glpi-client

Python client to interact with GLPI webservices plugin

---

glpi-client provides 2 clients to interact with GLPI webservices plugin:

• XMLRPC client (preferred)
• REST Client

####Usage:####

from glpi_client.XMLRPCClient import XMLRPCClient
glpi = XMLRPCClient('http://localhost/glpi')
glpi.connect('login', 'password')

From this glpi object, you can call all GLPI webservices methods listed on this page: https://forge.indepnet.net/projects/webservices/wiki/En_devguide

For each webservices method, you can use python help() method

Examples:

glpi.getObject method (https://forge.indepnet.net/projects/webservices/wiki/GlpigetObject):

help(glpi.getObject)

Will give you this output:

Help on function getObject in module glpi_client.XMLRPCClient:
getObject(module='glpi', **kwargs)
Wrapper for GLPI webservices getObject method:
    It could be a good idea to see method's reference page:
    https://forge.indepnet.net/projects/webservices/wiki/GlpigetObject
@param module: webservices module to call (default: glpi)
@type module: str
@param kwargs: options for getObject method:
        - with_softwareversion: bool
        - with_document: bool
        - show_label: bool, optional
        - with_ticketvalidation: bool
        - with_peripheral: bool
        - help: bool,optional
        - with_infocom: bool, optional
        - with_contract: bool
        - show_name: bool, optional
        - with_tickettask: bool
        - with_ticketfollowup: bool
        - with_software: bool
        - with_networkport: bool, optional
        - with_reservation: bool
        - with_softwarelicense: bool
        - with_printer: bool
        - with_monitor: bool
        - with_ticket: bool
        - id: integer
        - with_phone: bool, optional (Computer only)
@type kwargs: dict

Then, use it !

glpi.getObject(
    itemtype='Computer',
    id=290,
)

On my GLPI install, it provides this result:

{'autoupdatesystems_id': '1',
'computermodels_id': '1',
'computertypes_id': '1',
'contact': 'jc',
'date_mod': '2014-02-13 09:50:20',

glpi.updateObjects method (https://forge.indepnet.net/projects/webservices/wiki/GlpiupdateObjects):

help(glpi.updateObjects)

Will give you this output:

Help on function updateObjects in module glpi_client.XMLRPCClient:

Wrapper for GLPI webservices updateObjects method:
It could be a good idea to see method's reference page:

@param module: webservices module to call (default: glpi)
@type module: str
@param kwargs: options for updateObjects method:
    - fields: array, mandatory
    - help: bool, optional
@type kwargs: dict

Then, use it !

update_info = {
    'Computer': [
        {
            'id':'6793',
            'states_id' : '16'
        }
    ]
}
result = glpi.updateObjects(fields=update_info)
