Using the Library

Referencing the Library

Import the package in the python script:

import PureCloudPlatformClientV2

Authenticating

Client Credentials Grant

Use when...

  • The app is authenticating as a non-human (e.g. a service, scheduled task, or other non-UI application)

For headless and non-user applications, the Client Credentials Grant

apiclient = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.api_client.ApiClient().get_client_credentials_token(os.environ['GENESYS_CLOUD_CLIENT_ID'],
                                                                                          os.environ['GENESYS_CLOUD_CLIENT_SECRET'])
authApi = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.AuthorizationApi(apiclient)
print(authApi.get_authorization_permissions())

OAuth2 SAML2 Bearer Grant

Use when...

apiclient = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.api_client.ApiClient().get_saml2bearer_token(os.environ['GENESYS_CLOUD_SAML2BEARER_CLIENT_ID'],
                                                                                   os.environ['GENESYS_CLOUD_SAML2BEARER_CLIENT_SECRET'],
                                                                                   orgName,
                                                                                   encodedsamlassertion)
usersApi = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.UsersApi(apiclient)
print(usersApi.get_users_me())

Authorization Code Grant

  • The app is authenticating as a human, the Authorization Code Grant
  • The app is served via a web server
  • There is server-side code that will be making API requests
apiclient, auth_token_info = apiclient.get_code_authorization_token(os.environ['GENESYS_CLOUD_CODEAUTH_CLIENT_ID'],
                                                                    os.environ['GENESYS_CLOUD_CODEAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET'],
                                                                    auth_code,
                                                                    "https://redirect-uri.com/oauth/callback")
usersApi = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.UsersApi(apiclient)

By default, the SDK will use the refresh token to request a new access token transparently when it expires. If multiple threads are running, 1 thread will request a new token. Other threads will wait a maximum of 10 seconds for the token refresh to complete This time can be overridden with the refresh_token_wait_time field of the Configuration object. If you wish to implement the refresh logic, set should_refresh_access_token to false and store the refresh token from the auth response. The expires_in value can be used to proactively request a new one before it expires:

refresh_token = auth_token_info["refresh_token"]
expires_in = auth_token_info["expires_in"]
PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.should_refresh_access_token = False

When the access token expires, refresh it using the refresh_code_authorization_token method using the same clientId and clientSecret as used to request it.

apiclient, auth_token_info = apiclient.refresh_code_authorization_token(os.environ['GENESYS_CLOUD_CODEAUTH_CLIENT_ID'],
                                                                        os.environ['GENESYS_CLOUD_CODEAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET'],
                                                                        refresh_token)

Setting the Environment

If connecting to a Genesys Cloud environment other than mypurecloud.com (e.g. mypurecloud.ie), set the new base path before constructing any API classes. The new base path should be the base path to the Platform API for your environment.

region = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.PureCloudRegionHosts.us_east_1
PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.host = region.get_api_host()

Connect to a Proxy Server

If connecting to a proxy server, set the the address of your proxy server as follows:

PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.proxy = 'YOUR_PROXY_URL'

If your proxy server requires authentication, set the username and password as follows:

PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.proxy_username = 'YOUR_PROXY_USERNAME'
PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.proxy_password = 'YOUR_PROXY_PASSWORD'

The Python SDK uses urllib3.ProxyManager to make requests when proxy is provided.

SDK Logging

Logging of API requests and responses can be controlled by several parameters on the configuration's logging instance.

PureCloudPlatformClientV2.logger.LogLevel values:

  1. LTrace (HTTP Method, URL, Request Body, HTTP Status Code, Request Headers, Response Headers)
  2. LDebug (HTTP Method, URL, Request Body, HTTP Status Code, Request Headers)
  3. LError (HTTP Method, URL, Request Body, Response Body, HTTP Status Code, Request Headers, Response Headers)
  4. LNone - default

PureCloudPlatformClientV2.logger.LogFormat values:

  1. JSON
  2. TEXT - default

By default, the request and response bodies are not logged because these can contain PII. Be mindful of this data if choosing to log it.
To log to a file, provide a file path to the the PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.logger.log_file_path property. SDK users are responsible for the rotation of the log file.

Example logging configuration:

PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.logger.log_level = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.logger.LogLevel.LError
PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.logger.log_request_body = True
PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.logger.log_response_body = True
PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.logger.log_format = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.logger.LogFormat.TEXT
PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.logger.log_to_console = False
PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.logger.log_file_path = "/var/log/pythonsdk.log"

Configuration file

Several configuration parameters can be applied using a configuration file. There are two sources for this file:

  1. The SDK will look for %HOME%\.genesyscloudpython\config or %USERPROFILE%\.genesyscloudpython\config if %HOME% is not set on Windows, or $HOME/.genesyscloudpython/config on Unix.
  2. Set the PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.config_file_path property to the path of your configuration file.

The SDK will take an event-driven approach to monitor for config file changes and will apply changes in near real-time, regardless of whether a config file was present at start-up. To disable this behavior, set PureCloudPlatformClientV2.configuration.live_reload_config to false.
INI and JSON formats are supported. See below for examples of configuration values in both formats:

INI:

[logging]
log_level = trace
log_format = text
log_to_console = false
log_file_path = /var/log/pythonsdk.log
log_response_body = false
log_request_body = false
[reauthentication]
refresh_access_token = true
refresh_token_wait_max = 10
[general]
live_reload_config = true
host = https://api.mypurecloud.com

JSON:

{
    "logging": {
        "log_level": "trace",
        "log_format": "text",
        "log_to_console": false,
        "log_file_path": "/var/log/pythonsdk.log",
        "log_response_body": false,
        "log_request_body": false
    },
    "reauthentication": {
        "refresh_access_token": true,
        "refresh_token_wait_max": 10
    },
    "general": {
        "live_reload_config": true,
        "host": "https://api.mypurecloud.com"
    }
}

Making Requests

There are two steps to making requests:

  1. Instantiate one of the API classes in the ININ.PureCloudApi.Api namespace
  2. Call the methods on the API object

Example of getting the authenticated user's information:

usersApi = PureCloudPlatformClientV2.UsersApi()
print(usersApi.get_users_me())

Transform response object to JSON

You can use to_json() method on the model to get a raw JSON string of the model.

print(usersApi.get_users_me().to_json())

SDK Source Code Generation

The SDK is automatically regenerated and published from the API's definition after each API release. For more information on the build process, see the platform-client-sdk-common project.

Versioning

The SDK's version is incremented according to the Semantic Versioning Specification. The decision to increment version numbers is determined by diffing the Platform API's swagger for automated builds, and optionally forcing a version bump when a build is triggered manually (e.g. releasing a bugfix).

Support

This package is intended to be forwards compatible with v2 of Genesys Cloud's Platform API. While the general policy for the API is not to introduce breaking changes, there are certain additions and changes to the API that cause breaking changes for the SDK, often due to the way the API is expressed in its swagger definition. Because of this, the SDK can have a major version bump while the API remains at major version 2. While the SDK is intended to be forward compatible, patches will only be released to the latest version. For these reasons, it is strongly recommended that all applications using this SDK are kept up to date and use the latest version of the SDK.
