*Work with the DNA Center APIs in native Python!*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**dnacentersdk** is a *community developed* Python library for working with the DNA Center APIs. Our goal is to make working with DNA Center in Python a *native* and *natural* experience!

.. code-block:: python

from dnacentersdk import api

# Create a DNACenterAPI connection object;
# it uses DNA Center sandbox URL, username and password, with DNA Center API version 2.3.5.3.
# and requests to verify the server's TLS certificate with verify=True.
dnac = api.DNACenterAPI(username="devnetuser",
password="Cisco123!",
base_url="https://sandboxdnac.cisco.com:443",
version='2.3.7.6',
verify=True)

# Find all devices that have 'Switches and Hubs' in their family
devices = dnac.devices.get_device_list(family='Switches and Hubs')

# Print all of demo devices
for device in devices.response:
print('{:20s}{}'.format(device.hostname, device.upTime))

# Find all tags
all_tags = dnac.tag.get_tag(sort_by='name', order='des')
demo_tags = [tag for tag in all_tags.response if 'Demo' in tag.name ]

# Delete all of the demo tags
for tag in demo_tags:
dnac.tag.delete_tag(tag.id)

# Create a new demo tag
demo_tag = dnac.tag.create_tag(name='dna Demo')
task_demo_tag = dnac.task.get_task_by_id(task_id=demo_tag.response.taskId)

if not task_demo_tag.response.isError:
# Retrieve created tag
created_tag = dnac.tag.get_tag(name='dna Demo')

# Update tag
update_tag = dnac.tag.update_tag(id=created_tag.response[0].id,
name='Updated ' + created_tag.response[0].name,
description='DNA demo tag')

print(dnac.task.get_task_by_id(task_id=update_tag.response.taskId).response.progress)

# Retrieved updated
updated_tag = dnac.tag.get_tag(name='Updated dna Demo')
print(updated_tag)
else:
# Get task error details
print('Unfortunately ', task_demo_tag.response.progress)
print('Reason: ', task_demo_tag.response.failureReason)

# Advance usage example using Custom Caller functions
# Define the get_global_credentials and create_netconf_credentials functions
# under the custom_caller wrapper.
# Call them with:
# dnac.custom_caller.get_global_credentials('NETCONF')
# dnac.custom_caller.create_netconf_credentials('65533')
def setup_custom():
dnac.custom_caller.add_api('get_global_credentials',
lambda credential_type:
dnac.custom_caller.call_api(
'GET',
'/dna/intent/api/v1/global-credential',
params={
'credentialSubType': credential_type
}).response
)
dnac.custom_caller.add_api('create_netconf_credentials',
lambda port:
dnac.custom_caller.call_api(
'POST',
'/dna/intent/api/v1/global-credential/netconf',
json=[{
"netconfPort": port
}])
)

# Add the custom API calls to the connection object under the custom_caller wrapper
setup_custom()
# Call the newly added functions
dnac.custom_caller.create_netconf_credentials('65533')
print(dnac.custom_caller.get_global_credentials('NETCONF'))

Introduction
------------
Check out the complete Introduction_

**dnacentersdk handles all of this for you:**

+ Reads your DNA Center credentials from environment variables.

+ Reads your DNA Center API version from environment variable DNA_CENTER_VERSION.

+ Controls whether to verify the server's TLS certificate or not according to the verify parameter.

+ Reads your DNA Center debug from environment variable DNA_CENTER_DEBUG. Boolean.

+ Wraps and represents all DNA Center API calls as a simple hierarchical tree of
native-Python methods

+ If your Python IDE supports **auto-completion** (like `PyCharm_`), you can
navigate the available methods and object attributes right within your IDE

+ Represents all returned JSON objects as native Python objects - you can
access all of the object's attributes using native *dot.syntax*

+ **Automatic Rate-Limit Handling** Sending a lot of requests to DNA Center?
Don't worry; we have you covered. DNA Center will respond with a rate-limit
response, which will automatically be caught and "handled" for you.

+ **Refresh token** Each time the token becomes invalid, the SDK will generate a new valid token for you.
