and release/v1/webexteamssdk branches in this repository.
webexpythonsdk (current) is compatible with Python v3.10+ and is the recommended library for new projects.
webexteamssdk (deprecated) is compatible with Python v2 and v3 (<= v3.10) and is still available for existing projects. Users are encouraged to migrate to webexpythonsdk.
ciscosparkapi (deprecated) is compatible with Python v2 and v3 (<= v3.6) and should no longer be used.
