This project contains the core functionality used by Python SDK's generated by the IBM OpenAPI 3 SDK Generator (openapi-sdkgen). Python code generated by openapi-sdkgen will depend on the function contained in this project.

Support for Python versions 2.x and versions <= 3.4 is deprecated and will be officially dropped in the next major release, which is expected to be end of September, 2019.

To install, use pip or easy_install:

pip install --upgrade ibm-cloud-sdk-core

or

easy_install --upgrade ibm-cloud-sdk-core

There are several flavors of authentication supported in this package. To specify the intended authentication pattern to use, simply instantiate the Authenticator of your choice.

This indicates Basic Auth is to be used. Users will pass in a username and password and the SDK will generate a Basic Auth header to send with requests to the service.

from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import BasicAuthenticator

authenticator = BasicAuthenticator(<your_username>, <your_password>)

This indicates that IAM token authentication is to be used. Users can pass in a apikey and the SDK will generate a Bearer Auth header to send with requests to the service.

from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator

authenticator = IAMAuthenticator(<your_apikey>)

This indicates that the service is an instance of CP4D, which has its own version of token authentication. Users can pass in a username, password and url, and the SDK will generate a Bearer Auth header to send with requests to the service.

from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import CloudPakForDataAuthenticator

authenticator = CloudPakForDataAuthenticator(<your_username>, <your_password>, <your_url>)

This indicates bearer token authentication is to be used. The system would prepend the bearer name to your token and add it to the authorization header.

from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import BearerTokenAuthenticator

authenticator = BearerTokenAuthenticator(<your_bearer_token>)

This indicates that no authentication is needed when sending requests to the service

from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import NoAuthAuthenticator

authenticator = NoAuthAuthenticator()
