Atlassian Crowd Python API

This is a simple Python API that allows to interact with the Crowd REST API.

The API currently supports the following:

  • Create users
  • Create groups
  • Add users to groups
  • Manage users attributes
  • Retrieve user details
  • Retrieve user groups

Pull requests to add additional API features (as documented at https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CROWDDEV/Crowd+REST+Resources) are very welcome. I only implemented what I needed.

Installation

You can install the module using pip.

pip install crowd-api

Usage

from crowd_api import CrowdAPI
crowd = CrowdAPI(api_url = "https://<uri>/crowd/rest/usermanagement/latest", app_name = "crowd", app_password = "secure")

# If the password attribute is not specified, a random one will be generated and returned by create_user()
req = crowd.create_user(name = "foobar", first_name = "Foo", last_name = "Bar", display_name = "Foo Bar", email = "foo@bar.com")
if req['status']:
  print "Created, password is " + req['password']

req = crowd.get_user(username = "foobar")
if req['status']:
  print req['user']

req = crowd.set_user_attribute(username = "foobar", attribute_name = "custom", attribute_value = "great!")
if req['status']:
  print "Attribute created"

req = crowd.create_group(name = "users", description = "All users")
if req['status']:
  print "Group created"

req = crowd.add_user_to_group(username = "foorbar", groupname = "users")
if req['status']:
  print "Added!"

req = crowd.remove_user_from_group(username = "foorbar", groupname = "users")
if req['status']:
  print "Removed!"

req = crowd.get_user_groups(username = "foobar")
if req['status']:
  print "Groups are " + req['groups']

req = crowd.get_group(name = "users")
if req['status']:
  info = req["group"]
  print info['description']

req = crowd.search_user(restriction = "email=bob@example.net")
if req['status']:
  info = req["user"]
  print info['status']

req = crowd.search_user(restriction = 'name = "admin*"')
if req['status']:
  info = req["group"]
  print info['description']

req = crowd.search_group(restriction = "name=admins*")
if req['status']:
  info = req["group"]
  print info['description']=

# deactivate a certain user
req = crowd.set_user_activity(username="foobar", active=False)

Examples

Under the examples directory, there's an example which implements bulk users creation.
