Posit SDK for Python

This package provides a Pythonic interface for developers to work against the public APIs of Posit's professional products. It is intended to be lightweight yet expressive.

The Posit SDK is in the very early stages of development, and currently only Posit Connect has any support.

Installation

pip install posit-sdk

Usage

Establish server information and credentials using the following environment variables or when initializing a client. Then checkout the Posit Connect Cookbook to get started.

Caution

It is important to keep your API key safe and secure. Your API key grants access to your account and allows you to make authenticated requests to the Posit API. Treat your API key like a password and avoid sharing it with others. If you suspect that your API key has been compromised, regenerate a new one immediately to maintain the security of your account.

Option 1 (Preferred)

export CONNECT_API_KEY="my-secret-api-key"
export CONNECT_SERVER="https://example.com/"

from posit.connect import Client

client = Client()

Option 2

export CONNECT_API_KEY="my-secret-api-key"

from posit.connect import Client

Client("https://example.com")

Option 3

from posit.connect import Client

Client("https://example.com", "my-secret-api-key")
