Connecting to udeploy via REST and Python

In order to do anything programmatically with udeploy, we would first need to connect to uDeploy. The very first thing that you might have to do is to get yourself a token in uDeploy. IBM official documentation should suffice for this. Please follow the steps given on this page to generate your self a auth token in udeploy

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8NMD_6.1.2/com.ibm.ucbuild.doc/topics/integrations_udeploy.html

Once you have the token, create a connect.py in your workspace. Following program instantiates a udeploy object to interface with udeploy for REST calls.

connect.py

  import json
  import requests
  import base64
  from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
  from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning

  # Disable insecure SSL Warnings
  requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)

  class udeploy(object):

  def __init__(self, url, user, token):
    self.url=url
    self.user=user
    self.token=token

  # Method to do a get to udeploy
  def uget(self, uri):
    furl = self.url + uri
    res=requests.get(furl, auth=(self.user, self.token), verify=False)
    if res.status_code != 200:
        print ("Error, Status code not 200")
    else:
        return res
  # Method to do a post to udeploy
  def upost(self, uri, pl, hd):
    payload = pl
    payld = json.dumps(payload)
    furl = self.url + uri
    res=requests.post(furl,auth=(self.user,self.token),headers=hd,data=payld,verify=False)
    if res.status_code != 200:
        print ("Error, Status code not 200")
        print (res.status_code)
        print (res.text)
    else:
        return res

  # Method to do a put to udeploy
  def uput(self, uri, pl, hd):
    payload = pl
    payld = json.dumps(payload)
    furl = self.url + uri
    res=requests.put(furl,auth=(self.user,self.token),headers=hd,data=payld,verify=False)
    return res

  # Method to do a put to udeploy, but without payload (because some udeploy rest calls make a put w/o any payload.. I know)
  def uput_nopl(self, uri, hd):
    furl = self.url + uri
    res=requests.put(furl,auth=(self.user,self.token),headers=hd,verify=False)
    return res

Also at this time, lets create a properties file to store the udeploy connection parameters env.properties

  udeploy.url=https://udeployhost:8443
  udeploy.username=PasswordIsAuthToken
  udeploy.password=admin
  udeploy.token=e6666a35-616b-4120-889e-b5fe26555b39

We shall use it in our subsequent scripts
