The almanachclient Python API

almanachclient

synopsis

A python client for the Almanach API.

Usage

First, create an Almanach Client instance with your credentials:

>>> from almanachclient.v1.client import Client
>>> almanach = Client(URL, AUTH_TOKEN)

Here URL will be a string that represents the url of your API. AUTH_TOKEN will be the authorization token you use to acces the API.

You can also create a Keystone Client instance and access the API with it:

>>> from almanachclient.keystone_client import KeystoneClient
>>> keystone_client = KeystoneClient(KEYSTONE_URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD, SERVICE, REGION)
>>> keystone_client.get_endpoint_url('admin')

In this case KEYSTONE_URL will be a string that represents the url of your keystone catalog. The nature of USERNAME and PASSWORD speak for themselves. SERVICE will be a string you use to identify the "almanach" service. REGION is used to determine which region the "almanach" service is being used in.

Examples

>>> import datetime >>> from almanachclient.v1.client import Client

>>> start_date = datetime.datetime(2017,01,05) >>> end_date = datetime.datetime(2017,02,05)

>>> almanach = Client('http://api.region.example.org', 'myApiAuthorizationToken') >>> almanach.get_info()

>>> almanach.get_volume_types() >>> almanach.get_volume_type('f1c2db7b-946e-47a4-b443-914a669a6673') >>> almanach.create_volume_type('f1c2db7b-946e-47a4-b443-914a669a5555', 'VolumeTypeName') >>> almanach.delete_volume_type('f1c2db7b-946e-47a4-b443-914a669a5555')

>>> almanach.get_tenant_entities('my-tenant-uuid', start_date, end_date)

>>> almanach.delete_instance('f1c2db7b-946e-47a4-b443-914a669a3333') >>> almanach.update_instance_entity(instance_id='f1c2db7b-946e-47a4-b443-914a669a2222', start=start_date, end=end_date)
