tacPy

I don't know about you, but some things about the Talend Administration Center UI are obnoxious to do, or at least monotonous.

Fortunately there's an API, so I figure I'd cook up a Python library to work with it.

This thing isn't exactly polished, but it seems to do the trick.

This is what I got my start with:

Note that these reference version 6.3

Usage

Quick Example

Let's get a list of tasks:

tac = tacPy.Client(tac_host='your.tachost.com', tac_name='org.talend.administrator', auth_user='user@company.com', auth_pass='p4ssw0rd')

r = tac.endpoint.listTasks()

for task in r.json()['result']:
    print('Project: {project} Task: {label} taskId: {id}'.format(project=task['projectName'], label=task['label'], id=task['id']))

Addtionally, the jr method is available, which returns the dict directly:

for task in tac.endpoint.listTasks.jr():
    print('Project: {project} Task: {label} taskId: {id}'.format(project=task['projectName'], label=task['label'], id=task['id']))

Pass in params like so:

tl_req_obj = tac.endpoint.taskLog(taskId=123)

task_log_data = tac.endpoint.taskLog.jr(taskId=123)

The Details

When a Client object is initiated, the help API method is called and output is processed.

This builds a list of attributes under the endpoint attribute of the Client object that represent the various methods available. Which can then be called as shown in the example above.

Calling the Method object returns the response object that the requests library emits. This also gets stored in the last_response attribute for that particular object.

Specific parameters for the method are passed as arguments like so:

r = tac.endpoint.taskLog(taskId=25, lastExecution=True)
