CLIENT USAGE

The client takes care of sending calls to the API through HTTP and handle the response.

client = CephClient(
    endpoint = 'http://apiserver:5000/api/v0.1/',
)

response, body = client.get('fsid', body = True)
print(json.dumps(body, indent=4, separators=(',', ': ')))

====

{
    "status": "OK",
    "output": {
        "fsid": "d5252e7d-75bc-4083-85ed-fe51fa83f62b"
    }
}

WRAPPER USAGE

The wrapper extends the client and provides helper functions to communicate with the API.

wrapper = CephWrapper(
    endpoint = 'http://apiserver:5000/api/v0.1/',
)

response, body = wrapper.get_fsid(body = True)
print(json.dumps(body, indent=4, separators=(',', ': ')))

====

{
    "status": "OK",
    "output": {
        "fsid": "d5252e7d-75bc-4083-85ed-fe51fa83f62b"
    }
}
