The Wavefront API allows you to perform various operations in Wavefront. The API can be used to automate commonly executed operations such as tagging sources automatically, sending events, and more.

This Python package is automatically generated by the Swagger Codegen project.

• Wavefront API version: 2

If you're looking for the V1 API, the API client can be found in the api-v1 branch of this repository.

• Python 2.7 and higher
• OpenSSL 1.0 and higher

Note: As of April 2017 Macs ship with OpenSSL version 0.9.8. You may need to upgrade to 1.0 if you have not already. To upgrade using Homebrew, run:

brew upgrade openssl

You can install the bindings via Setuptools.

python setup.py install

Or you can install from Github via pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/wavefronthq/python-client.git

Or you can install from PyPi via pip:

pip install wavefront_client

To use the bindings, import the package:

import wavefront_api_client

If you do not want to use Setuptools, you can download the latest release. Then, to use the bindings, import the package:

import path.to.wavefront_api_client

All API endpoints are documented at https://YOUR_INSTANCE.wavefront.com/api-docs/ui/. Below is a simple example demonstrating how to use the library to call the Source API. You can use this example as a starting point.

import wavefront_api_client as wave_api

base_url = 'https://YOUR_INSTANCE.wavefront.com'
api_key = 'YOUR_API_TOKEN'

client = wave_api.ApiClient(host=base_url, header_name='Authorization', header_value='Bearer ' + api_key)

# instantiate source API
source_api = wave_api.SourceApi(client)
sources = source_api.get_all_source()
print sources
