Library

This section contains a complete API reference of the kadi.lib Python module.

API

Bases: Blueprint

Custom Flask blueprint with support for API versioning.

route(rule, **options)[source]

Decorator to register a view function for a given URL rule.

Adds a new option v to Flask’s route decorator to support API versioning within endpoints.

Example:

@blueprint.route("/records", v=["v1", "v2"])
def get_records():
    pass

The specified API versions all have to be valid, i.e. they have to be part of the available API versions defined in kadi.lib.constants.API_VERSIONS. If no versions are given, the endpoint defaults to all available versions. The regular endpoint without any version will be created as well, pointing to the same function as the endpoint correponding to the version defined in kadi.lib.constants.API_VERSION_DEFAULT.

The code snippet above would lead to the following endpoints and URLs, assuming one of the given versions corresponds to the default API version:

api.get_records -> /api/records
api.get_records_v1 -> /api/v1/records
api.get_records_v2 -> /api/v2/records

Parameters:

rule – The URL rule as string.
endpoint – (optional) The endpoint for the registered URL rule. Defaults to the name of the function.
v – (optional) A string or list of strings specifying the supported API versions.
**options – Additional options to be forwarded to the underlying rule system of Flask.

kadi.lib.api.core.json_response(status_code, body=None)[source]

Return a JSON response to a client.

Parameters:

status_code – The HTTP status code of the response.
body – (optional) The response body, which must be JSON serializable. Defaults to an empty dictionary.

Returns:

The JSON response.

kadi.lib.api.core.json_error_response(status_code, message=None, description=None, **kwargs)[source]

Return a JSON error response to a client.

Uses json_response() with the given headers and a body in the following form, assuming no additional error information was provided:

{
    "code": 404,
    "message": "<message>",
    "description": "<description>"
}

Parameters:

status_code – See json_response().
message – (optional) The error message. Defaults to a message corresponding to the given status code.
description – (optional) The error description. Defaults to the result of kadi.lib.web.get_error_description() using the given status code.
**kwargs – Additional error information that will be included in the response body. All values need to be JSON serializable.

Returns:

The JSON response.

kadi.lib.api.core.get_access_token()[source]

Get an access token from the current request.

Currently, this will either be a personal token or an OAuth2 server token. The token value has to be included as a Bearer token within an Authorization header.

Returns:: An access token object or None if no valid token can be found or no request context currently exists.

kadi.lib.api.core.check_access_token_scopes(*scopes, operator='and')[source]

Check if the current access token contains certain scope values.

The current access token will be retrieved using utils.get_access_token().

Parameters:

*scopes – One or multiple scope values to check in the form of "<object>.<action>".
operator – (optional) The operator the given scope values should be combined with. One of "and" or "or".

Returns:

True if the access token either contains all given scope values, has full access or the current request contains no valid access token at all, False otherwise or if the given operator is invalid.

kadi.lib.api.core.scopes_required(*scopes, operator='and')[source]

Decorator to add required access token scope values to an API endpoint.

Uses check_access_token_scopes(), so the scopes are only checked if the current request actually contains a valid access token. Therefore, this decorator usually only makes sense for public API endpoints that can be accessed by using an access token.

Example:

@blueprint.route("/records")
@login_required
@scopes_required("record.read")
def get_records():
    pass

The information about the scope values is also used when generating the API documentation.

Parameters:

*scopes – See check_access_token_scopes().
operator – (optional) See check_access_token_scopes().

kadi.lib.api.core.internal(func)[source]

Decorator to mark an API endpoint as internal.

Internal endpoints can only be accessed via the session, not via access tokens. This is not to be confused with kadi.lib.api.utils.is_internal_api_request().

The information about an endpoint being internal is also used when generating the API documentation.

kadi.lib.api.core.experimental(func)[source]

Decorator to mark an API endpoint as experimental.

Experimental endpoints can only be called if the EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES flag in the application’s configuration is set.

The information about an endpoint being experimental is also used when generating the API documentation.

Returns:: True if the request is an API request, False otherwise.

kadi.lib.api.utils.is_internal_api_request()[source]

Check if the current API request is an “internal” one.

An API request is marked as internal if it includes a query parameter _internal with any value (e.g. "https://...?_internal=true"). This can be useful for e.g. returning additional data that is only relevant for internal use. Note that it does not matter whether the request uses the session or an access token.

Returns:: True if the request is internal, False otherwise.

            "next": "https://...?page=3&...",
        }
    }
}

The list of items is initially empty and can be filled afterwards with whatever data should be returned. Note that the links to the previous and next pages are only present if the respective page actually exists.

update_timestamp()[source]

Manually trigger an update to the last modification timestamp.

Only actually triggers the update if the object is marked as active.

class kadi.lib.db.NestedTransaction(exc=<class 'sqlalchemy.exc.SQLAlchemyError'>)[source]

Bases: object

Context manager to start a “nested” transaction.

The nested transaction uses the SAVEPOINT feature of the database, which will be triggered when entering the context manager. Once the context manager exits, the savepoint is released, which does not actually persist the changes done in the savepoint yet. If the release produces the given exception, the savepoint will be rolled back automatically. The success attribute of the transaction can be used to check the result of the release operation afterwards.

Parameters:: exc – (optional) The exception to catch when releasing the savepoint.

kadi.lib.web.qparam(name, location=None, multiple=False, default='', parse=None, description='')[source]

Decorator to parse a query parameter in a view function.

Convenience decorator to retrieve and parse a specified query parameter from the current request. The decorator can be applied multiple times. Each parameter will be injected into the decorated function as part a dictionary inside the keyword argument qparams. The dictionary maps each given parameter name to its respective value.

The information about the query parameter is also used when generating the API documentation.

Parameters:

name – The name of both the query parameter and the dictionary key that is injected into the decorated function.
location – (optional) The name of the query parameter to use instead of name.
multiple – (optional) Flag indicating whether the query parameter can be specified multiple times and should be retrieved as list value.
default – (optional) The default value or a callable returning a default value to use in case the query parameter is missing and multiple is False, otherwise the default value will always be an empty list.
parse – (optional) A callable or list of callables to parse the parameter value if it is not missing. Each callable must take and return a single parameter value. If parsing fails with a ValueError, the default value is taken instead if multiple is False, otherwise each invalid value is removed from the resulting list.
description – (optional) A description of the query parameter, which is only used when generating the API documentation. Supports reST syntax.

kadi.lib.web.paginated(page_max=None, per_page_max=100)[source]

The former defaults to 1 while the latter defaults to 10 if no valid integer values were found. Both parameters will be injected into the decorated function as keyword arguments page and per_page.

The information about the query parameters is also used when generating the API documentation.

Parameters:

page_max – (optional) The maximum possible value of the "page" parameter.
per_page_max – (optional) The maximum possible value of the "per_page" parameter.
