Creating a Firewall

This example creates a firewall that only accepts inbound tcp traffic on port 80 from a specific load balancer and allows outbound tcp traffic on all ports to all addresses.

from digitalocean import Firewall, InboundRule, OutboundRule, Destinations, Sources

inbound_rule = InboundRule(protocol="tcp", ports="80",
                           sources=Sources(
                               load_balancer_uids=[
                                   "4de7ac8b-495b-4884-9a69-1050c6793cd6"]
                               )
                           )

outbound_rule = OutboundRule(protocol="tcp", ports="all",
                             destinations=Destinations(
                               addresses=[
                                   "0.0.0.0/0",
                                   "::/0"]
                                 )
                             )

firewall = Firewall(token="secretspecialuniquesnowflake",
                    name="new-firewall",
                    inbound_rules=[inbound_rule],
                    outbound_rules=[outbound_rule],
                    droplet_ids=[8043964, 8043972])
firewall.create()

Listing the domains

This example shows how to list all the active domains:

import digitalocean
TOKEN="secretspecialuniquesnowflake"
manager = digitalocean.Manager(token=TOKEN)
my_domains = manager.get_all_domains()
print(my_domains)

⬆ back to top

Listing records of a domain

This example shows how to list all records of a domain:

import digitalocean
TOKEN="secretspecialuniquesnowflake"
domain = digitalocean.Domain(token=TOKEN, name="example.com")
records = domain.get_records()
for r in records:
    print(r.name, r.domain, r.type, r.data)

⬆ back to top

Creating a domain record

This example shows how to create new domain record (sub.example.com):

import digitalocean
TOKEN="secretspecialuniquesnowflake"
domain = digitalocean.Domain(token=TOKEN, name="example.com")
new_record =  domain.create_new_domain_record(
                type='A',
                name='sub',
                data='93.184.216.34'
                )
print(new_record)

⬆ back to top

Update a domain record

This example shows how to modify an existing domain record (sub.example.com):

import digitalocean
TOKEN="secretspecialuniquesnowflake"
domain = digitalocean.Domain(token=TOKEN, name="example.com")
records = domain.get_records()
id = None
for r in records:
    if r.name == 'sub':
        r.data = '1.1.1.1'
        r.save()

Getting account requests/hour limits status

Each request will also include the rate limit information:

import digitalocean
account = digitalocean.Account(token="secretspecialuniquesnowflake").load()
# or
manager = digitalocean.Manager(token="secretspecialuniquesnowflake")
account = manager.get_account()

Output:

droplet_limit: 25
email: 'name@domain.me'
email_verified: True
end_point: 'https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/'
floating_ip_limit: 3
ratelimit_limit: '5000'
ratelimit_remaining: '4995'
ratelimit_reset: '1505378973'
status: 'active'
status_message: ''
token:'my_secret_token'
uuid: 'my_id'

When using the Manager().get_all.. functions, the rate limit will be stored on the manager object:

import digitalocean
manager = digitalocean.Manager(token="secretspecialuniquesnowflake")
domains = manager.get_all_domains()

print(manager.ratelimit_limit)

Session customization

You can take advantage of the requests library and configure the HTTP client under python-digitalocean.

Configure retries in case of connection error

This example shows how to configure your client to retry 3 times in case of ConnectionError:

import digitalocean
import requests
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter
from requests.packages.urllib3.util.retry import Retry

manager = digitalocean.Manager(token="secretspecialuniquesnowflake")
retry = Retry(connect=3)
adapter = HTTPAdapter(max_retries=retry)
manager._session.mount('https://', adapter)

See Retry object reference to get more details about all retries options.

Configure a hook on specified answer

This example shows how to launch custom actions if a HTTP 500 occurs:

import digitalocean

def handle_response(response, *args, **kwargs):
    if response.status_code == 500:
        # Make a lot things from the raw response
        pass
    return response

manager = digitalocean.Manager(token="secretspecialuniquesnowflake")
manager._session.hooks['response'].append(handle_response)

See event hooks documentation to get more details about this feature.

Testing

Test using Docker

To test this python-digitalocean you can use docker to have a clean environment automatically. First you have to build the container by running in your shell on the repository directory:

docker build -t "pdo-tests" .

Then you can run all the tests (for both python 2 and python 3)

docker run pdo-tests

Note: This will use Ubuntu 14.04 as base and use your repository to run tests. So every time you edit some files, please run these commands to perform tests on your changes.

Testing using pytest manually

Use pytest to perform testing. It is recommended to use a dedicated virtualenv to perform tests, using these commands:

$ virtualenv /tmp/digitalocean_env
$ source /tmp/digitalocean_env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

To run all the tests manually use py.test command:

$ python -m pytest
