pypd - PagerDuty Python API Client

A client in Python for PagerDuty's v2 API.

This is a community supported repository

This repository is not an offical product of PagerDuty but aims to be an effective tool for developers to use the PagerDuty API. If you have concerns or issues you are welcome to bring them up as an issue on the repository, or we would be even happier to accept your pull requests! Happy coding :)

Now available on PyPI https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypd

How Do

Yes, how do. The ultimate question in quickstart.

Make sure that you have installed requirements with pip

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then get cracking

import pypd
pypd.api_key = "SOMESECRETAPIKEY"

# fetch some dataz
incidents = pypd.Incident.find(maximum=10)

# how do dataz?
ep = pypd.EscalationPolicy.find_one()
print ep['id']
print ep.get('name')
print ep.json  # not a string, a json-compat dict
print ep.__json__()  # a json encoded string, json encoder interface compat
print ep._data  # raw data, best not to access it this way!

# nice embedded property things
incident = pypd.Incident.find_one()
log_entries = incident.log_entries()
alerts = incident.alerts()

# incident actions
incident.snooze(from_email='jdc@pagerduty.com', 3600) # snooze for an hour
incident.resolve(from_email='jdc@pagerduty.com', resolution='We solved a thing')
incident.merge(from_email='jdc@pagerduty.com', [another_incident, ])
incident.create_note(from_email='jdc@pagerduty.com', 'Duly noted.')

# find users
user = pypd.User.find_one(email="jdc@pagerduty.com")

# create an event
pypd.Event.create(data={
    'service_key': 'YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY',
    'event_type': 'trigger',
    'description': 'this is a trigger event!',
    'contexts': [
          {
              'type': 'link',
              'href': 'http://acme.pagerduty.com',
              'text': 'View on PD',
          },
    ],
})

# create a version 2 event
pypd.EventV2.create(data={
    'routing_key': 'YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY',
    'event_action': 'trigger',
    'payload': {
        'summary': 'this is an error event!',
        'severity': 'error',
        'source': 'pypd bot',
    }
})

If you need more examples head to incident_demo.py.

Notes

All models should be complete CR-D complete, with the missing update method. Soon to be fixed.

If you need some embedded properties that don't exist, take a look at LogEntry or Incident model classes.

There was some stagnation on the pull requests here. No longer! Thanks for being patient.

Tests

Make sure you have tox installed

pip install -r test_requirements.txt

# or

pip install tox

Run all the tests (unittests only currently) with:

tox

Proxy Support

The underlying HTTP client library - requests - allows for two mechanisms to set the proxies.

You could set it via environment variables:

export HTTP_PROXY=http://myproxy.domain.tld:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://myproxy.domain.tld:8080

The other method is to add the proxy details in your code, like this:

import pypd
pypd.api_key = "SOMESECRETAPIKEY"
pypd.proxies = {'http': 'http://myproxy.domain.tld:8080', 'https': 'http://myproxy.domain.tld:8080'}

Note: The proxies configured inside your code will have preference over the proxies set in the environment variables.

Read: The requests module and it's support for proxies

Links

Do you develop twisted applications? An asynchronous port of this library for Twisted exists txpypd and is on it's way to catching up now.

Contributing

All help is welcome. Unittests are great to have more of. Suggestions welcome.
