================================================ Proxmoxer: A Python wrapper for Proxmox REST API

master branch: |master_build_status| |master_coverage_status| |pypi_version| |pypi_downloads|

develop branch: |develop_build_status| |develop_coverage_status|

Proxmoxer is a python wrapper around the Proxmox REST API v2 <https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html>_. It currently supports the Proxmox services of Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE), Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG), and Proxmox Backup Server (PBS).

It was inspired by slumber, but it is dedicated only to Proxmox. It allows not only REST API use over HTTPS, but the same api over ssh and pvesh utility.

Like Proxmoxia <https://github.com/baseblack/Proxmoxia>_, it dynamically creates attributes which responds to the attributes you've attempted to reach.

Full Documentation is available at https://proxmoxer.github.io/docs/

Migrating to version 2 ......................

Full instructions for the minimal steps needed to update to version 2 can be found in Migration Docs <https://proxmoxer.github.io/docs/latest/v1_migration/>_.

Installation ............

.. code-block:: bash

pip install proxmoxer

To use the 'https' backend, install requests

.. code-block:: bash

pip install requests

To use the 'ssh_paramiko' backend, install paramiko

.. code-block:: bash

pip install paramiko

To use the 'openssh' backend, install openssh_wrapper

.. code-block:: bash

pip install openssh_wrapper

Short usage information .......................

The first thing to do is import the proxmoxer library and create ProxmoxAPI instance.

.. code-block:: python

from proxmoxer import ProxmoxAPI

proxmox = ProxmoxAPI(
    "proxmox_host", user="admin@pam", password="secret_word", verify_ssl=False
)

This will connect by default to PVE through the 'https' backend.

Note: ensure you have the required libraries (listed above) for the connection method you are using

Queries are exposed via the access methods get, post, put and delete. For convenience two synonyms are available: create for post, and set for put.

Using the paths from the PVE API v2 <https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html>_, you can create API calls using the access methods above.

.. code-block:: pycon

>>> for node in proxmox.nodes.get():
...     for vm in proxmox.nodes(node["node"]).qemu.get():
...         print(f"{vm['vmid']}. {vm['name']} => {vm['status']}")
...
