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.

Note: This is an unofficial SDK for the Onspring API. It was not built in consultation with Onspring Technologies LLC or a member of their development team.

This SDK was developed independently using their existing C# SDK as a guide and with the intention of making development of integrations done in Python with an Onspring instance quicker and more convenient.

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:

[prod]
key = 000000ffffff000000ffffff/00000000-ffff-0000-ffff-000000000000
url = https://api.onspring.com

Example constructing OnspringClient:

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 when determining which values to pass as 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

canConnect = client.CanConnect()

if canConnect:
    print('Connected successfully')
else:
    print('Attempt to connect failed')

Get Apps

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}')
