Python Bindings
===============

The python-designateclient package comes with python bindings for the Designate
API. This can be used to interact with the Designate API from any python
program.

Introduction
============

Below is a simple example of how to instantiate and perform basic tasks using
the bindings.

.. code-block:: python

   #!/usr/bin/env python

   from designateclient.v1 import Client

   # Create an instance of the client, providing the necessary credentials
   client = Client(
       auth_url="https://example.com:5000/v2.0/",
       username="openstack",
       password="yadayada",
       tenant_id="123456789"
   )

   # Fetch a list of the domains this user/tenant has access to
   domains = client.domains.list()

   # Iterate the list, printing some useful information
   for domain in domains:
       print "Domain ID: %s, Name: %s" % (domain.id, domain.name)

And the output this program might produce:

.. code-block:: console

   $ python /tmp/example.py
   Domain ID: 467f97b4-f074-4839-ae85-1a61fccfb83d, Name: example-one.com.
   Domain ID: 6d3bf479-8a93-47ae-8c65-3dff8dba1b0d, Name: example-two.com.


Authentication
==============

Designate supports either Keystone authentication, or no authentication at all.

Keystone Authentication
-----------------------

Below is a sample of standard authentication with keystone:

.. code-block:: python

   #!/usr/bin/env python

   from designateclient.v1 import Client

   # Create an instance of the client, providing the necessary credentials
   client = Client(
       auth_url="https://example.com:5000/v2.0/",
       username="openstack",
       password="yadayada",
       tenant_id="123456789"
   )

Below is a sample of standard authentication with keystone, but also explicitly
providing the endpoint to use:

.. note:: This is useful when a development Designate instances authenticates
          against a production Keystone.

.. code-block:: python

   #!/usr/bin/env python

   from designateclient.v1 import Client

   # Create an instance of the client, providing the necessary credentials
   client = Client(
       auth_url="https://example.com:5000/v2.0/",
       username="openstack",
       password="yadayada",
       tenant_id="123456789",
       endpoint="https://127.0.0.1:9001/v1/"
   )

No Authentication
-----------------

Below is a sample of interaction with a non authenticated designate:

.. code-block:: python

   #!/usr/bin/env python

   from designateclient.v1 import Client

   # Create an instance of the client, providing the endpoint directly
   client = Client(
       endpoint="https://127.0.0.1:9001/v1/"
   )
