# Onspring API Python SDK
The python SDK for **version 2** of the Onspring API is meant to simplify development in Python for Onspring customers who want to build integrations with their Onspring instance.
## Installation
Install the SDK using pip:
`pip install onspring-api-sdk-python`
## API Key
In order to successfully interact with the Onspring Api you will need an API key. API keys are obtained by an Onspring user with permissions to at least **Read** API Keys for your instance via the following steps:
1. Login to the Onspring instance.
2. Navigate to **Administration** > **Security** > **API Keys**
3. On the list page, add a new API Key - this will require **Create** permissions - or click an existing API key to view its details.
4. Click on the **Developer Information** tab.
5. Copy the **X-ApiKey Header** value from this tab.
## Start Coding
The most common way to use the SDK is to create an OnspringClient instance and call its methods. Its constructor requires two parameters:
- `baseUrl` - currently this should always be: `https://api.onspring.com`
- `apiKey` - the value obtained by following the steps in the **API Key** section
It is best practice to read these values in from a configuration file for both flexibility and security purposes.
Example config.ini file:
```ini
[prod]
key = 000000ffffff000000ffffff/00000000-ffff-0000-ffff-000000000000
url = https://api.onspring.com
```
Example constructing `OnspringClient`:
```py
import sys
from OnspringClient import OnspringClient
from configparser import ConfigParser
cfg = ConfigParser()
cfg.read('config.ini')
key = cfg['prod']['key']
url = cfg['prod']['url']
client = OnspringClient(url, key)
```
## Full API Documentation
You may wish to refer to the full [Onspring API documentation](https://software.onspring.com/hubfs/Training/Admin%20Guide%20-%20v2%20API.pdf) when determining which values to pass parameters to some of the `OnspringClient` methods. There is also a swagger page that you can use for making exploratory requests.
## Example Code
The examples that follow assume you have created an `OnspringClient` as described in the **Start Coding** section.
### Verify connectivity
```py
canConnect = client.CanConnect()
if canConnect:
print('Connected successfully')
else:
print('Attempt to connect failed')
```
### Get Apps
```py
response = client.GetApps()
print(f'Status Code: {response.statusCode}')
print(f'Page Size: {response.data.pageSize}')
print(f'Page Number: {response.data.pageNumber}')
print(f'Total Pages: {response.data.totalPages}')
print(f'Total Records: {response.data.totalRecords}')
for app in response.data.apps:
print(f'Id: {app.id}')
print(f'Name: {app.name}')
print(f'href: {app.href}')
```
