# EdgeGrid for Python
This library implements an authentication handler for HTTP [requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) using the [EdgeGrid authentication](https://techdocs.akamai.com/developer/docs/authenticate-with-edgegrid) scheme.
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, you need to [Create authentication credentials](https://techdocs.akamai.com/developer/docs/set-up-authentication-credentials) in [Control Center](https://control.akamai.com/).
Download the Python release compatible with your operating system at [https://www.python.org/downloads/](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
> Python 2 is no longer supported by the [Python Software Foundation](https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/).
However, if you're still using it, you can follow the [Python 2 steps](#python-2-steps).
## Install
1. Install Python.
```
python setup.py install
```
1. Install the developer libraries for Python, SSL and FFI.
```
sudo apt-get install ibssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev
```
1. Install the `edgegrid-python` authentication handler.
```
pip install edgegrid-python
```
## Make an API call
To use Akamai APIs, you need the values for the tokens from your [.edgerc file](https://techdocs.akamai.com/developer/docs/set-up-authentication-credentials#add-credential-to-edgerc-file).
```pycon
>>> import requests
>>> from akamai.edgegrid import EdgeGridAuth
>>> from urllib.parse import urljoin
>>> baseurl = 'https://akaa-WWWWWWWWWWWW.luna.akamaiapis.net/'
>>> s = requests.Session()
>>> s.auth = EdgeGridAuth(
client_token='ccccccccccccccccc',
client_secret='ssssssssssssssssss',
access_token='aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
)
>>> result = s.get(urljoin(baseurl, '/diagnostic-tools/v2/ghost-locations/available'))
>>> result.status_code
200
>>> result.json()['locations'][0]['value']
Oakbrook, IL, United States
...
```
This is an example of an API call to [List available edge server locations](https://techdocs.akamai.com/diagnostic-tools/reference/ghost-locationsavailable). Change the `baseurl` element to reference an endpoint in any of the [Akamai APIs](https://techdocs.akamai.com/home/page/products-tools-a-z?sort=api).
Alternatively, your program can read the credential values directly from the `.edgerc`.
```pycon
>>> import requests
>>> from akamai.edgegrid import EdgeGridAuth, EdgeRc
>>> from urllib.parse import urljoin
>>> edgerc = EdgeRc('~/.edgerc')
>>> section = 'default'
>>> baseurl = 'https://%s' % edgerc.get(section, 'host')
>>> s = requests.Session()
>>> s.auth = EdgeGridAuth.from_edgerc(edgerc, section)
>>> result = s.get(urljoin(baseurl, '/diagnostic-tools/v2/ghost-locations/available'))
>>> result.status_code
200
>>> result.json()['locations'][0]['value']
Oakbrook, IL, United States
...
```
> NOTE: If your `.edgerc` file contains more than one credential set, use the `section` argument to specify which section contains the credentials for your API request.
## Virtual environment
To test in a [virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#creating-virtual-environments), run:
```
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python -m unittest discover
```
### Python 2 steps
Python 2.7 is no longer supported by the [Python Software Foundation](https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/), but we recognize that some developers continue to use it. If you're using Python 2.7 with EdgeGrid, follow these steps.
1. To upgrade the cryptography package, first run:
```
pip install --upgrade 'cryptography<3.4'
```
1. To continue with the installation, run:
```
pip install edgegrid-python
```
or install from sources:
```
python setup.py install
```
1. To test, run:
```
$ virtualenv -p python2.7 venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install 'cryptography<3.4' # just necessary for Python 2.7
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python -m unittest discover
```
> If you intend to run the examples with Python 2.7, remember that `urljoin` is contained in a different package.
```
from urlparse import urljoin
```
## Contribute
1. Fork the [repository](https://github.com/akamai-open/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-python) to modify the **master** branch.
2. Write a test that demonstrates that the bug was fixed or the feature works as expected.
3. Send a pull request and nudge the maintainer until it gets merged and published. :)
