CS - Python CloudStack API client 
=================================

A simple, yet powerful CloudStack API client for python and the command-line.

* Async support.
* All present and future CloudStack API calls and parameters are supported.
* Syntax highlight in the command-line client if Pygments is installed.
* BSD license.

Installation
------------

::

    pip install cs

    # with the colored output
    pip install cs[highlight]

    # with the async support
    pip install cs[async]

    # with both
    pip install cs[async,highlight]

Usage
-----

In Python:

.. code-block:: python

    from cs import CloudStack

    cs = CloudStack(endpoint='https://cloudstack.example.com/client/api',
                    key='cloudstack api key',
                    secret='cloudstack api secret')

    vms = cs.listVirtualMachines()

    cs.createSecurityGroup(name='web', description='HTTP traffic')

The ``key`` and ``secret`` are optional. Leave them out to send
unauthenticated requests, for example against the CloudStack integration
port, which rejects requests carrying an API key or signature:

.. code-block:: python

    cs = CloudStack(endpoint='http://localhost:8096/client/api')

From the command-line, this requires some configuration:

.. code-block:: console

    cat $HOME/.cloudstack.ini

.. code-block:: ini

    [cloudstack]
    endpoint = https://cloudstack.example.com/client/api
    key = cloudstack api key
    secret = cloudstack api secret
    # Optional ca authority certificate
    verify = /path/to/certs/ca.crt
    # Optional client PEM certificate
    cert = /path/to/client.pem
    # If you need to pass the certificate and key as separate files
    cert_key = /path/to/client_key.pem

Then:

.. code-block:: console

    $ cs listVirtualMachines

.. code-block:: json

    {
      "count": 1,
      "virtualmachine": [
        {
          "account": "...",
          ...
        }
      ]
    }

.. code-block:: console

    $ cs authorizeSecurityGroupIngress \
        cidrlist="0.0.0.0/0" endport=443 startport=443 \
        securitygroupname="blah blah" protocol=tcp

The command-line client polls when async results are returned. To disable
polling, use the ``--async`` flag.

Configuration
-------------

Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order:

* The ``CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT``, ``CLOUDSTACK_KEY``, ``CLOUDSTACK_SECRET`` and
  ``CLOUDSTACK_METHOD`` environment variables,
  (``CLOUDSTACK_KEY`` and ``CLOUDSTACK_SECRET`` are optional: leave them
  unset for unauthenticated requests, e.g. against the integration port)
* A ``CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG`` environment variable pointing to an ``.ini`` file,
* A ``CLOUDSTACK_VERIFY`` (optional) environment variable pointing to a CA authority cert file,
* A ``CLOUDSTACK_CERT`` (optional) environment variable pointing to a client PEM cert file,
* A ``CLOUDSTACK_CERT_KEY`` (optional) environment variable pointing to a client PEM certificate key file,
* A ``cloudstack.ini`` file in the current working directory,
* A ``.cloudstack.ini`` file in the home directory.

To use that configuration scheme from your Python code:

.. code-block:: python

    from cs import CloudStack, read_config

    cs = CloudStack(**read_config())

Note that ``read_config()`` can raise ``SystemExit`` if no configuration is
found.

``CLOUDSTACK_METHOD`` or the ``method`` entry in the configuration file can be
used to change the HTTP verb used to make CloudStack requests. By default,
requests are made with the GET method but CloudStack supports POST requests.
POST can be useful to overcome some length limits in the CloudStack API.

``CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT`` or the ``timeout`` entry in the configuration file can
be used to change the HTTP timeout when making CloudStack requests (in
seconds). The default value is 10.

``CLOUDSTACK_RETRY`` or the ``retry`` entry in the configuration file
(integer) can be used to retry ``list`` and ``queryAsync`` requests on
connection errors. The default value is 0, meaning no retry.

``CLOUDSTACK_RETRY_BACKOFF`` or the ``retry_backoff`` entry in the configuration
file (number of seconds, float) sets how long to wait before the first retry.
The delay doubles for every further retry, up to 30 seconds. The default value
is 0.5.

``CLOUDSTACK_JOB_TIMEOUT`` or the ``job_timeout`` entry in the configuration file
(integer, seconds) can be used to set how long an async call is polled, assuming
``fetch_result`` is set to true. The default value is ``None``, it waits forever.

``CLOUDSTACK_POLL_INTERVAL`` or the ``poll_interval`` entry in the configuration file (number of seconds, float) can be used to set how frequently polling an async job result is done. The default value is 2.

``CLOUDSTACK_EXPIRATION`` or the ``expiration`` entry in the configuration file
(integer) can be used to set how long a signature is valid. By default, it picks
10 minutes but may be deactivated using any negative value, e.g. -1.

``CLOUDSTACK_DANGEROUS_NO_TLS_VERIFY`` or the ``dangerous_no_tls_verify`` entry
in the configuration file (boolean) can be used to deactivate the TLS verification
made when using the HTTPS protocol.

Boolean settings, such as ``dangerous_no_tls_verify`` and ``trace``, accept
``true``/``false``, ``yes``/``no``, ``on``/``off`` and ``1``/``0``.

TLS verification is always on, unless ``dangerous_no_tls_verify`` is set. The
``verify`` setting only selects a CA bundle: in Python, ``verify=False`` is the
same as leaving it out and does **not** turn the verification off:

.. code-block:: python

    CloudStack(endpoint=..., verify='/path/to/ca.crt')     # custom CA bundle
    CloudStack(endpoint=..., dangerous_no_tls_verify=True)  # no verification

Multiple credentials can be set in ``.cloudstack.ini``. This allows selecting
the credentials or endpoint to use with a command-line flag.

.. code-block:: ini

    [cloudstack]
    endpoint = https://some-host/api/v1
    key = api key
    secret = api secret

    [region-example]
    endpoint = https://cloudstack.example.com/client/api
    key = api key
    secret = api secret

Usage::

    $ cs listVirtualMachines --region=region-example

Optionally ``CLOUDSTACK_REGION`` can be used to overwrite the default region ``cloudstack``.

For the power users that don't want to put any secrets on disk,
``CLOUDSTACK_OVERRIDES`` let you pick which key will be set from the
environment even if present in the ini file.


Pagination
----------

CloudStack paginates requests. ``cs`` is able to abstract away the pagination
logic to allow fetching large result sets in one go. This is done with the
``fetch_list`` parameter::

    $ cs listVirtualMachines fetch_list=true

Or in Python::

    cs.listVirtualMachines(fetch_list=True)

Tracing HTTP requests
---------------------

Once in a while, it could be useful to understand, see what HTTP calls are made
under the hood. The ``trace`` flag (or ``CLOUDSTACK_TRACE``) does just that::

   $ cs --trace listVirtualMachines

   $ cs -t listZones

Async client
------------

``cs`` provides the ``AIOCloudStack`` class for async/await calls. It supports
the same options as ``CloudStack``.

.. code-block:: python

    import asyncio
    from cs import AIOCloudStack, read_config

    async def main():
       async with AIOCloudStack(**read_config()) as cs:
           vms = await cs.listVirtualMachines(fetch_list=True)
           print(vms)

    asyncio.run(main())

Used with ``async with``, all calls share one HTTP session and its connection
pool. Without it, every call opens and closes its own session. An existing
``aiohttp.ClientSession`` can be passed as ``session=``. It is left open, and
its own connector settings apply instead of ``verify`` and ``cert``.

Async deployment of multiple VMs
________________________________

.. code-block:: python

    import asyncio
    from cs import AIOCloudStack, read_config

    machine = {"zoneid": ..., "serviceofferingid": ..., "templateid": ...}

    async def main():
        async with AIOCloudStack(**read_config()) as cs:
            results = await asyncio.gather(*(
                cs.deployVirtualMachine(name=f"vm-{i}", **machine, fetch_result=True)
                for i in range(5)
            ))

            # Destroy all of them, but skip waiting on the job results
            await asyncio.gather(*(
                cs.destroyVirtualMachine(id=result["virtualmachine"]["id"])
                for result in results
            ))

    asyncio.run(main())

Development
-----------

This project uses `uv <https://docs.astral.sh/uv/>`_ for dependency
management and `ruff <https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/>`_ for linting and
formatting.

.. code-block:: shell-session

    # Create the virtualenv and install all dependencies
    uv sync --all-extras

    # Run the test suite (with a coverage report)
    uv run pytest

    # Run a subset of the tests, without the coverage threshold
    uv run pytest --no-cov tests/test_client.py -k signature

    # Run the test suite against another Python version
    uv run --python 3.10 pytest

    # Lint and format
    uvx ruff check .
    uvx ruff format .

Release Procedure
-----------------

Bump the version in ``cs/version.py``, then create a GitHub release: the
``Upload Python Package`` workflow builds and publishes to PyPI. To build
and publish manually:

.. code-block:: shell-session

    rm -rf dist
    uv build
    uv publish
