Tip

Detailed information about the HTTP API of Kadi4Mat itself, including all endpoints and their parameters, can be found in the developer documentation of Kadi4Mat.

Library

The Python library is the most important and most flexible way to use the functionality that kadi-apy provides. The central entry point for most functionality is the KadiManager class. The following shows a basic example on how to use it:

from kadi_apy import KadiManager

manager = KadiManager()

# Retrieve an existing record by its ID.
record = manager.record(id=1)

# Upload a file to the record.
response = record.upload_file("/path/to/file.txt")

It is also possible to use the KadiManager class as a context manager. This ensures that the underlying session is always closed after exiting the with block:

from kadi_apy import KadiManager

with KadiManager() as manager:
    # Do something with the manager.

Note

Most methods used to interact with resources return a response object as defined in the requests Python library, which can be used to detect whether a request has been successful.

Next to records (Record), it is also possible to interact with other types of resources, namely collections (Collection), templates (Template), groups (Group) and users (User), for example:

# Retrieve an existing collection by its identifier.
collection = manager.collection(identifier="my_collection")

# Create a new template with the given metadata. If the template already exists, it
# will be retrieved by its identifier.
template = manager.template(
    identifier="my_template",
    title="My template",
    create=True,
)

Common methods, namely for searching (Search) as well as miscellaneous functionality (Miscellaneous), are offered directly by corresponding helper classes:

# Perform a search for records.
response = manager.search.search_resources("record")

# Get all deleted resources.
response = manager.misc.get_deleted_resources()

Tip

It is also possible to send individual requests directly using KadiManager.make_request(), while still ensuring a common handling of things like authorization and errors. This method is especially useful for endpoints for which no dedicated functionality exists yet, depending on the versions of kadi-apy and Kadi4Mat itself that are used.

Common conversion functionality is offered via the conversion module. The following shows an example on how to use it:

from kadi_apy import conversion

with open("/path/to/file.json", mode="rb") as f:
    json_data = json.load(f)

# Convert plain JSON to a Kadi4Mat-compatible extra metadata structure.
extras = conversion.json_to_kadi(json_data)
