Huawei Cloud Python Software Development Kit (Python SDK)

The Huawei Cloud Python SDK allows you to easily work with Huawei Cloud services such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) without the need to handle API related tasks.

This document introduces how to obtain and use Huawei Cloud Python SDK.

Requirements

To use Huawei Cloud Python SDK, you must have Huawei Cloud account as well as the Access Key (AK) and Secret key (SK) of the Huawei Cloud account. You can create an Access Key in the Huawei Cloud console. For more information, see My Credentials.
To use Huawei Cloud Python SDK to access the APIs of specific service, please make sure you do have activated the service in Huawei Cloud console if needed.
Huawei Cloud Python SDK requires Python 3.3 or later, run command python --version to check the version of Python.

Install Python SDK

You could use pip or source code to install dependencies.

Individual Cloud Service

Take using VPC SDK for example, you need to install huaweicloudsdkvpc library:

Use python pip

# Install the VPC management library
pip install huaweicloudsdkvpc

Install from source code

# Install the VPC management library
cd huaweicloudsdkvpc-${version}
python setup.py install

Cloud Service Collection Package

You can install huaweicloudsdkall, which will install all SDK supported service packages:

Use python pip

pip install huaweicloudsdkall

Install from source code

cd huaweicloudsdkall-${version}
python setup.py install

Code example

The following example shows how to query a list of VPC in a specific region, you need to substitute your real {Service}Client for VpcClient in actual use.
Hard-coding ak and sk for authentication into the code has a great security risk. It is recommended to store the ciphertext in the profile or environment variables and decrypt it when used to ensure security.
In this example, ak and sk are stored in environment variables. Please configure the environment variables HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK and HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK before running this example.

Simplified Demo

from huaweicloudsdkcore.auth.credentials import BasicCredentials
from huaweicloudsdkvpc.v2 import ListVpcsRequest, VpcClient
from huaweicloudsdkvpc.v2.region.vpc_region import VpcRegion
from huaweicloudsdkcore.exceptions import exceptions

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Configure authentication
    # Do not hard-code authentication information into the code, as this may pose a security risk
    # Authentication can be configured through environment variables and other methods. Please refer to Chapter 2.4 Authentication Management
    credentials = BasicCredentials(os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK"), os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK"))

    # Create a service client
    client = VpcClient.new_builder() \
        .with_credentials(credentials) \
        .with_region(VpcRegion.value_of("cn-north-4")) \

2. Credentials Configuration 🔝

There are two types of Huawei Cloud services, regional services and global services.

Global services contain BSS, DevStar, EPS, IAM, RMS, TMS.

For regional services' authentication, projectId is required to initialize BasicCredentials.

For global services' authentication, domainId is required to initialize GlobalCredentials.

The following authentications are supported:

permanent AK&SK
temporary AK&SK + SecurityToken
IdpId&IdTokenFile

2.1 Use Permanent AK&SK 🔝

Parameter description:

ak is the access key ID for your account.
sk is the secret access key for your account.
project_id is the ID of your project depending on your region which you want to operate.
domain_id is the account ID of Huawei Cloud.

# Regional services
ak = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK")
sk = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
project_id = "{your projectId string}"

basic_credentials = BasicCredentials(ak, sk, project_id)

# Global services
ak = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK")
sk = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
domain_id = "{your domainId string}"

global_credentials = GlobalCredentials(ak, sk, domain_id)

Notice:

project_id/domain_id supports automatic acquisition in version 3.0.26-beta or later, if you want to use this feature, you need to provide the ak and sk of your account and the id of the region, and then build your client instance with method with_region(), detailed example could refer to 3.2 Initialize the client with specified Region .

2.2 Use Temporary AK&SK 🔝

It's required to obtain temporary AK&SK and security token first, which could be obtained through permanent AK&SK or through an agency.

Obtaining a temporary access key and security token through token, you could refer to document: https://support.huaweicloud.com/en-us/api-iam/iam_04_0002.html . The API mentioned in the document above corresponds to the method of CreateTemporaryAccessKeyByToken in IAM SDK.
Obtaining a temporary access key and security token through an agency, you could refer to document: https://support.huaweicloud.com/en-us/api-iam/iam_04_0101.html . The API mentioned in the document above corresponds to the method of CreateTemporaryAccessKeyByAgency in IAM SDK.

Parameter description:

ak is the access key ID for your account.
sk is the secret access key for your account.
security_token is the security token when using temporary AK/SK.
project_id is the ID of your project depending on your region which you want to operate.
domain_id is the account ID of Huawei Cloud.

After the temporary AK&SK&SecurityToken is successfully obtained, you can use the following example to initialize the authentication:

# Regional services
ak = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK")
sk = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
security_token = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SECURITY_TOKEN")
project_id = "{your projectId string}"

basic_credentials = BasicCredentials(ak, sk, project_id).with_security_token(security_token)

# Global services
ak = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK")
sk = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
security_token = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SECURITY_TOKEN")
domain_id = "{your domainId string}"

global_credentials = GlobalCredentials(ak, sk, domain_id).with_security_token(security_token)

2.3 Use IdpId&IdTokenFile 🔝

Obtain a federated identity authentication token using an OpenID Connect ID token, refer to the Obtaining a Token with an OpenID Connect ID Token

Parameter description:

idp_id Identity provider ID.
id_token_file Id token file path. Id token is constructed by the enterprise IdP to carry the identity information of federated users.
project_id is the ID of your project depending on your region which you want to operate.
domain_id is the account ID of Huawei Cloud.

from huaweicloudsdkcore.auth.credentials import BasicCredentials, GlobalCredentials

# Regional service
basic_cred = BasicCredentials() \
    .with_idp_id(idp_id) \
    .with_id_token_file(id_token_file) \
    .with_project_id(project_id)

# Global service
global_cred = GlobalCredentials() \
    .with_idp_id(idp_id) \
    .with_id_token_file(id_token_file) \
    .with_domain_id(domain_id)

2.4 Authentication Management 🔝

]

chain = CredentialProviderChain(providers)
credentials = chain.get_credentials()

3. Client Initialization 🔝

There are two ways to initialize the {Service}Client, you could choose one you preferred.

3.1 Initialize the {Service}Client with specified Endpoint 🔝

# Specify the endpoint, take the endpoint of VPC service in region of cn-north-4 for example
endpoint = "https://vpc.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com"

# Initialize the credentials, you should provide project_id or domain_id in this way, take initializing BasicCredentials for example
ak = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK")
sk = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
project_id = "{your projectId string}"
basic_credentials = BasicCredentials(ak, sk, project_id)

# Initialize specified service client instance, take initializing the regional service VPC's VpcClient for example
client = VpcClient.new_builder() \
    .with_http_config(config) \
    .with_credentials(basic_credentials) \
    .with_endpoint(endpoint) \
    .build()

where:

endpoint varies by services and regions, see Regions and Endpoints to obtain correct endpoint.
When you meet some trouble in getting projectId using the specified region way, you could use this way instead.

3.2 Initialize the {Service}Client with specified Region (Recommended) 🔝

import os
# dependency for region module
from huaweicloudsdkiam.v3.region.iam_region import IamRegion

# Initialize the credentials, project_id or domain_id could be unassigned in this situation
# Take initializing GlobalCredentials for example
ak = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK")
sk = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
global_credentials = GlobalCredentials(ak, sk)

# Initialize specified service client instance
# Take initializing the global service IAM's IamClient for example
client = IamClient.new_builder() \
    .with_http_config(config) \
    .with_credentials(global_credentials) \
    .with_region(IamRegion.CN_NORTH_4) \
    .build()

Notice:

If you use {Service}Region to initialize {Service}Client, project_id/domain_id supports automatic acquisition, you don't need to configure it when initializing Credentials.
Multiple ProjectId situation is not supported.
Supported region list: af-south-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, ap-southeast-3, cn-east-2, cn-east-3, cn-north-1, cn-north-4, cn-south-1, cn-southwest-2, ru-northwest-2. You may get exception such as Unsupported regionId if your region don't in the list above.

Comparison of the two ways:

Initialization	Advantages	Disadvantage
Specified Endpoint	The API can be invoked successfully once it has been published in the environment.	You need to prepare projectId and endpoint yourself.
Specified Region	No need for projectId and endpoint, it supports automatic acquisition if you configure it in the right way.	The supported services and regions are limited.

3.3 Custom Configuration 🔝

Notice: Supported since v3.0.93

3.3.1 IAM endpoint configuration 🔝

Automatically acquiring projectId/domainId will invoke the KeystoneListProjects /KeystoneListAuthDomains interface of IAM service. The default iam enpoint is https://iam.myhuaweicloud.com, European station users need to specify the endpoint as https://iam.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu, you can modify the endpoint in the following two ways:

3.3.1.1 Global scope 🔝

This configuration takes effect globally, specified by environment variable HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_IAM_ENDPOINT

//linux
export HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_IAM_ENDPOINT=https://iam.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com

//windows
set HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_IAM_ENDPOINT=https://iam.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com

3.3.1.2 Credentials scope 🔝

This configuration is only valid for a credential, and it will override the global configuration

import os

from huaweicloudsdkcore.auth.credentials import BasicCredentials

ak = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK")
sk = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
iam_endpoint = "https://iam.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com"
credentials = BasicCredentials(ak, sk).with_iam_endpoint(iam_endpoint)

3.3.2 Region configuration 🔝

3.3.2.1 Environment variable 🔝

Specified by environment variable, the format is HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGION_{SERVICE_NAME}_{REGION_ID}={endpoint}

Notice: the name of environment variable is UPPER-CASE, replacing hyphens with underscores.

// Take ECS and IoTDA services as examples

// linux
export HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGION_ECS_CN_NORTH_9=https://ecs.cn-north-9.myhuaweicloud.com
export HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGION_IOTDA_AP_SOUTHEAST_1=https://iotda.ap-southwest-1.myhuaweicloud.com

// windows
set HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGION_ECS_CN_NORTH_9=https://ecs.cn-north-9.myhuaweicloud.com
set HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGION_IOTDA_AP_SOUTHEAST_1=https://iotda.ap-southwest-1.myhuaweicloud.com

A region corresponding to multiple endpoints is supported since v3.1.60, if the main endpoint cannot be connected, it will automatically switch to the backup endpoint.

The format is HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGION_{SERVICE_NAME}_{REGION_ID}={endpoint1},{endpoint2}, separate multiple endpoints with commas, such as HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGION_ECS_CN_NORTH_9=https://ecs.cn-north-9.myhuaweicloud.com,https://ecs.cn-north-9.myhuaweicloud.cn

3.3.2.2 Profile 🔝

The profile will be read from the user's home directory by default, linux~/.huaweicloud/regions.yaml,windowsC:\Users\USER_NAME\.huaweicloud\regions.yaml,the default file may not exist, but if the file exists and the content format is incorrect, an exception will be thrown for parsing errors.

The path to the profile can be modified by configuring the environment variable HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGIONS_FILE, like HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_REGIONS_FILE=/tmp/my_regions.yml

The file content format is as follows:

# Serivce name is case-insensitive
ECS:
  - id: 'cn-north-1'
    endpoint: 'https://ecs.cn-north-1.myhuaweicloud.com'
  - id: 'cn-north-9'
    endpoint: 'https://ecs.cn-north-9.myhuaweicloud.com'
IoTDA:
  - id: 'ap-southwest-1'
    endpoint: 'https://iotda.ap-southwest-1.myhuaweicloud.com'

A region corresponding to multiple endpoints is supported since v3.1.62, if the main endpoint cannot be connected, it will automatically switch to the backup endpoint.

ECS:
  - id: 'cn-north-1'
    endpoints:
      - 'https://ecs.cn-north-1.myhuaweicloud.com'
      - 'https://ecs.cn-north-1.myhuaweicloud.cn'

3.3.2.3 Region supply chain 🔝

The default order is environment variables -> profile -> region defined in SDK, if the region is not found in the above ways, an exception will be thrown.

from huaweicloudsdkecs.v2.region.ecs_region import EcsRegion

region1 = EcsRegion.value_of("cn-north-1")
region2 = EcsRegion.value_of("cn-north-9")

4. Send Requests and Handle Responses 🔝

# Initialize a request and print response, take interface of ListVpcs for example
request = ListVpcsRequest(limit=1)

response = client.list_vpcs(request)
print(response)

4.1 Exceptions 🔝

Level 1	Notice	Level 2	Notice
ConnectionException	Connection error	HostUnreachableException	Host is not reachable
		SslHandShakeException	SSL certification error
RequestTimeoutException	Request timeout	CallTimeoutException	timeout for single request
		RetryOutageException	no response after retrying
ServiceResponseException	service response error	ServerResponseException	server inner error, http status code: [500,]
		ClientRequestException	invalid request, http status code: [400? 500)

# handle exceptions
try:
    request = ListVpcsRequest(limit=1)
    response = client.list_vpcs(request)
    print(response)
except exception.ServiceResponseException as e:
    print(e.status_code)
    print(e.request_id)
    print(e.error_code)
    print(e.error_msg)

4.2 Get Response Object 🔝

The default response format of each request is json string, if you want to obtain the response object, the Python SDK supports using method to_json_object() to get it.

request = ListVpcsRequest(limit=1)
# original response json string
response = client.list_vpcs(request)
print(response)
# response object
response_obj = response.to_json_object()
print(response_obj["vpcs"])

Notice: This method is only supported in version 3.0.34-rc or later.

5. Use Asynchronous Client 🔝

# Initialize asynchronous client, take VpcAsyncClient for example
client = VpcAsyncClient.new_builder() \
    .with_http_config(config) \
    .with_credentials(basic_credentials) \
    .with_endpoint(endpoint) \
    .build()

# send asynchronous request
request = ListVpcsRequest(limit=1)
response = client.list_vpcs_async(request)

# get asynchronous response
print(response.result())

6. Troubleshooting 🔝

SDK supports Access log and Debug log which could be configured manually.

6.1 Access Log 🔝

SDK supports print access log which could be enabled by manual configuration, the log could be output to the console or specified files.

Initialize specified service client instance, take VpcClient for example:

client = VpcClient.new_builder() \
    .with_file_log(path="test.log", log_level=logging.INFO) \  # Write log files
    .with_stream_log(log_level=logging.INFO) \                 # Write log to console
    .build()

where:

with_file_log:
- path means log file path.
- log_level means log level, default is INFO.
- max_bytes means size of single log file, the default value is 10485760 bytes.
- backup_count means count of log file, the default value is 5.
with_stream_log:
- stream means stream object, the default value is sys.stdout.
- log_level means log level, the default value is INFO.

After enabled log, the SDK will print the access log by default, every request will be recorded to the console like:

2020-06-16 10:44:02,019 4568 HuaweiCloud-SDK http_handler.py 28 INFO "GET https://vpc.cn-north-1.myhuaweicloud.com/v1/0904f9e1f100d2932f94c01f9aa1cfd7/vpcs" 200 11 0:00:00.543430 b5c927ffdab8401e772e70aa49972037

The format of access log is:

%(asctime)s %(thread)d %(name)s %(filename)s %(lineno)d %(levelname)s %(message)s

6.2 Original HTTP Listener 🔝

In some situation, you may need to debug your http requests, original http request and response information will be needed. The SDK provides a listener function to obtain the original encrypted http request and response information.

⚠️ Warning: The original http log information is used in debugging stage only, please do not print the original http header or body in the production environment. These log information is not encrypted and contains sensitive data such as the password of your ECS virtual machine, or the password of your IAM user account, etc. When the response body is binary content, the body will be printed as "***" without detailed information.

from huaweicloudsdkcore.http.http_handler import HttpHandler


def response_handler(**kwargs):
    response = kwargs.get("response")
    request = response.request

    info = "> Request %s %s HTTP/1.1" % (request.method, request.path_url) + "\n"
    if len(request.headers) != 0:
        info = info + "> Headers:" + "\n"
        for each in request.headers:
            info = info + "    %s: %s" % (each, request.headers[each]) + "\n"
    info = info + "> Body: %s" % request.body + "\n\n"

    info = info + "< Response HTTP/1.1 %s " % response.status_code + "\n"
    if len(response.headers) != 0:
        info = info + "< Headers:" + "\n"
        for each in response.headers:
            info = info + "    %s: %s" % (each, response.headers[each],) + "\n"
    info = info + "< Body: %s" % response.content
    print(info)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    http_handler = HttpHandler().add_response_handler(response_handler)
    client = VpcClient.new_builder() \
    	.with_http_handler(http_handler) \
        .build()

Notice:

HttpHandler supports method add_request_handler and add_response_handler.

7. API Invoker 🔝

7.1 Custom request headers 🔝

You can flexibly configure request headers as needed. Do not specify common request headers such as Host, Authorization, User-Agent, Content-Type unless necessary, as this may cause the errors.

Sync invoke

client = VpcClient.new_builder() \
    .with_credentials(credentials) \
    .with_region(VpcRegion.value_of("cn-north-4")) \
    .build()

request = ListVpcsRequest()
response = client.list_vpcs_invoker(request) \
    # Custom request headers
    .add_header("key1", "value1") \
    .add_header("key2", "value2") \
    .invoke()
print(response)

Async invoke

client = VpcAsyncClient.new_builder() \
    .with_credentials(credentials) \
    .with_region(VpcRegion.value_of("cn-north-4")) \
    .build()

request = ListVpcsRequest()
response = client.list_vpcs_async_invoker(request) \
    # Custom request headers
    .add_header("key1", "value1") \
    .add_header("key2", "value2") \
    .invoke().result()
print(response)

8. Upload and download files 🔝

Take the interface CreateImageWatermark of the service Data Security Center as an example, this interface needs to upload an image file and return the watermarked image file stream:

# coding: utf-8

import os

from huaweicloudsdkcore.auth.credentials import BasicCredentials
from huaweicloudsdkcore.exceptions import exceptions
from huaweicloudsdkcore.http.http_config import HttpConfig
from huaweicloudsdkcore.http.formdata import FormFile
from huaweicloudsdkdsc.v1 import *


def create_image_watermark(client):

    try:
        request = CreateImageWatermarkRequest()
        # Open the file in mode "rb", create a Formfile object.
        image_file = FormFile(open("demo.jpg", "rb"))
        body = CreateImageWatermarkRequestBody(file=image_file, blind_watermark="test_watermark")
        request.body = body
        response = client.create_image_watermark(request)
        image_file.close()
        
        # Define the method of downloading files.
        def save(stream):
            with open("result.jpg", "wb") as f:
                f.write(stream.content)
        # Download the file.
        response.consume_download_stream(save)
    except exceptions.ClientRequestException as e:
        print(e.status_code)
        print(e.request_id)
        print(e.error_code)
        print(e.error_msg)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    ak = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK")
    sk = os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
    endpoint = "{your endpoint}"
    project_id = "{your project id}"
    config = HttpConfig.get_default_config()
    config.ignore_ssl_verification = True
    credentials = BasicCredentials(ak, sk, project_id)
    dsc_client = DscClient.new_builder() \
        .with_http_config(config) \
        .with_credentials(credentials) \
        .with_endpoint(endpoint) \
        .build()
    
    create_image_watermark(dsc_client)
