Orion Client Session

The bulk of the interactions with Orion should be done using the OrionSession object that performs all of the HTTP calls necessary to get and update data using the Orion RESTful API.

For most cases users will want to use orionclient.session.APISession which is a pre-configured OrionSession rather than creating their own.

class orionclient.session.OrionSession(config: orionclient.session.SessionConfig = _Nothing.NOTHING, requests_session: requests.sessions.Session = _Nothing.NOTHING)

An HTTP Session authenticated against Orion for getting and creating Orion Resources.

assign_paths(*assignments: Dict[str, Any])

Assigns a path to each assignment in assignments.

For each assignment, the fields resource_type, id, and path arguments are required. A name may also be supplied, which will overwrite the item’s previous name within the folder.

Parameters

assignments (list<dict>) – A list where each object will be assigned to its path

None

Constructs a serializable link that can be used to reference an Orion resource, and can be stored in a record of type Link. Later, get_link can use the serialized link to create a Link object that can retrieve the Orion resource.

Link Object

get_resource(resource_type, resource_id, timeout=None)

When you want to instantiate an Orion resource that already exists you would use get_resource to construct that instance, specifying the type and identifier of the resource.

Parameters

This provides you with a method to leave a project

Parameters

resource (Types) – An instance from types

Raises
list_resources(resource, filters=None)

Takes a resource class and provides you with an iterator of the resource type.

Warning

Objects returned are not necessarily complete, need to call refresh_resource on the objects to get the full object.

Parameters

Returns

Iterator of resource_types

Return type

iter<resource_type>

The following example shows how to find the most recent workfloe with a given title.

from orionclient.session import APISession
from orionclient.types import WorkFloeSpec

# Find a WorkFloe spec with the specified title that is ready (as opposed to deprecated)
# Note: the title match will be an inexact match
filters = {"title": "Classic Omega", "state": "ready"}
for workfloe in APISession.list_resources(WorkFloeSpec, filters=filters):
    print(workfloe)

# There could be many that match this filter, so more work should be done to ensure
# the correct WorkFloe specification was found. For example, if the WorkFloe specification
# has a UUID, then it can be used

# Refresh to get the full specification
APISession.refresh_resource(workfloe)
print(workfloe)

  • path (str) – path to list contents or search

  • query_params (dict) – api parameters to filter the ls results.

orionclient.session.in_orion()

A function that can be used to tell if the code is being running inside of Orion or from outside orion

orionclient.session.get_profile_config(profile=None)

Retrieve the SessionConfig for a specific Orion profile configuration. If this is in Orion, this will always return the same configuration

You can setup a OrionSession with the config by doing the following

session = OrionSession(config=get_profile_config())
orionclient.session.get_session(retry_dict: Optional[Dict[int, int]] = None, request_timeout: int = 60, retry_timeout: int = 3600, backoff_dict: Optional[Dict[int, Tuple[int, int]]] = None, log_failed_headers: bool = False) → requests.sessions.Session

This creates a session using the Retryable class, which contains a dictionary mapping HTTP Status Codes to some number of retries, so upon receiving a response in the set of retryable codes, it will retry whatever number of times specified in the retry_dict or until retry_timout is reached.

It is inadvisable to set the request_timeout below 60 seconds when communicating with Orion because there is a load balancer timeout of 60 and a database statement timeout of 30.

Parameters

  • retry_dict (dict) – number of attempts for different HTTP status codes. status_code –> #retries

  • request_timeout (int) – seconds to wait for a response to a request

  • retry_timeout (int) – maximum number of seconds to keep retrying

  • backoff_dict (dict) – status_code –> (backoff_base_seconds, backoff_cap_seconds)

  • log_failed_headers (bool) – print headers useful for AWS support

Return type

Session

Example:

from orionclient.session import get_session

unauthed_session = get_session(
    {400: 3, 404: 3, 500: 3}, request_timeout=10, retry_timeout=600
)
resp = unauthed_session.get("https://www.eyesopen.com")
