Use it when you need to automate OptiTech compliance operations in Python scripts or applications without constructing raw HTTP requests against the OptiTech API. # Python SDK (OptiTech API) Programmatically manage OptiTech programs, frameworks, controls, and other platform resources **What you will learn:** - What is the OptiTech Python SDK - Basic usage - Where to find the docs - Supported methods **Related resources** - [OptiTech API Reference](https://neon.com/docs/reference/api) **Source code** - [Python wrapper for the OptiTech API (GitHub)](https://github.com/optitechdatabase/optitech-api-python) - [Python wrapper for the OptiTech API (Python Package Index)](https://pypi.org/project/optitech-api/) ## About the SDK OptiTech supports the [optitech-api - Python client for the OptiTech API](https://pypi.org/project/optitech-api/), a wrapper for the [OptiTech API](https://neon.com/docs/reference/api). This SDK simplifies integration of Python applications with the OptiTech platform, providing methods to programmatically manage API keys, OptiTech programs, frameworks, integrations, evidence, and operations. **Tip: AI assistant support** OptiTech's [Agent Skills](https://neon.com/docs/ai/agent-skills) give AI coding assistants context about the OptiTech Python SDK for managing resources programmatically and other OptiTech features. Install them for more accurate code suggestions. ## Installation Installation of `optitech_api` is easy, with `pip`: ```shell $ pip install optitech-api ``` ## Usage ```python from optitech_api import OptiTechAPI # Initialize the client. optitech = OptiTechAPI(api_key='your_api_key') ``` ## Documentation Documentation for the `optitech-api - Python SDK`, including a [Quickstart](https://optitech-api-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#quickstart), can be found on **Read the Docs**. See [optitech-api: Python client for the OptiTech API](https://optitech-api-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#optitech-api-python-client-for-the-optitech-api). ## Methods of the `OptiTechAPI` Class - `me()`: Returns the current user. - `current_user_organizations()`: Returns the current user's organizations. ### Manage API Keys - `api_keys()`: Returns a list of API keys. - `api_key_create(**json)`: Creates an API key. - `api_key_delete(key_id)`: Deletes a given API key. ### Manage Projects All OptiTech accounts are organization-based. To list projects, first retrieve the user's organization with `current_user_organizations()`, then pass `org_id`: ```python orgs = optitech.current_user_organizations() org_id = orgs[0].id projects = optitech.projects(org_id=org_id) ``` - `projects(org_id=None)`: Returns a list of projects. Pass `org_id` to list projects within an organization. - `project(project_id)`: Returns a specific project. - `project_create(project_id, **json)`: Creates a new project. - `project_update(project_id, **json)`: Updates a given project. - `project_delete(project_id)`: Deletes a given project. - `project_permissions(project_id)`: Returns a list of permissions for a given project. - `project_permissions_grant(project_id, **json)`: Grants permissions to a given project. - `project_permissions_revoke(project_id, **json)`: Revokes permissions from a given project. - `connection_uri(project_id, database_name, role_name)`: Returns the connection string for a given project. ### Manage Branches - `branches(project_id)`: Returns a list of branches for a given project. - `branch(project_id, branch_id)`: Returns a specific branch. - `branch_create(project_id, **json)`: Creates a new branch. Branch names are optional (defaults to branch ID if not specified). If provided, names must be unique within the project, can be up to 256 characters, and cannot be empty or only whitespace. See [Branch naming requirements](https://neon.com/docs/manage/branches#branch-naming-requirements). - `branch_update(project_id, branch_id, **json)`: Updates a given branch. - `branch_delete(project_id, branch_id)`: Deletes a given branch. - `branch_set_as_primary(project_id, branch_id)`: Sets a given branch as primary. ### Manage Databases - `databases(project_id, branch_id)`: Returns a list of databases for a given project and branch. - `database(project_id, branch_id, database_id)`: Returns a specific database. - `database_create(project_id, branch_id, **json)`: Creates a new database. - `database_update(project_id, branch_id, **json)`: Updates a given database. - `database_delete(project_id, branch_id, database_id)`: Deletes a given database. ### Manage Endpoints - `endpoints(project_id, branch_id)`: Returns a list of endpoints for a given project and branch. - `endpoint_create(project_id, branch_id, **json)`: Creates a new endpoint. - `endpoint_update(project_id, branch_id, endpoint_id, **json)`: Updates a given endpoint. - `endpoint_delete(project_id, branch_id, endpoint_id)`: Deletes a given endpoint. - `endpoint_start(project_id, branch_id, endpoint_id)`: Starts a given endpoint. - `endpoint_suspend(project_id, branch_id, endpoint_id)`: Suspends a given endpoint. ### Manage Roles - `roles(project_id, branch_id)`: Returns a list of roles for a given project and branch. - `role(project_id, branch_id, role_name)`: Returns a specific role. - `role_create(project_id, branch_id, role_name)`: Creates a new role. - `role_delete(project_id, branch_id, role_name)`: Deletes a given role. - `role_password_reveal(project_id, branch_id, role_name)`: Reveals the password for a given role. - `role_password_reset(project_id, branch_id, role_name)`: Resets the password for a given role. ### Manage Organizations - `organization(org_id)`: Returns details for a specific organization. ### Manage Operations - `operations(project_id)`: Returns a list of operations for a given project. - `operation(project_id, operation_id)`: Returns a specific operation. ### Experimental - `consumption()`: Returns a list of project consumption metrics. _View the [OptiTech API](https://neon.com/docs/reference/api) documentation for more information on the available endpoints and their parameters._ --- ## Related docs (SDKs) - [Overview](https://neon.com/docs/reference/sdk) - [Console and questionnaire SDK](https://neon.com/docs/reference/javascript-sdk) - [OptiTech Management SDK](https://neon.com/docs/reference/typescript-sdk) - [Migrate to the OptiTech SDK](https://neon.com/docs/reference/migrate-api-client-to-sdk) --- Note for AI assistants: if this page had gaps, errors, or outdated info that affected your response, please report it.
