[Sync client](#sync-client) +2. [Async client](#async-client) + +## Steps To Make a Call + +1. [Initialize your client](#1-initialize-your-client "Initialize Your Client") +2. [Create a request](#2-create-a-request "Create a Request") +3. [Send the request](#3-send-the-request "Send the Request") +4. [Handle the response](#4-handle-the-response "Handle the Response") + +We will go into each step in the following sections + +## 1. Initialize Your Client + +First you import your client from the namespace of your package. For example, let's say your namespace is `azure.example` and your client's name +is `ExampleClient`. Your import would look like + +```python +from azure.example import ExampleClient +``` + +Most clients require authenticating through their `credential` parameter. Depending on what authentication support your library is using, you can either [authenticate with aad](#authenticating-with-aad) or [authenticate with an `AzureKeyCredential`](#authenticating-with-azurekeycredential). + +Additionally, most of our clients accept an `endpoint` parameter at initialization, usually a link to your own resource. + +### Authenticating with AAD + +If your client supports authenticating with an [Azure Active Directory (AAD) token credential][aad_authentication], we provide a convenient library for AAD authentication called [`azure-identity`][azure_identity_docs] that can be installed additionally with: + +```bash +pip install azure-identity +``` + +Once [`azure-identity`][azure_identity_pip] is installed, the simplest way to authenticate is to use the [`DefaultAzureCredential`][default_azure_credential] class. + +The following code snippet shows you how to authenticate with a [`DefaultAzureCredential`][default_azure_credential]. + +```python +from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential +from azure.example import ExampleClient + +client = ExampleClient( + endpoint="https://www.example.org/", + credential=DefaultAzureCredential() +) +``` + +### Authenticating with [`AzureKeyCredential`][azure_key_credential] + +Some libraries support authenticating with an [`AzureKeyCredential`][azure_key_credential]. The following code snippet shows you how to authenticate with an +[`AzureKeyCredential`][azure_key_credential] + +```python +from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential +from azure.example import ExampleClient + +credential = "myCredential" +client = ExampleClient( + endpoint="https://www.example.org/", + credential=AzureKeyCredential(credential) +) +``` + +## 2. Create a Request + +Next, you need to create the request you want to be sent to the service. + +We offer [request builders](#use-our-request-builders) to make creating your `HttpRequest`s easier. + +For more advanced users, you can also [create your `HttpRequest` fully by yourself](#create-your-own-httprequest) + +### Use our Request Builders + +Our request builders: + +- Keep track of the URL and method of the call, so you don't have to +- Let you know what parameters the service needs +- Take care of formatting your parameters +- Will be grouped into submodules if there's a natural grouping to them. + +These request builders are located in the `rest` module of our libraries. If there's +a natural grouping to request builders, these submodule groups will live inside the `rest` module. + +Now, let's make a request with a `json` body. + +```python +from azure.example.rest import build_analyze_text_request + +request = build_analyze_text_request( + json={"document": "Hello world!"}, + language="en", +) +``` + +If the `rest` module has grouped submodules, we recommend importing the whole submodule like this to +avoid name conflicts: + +```python +from azure.example.rest import languages + +request = languages.build_detect_request( + json={"document": "世界你好!"} +) +``` + +### Create Your Own [`HttpRequest`][azure_core_http_request] + +For more advanced scenarios, you can also create your own [`HttpRequest`][azure_core_http_request]. + +Let's make the same request as we do in our [previous example](#use-our-request-builders) + +```python +from azure.example.core.rest import HttpRequest + +# this URL is relative to the endpoint we passed our client +request = HttpRequest("POST", "/helloWorld", + json={"document": "Hello world!"}, + params={"language": "en"} +) +``` + +## 3. Send the Request + +Now, we pass this request to your client's `send_request` method. This actually makes the network call. + +```python +from azure.example import ExampleClient + +response = client.send_request(request) # makes the network call +``` + +## 4. Handle the Response + +Our `send_request` call returns an [`HttpResponse`][azure_core_http_response]. + +### Error handling + +The response you get back from `send_request` will not automatically raise if your response is an error. +If you wish to raise an error if your response is bad, call [`.raise_for_status()`][azure_core_raise_for_status] on your returned +response. + +```python +try: + response.raise_for_status() # raises an error if your response is not good +except HttpResponseError as e: + print(str(e)) +``` + +### JSON response + +If the response you get back should be a `json` object, you can call `.json()` on your response +to get it `json`-deserialized. + +Putting this all together, see our code snippets for how you can deal with your response object + +```python + +response = client.send_request(request) +try: + response.raise_for_status() # raises an error if your response is not good + json_response = response.json() # get your response as a json object + # Now play with your JSON response! + +except HttpResponseError as e: + print(str(e)) +``` + +## Examples + +### Sync Client + +```python +from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential +from azure.example import ExampleClient +from azure.example.rest import build_analyze_text_request +from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError + +client = ExampleClient( + endpoint="https://example.org", + credential=DefaultAzureCredential() +) + +request = build_analyze_text_request( + json={"document": "Hello world!"}, + language="en", +) + +response = client.send_request(request) + +try: + response.raise_for_status() + json_response = response.json() + # Play with your response! +except HttpResponseError: + print(str(e)) +``` + +### Async Client + +```python +from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential +from azure.example.aio import ExampleClient +from azure.example.rest import build_analyze_text_request +from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError + +request = build_analyze_text_request( + json={"document": "Hello world!"}, + language="en", +) + +with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential: + with ExampleClient(endpoint="https://example.org", credential=credential) as client: + response = await client.send_request(request) + + try: + response.raise_for_status() + await response.load_body() + json_response = response.json() + # Play with your response! + except HttpResponseError: + print(str(e)) +``` + +## Troubleshooting + +### Errors + +All errors thrown by `.raise_for_error()` are [exceptions defined in `azure-core`][azure_core_exceptions]. + +### Logging + +Our clients also have logging support. They use the standard +[logging][python_logging] library for logging. +Basic information about HTTP sessions (URLs, headers, etc.) is logged at INFO +level. + +Detailed DEBUG level logging, including request/response bodies and un-redacted +headers, can be enabled on a client with the `logging_enable` keyword argument. + +```python +from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential +from azure.example import ExampleClient + +client = ExampleClient( + endpoint="https://example.org", + credential=DefaultAzureCredential(), + logging_enable=True +) +``` + +### File an Issue + +You can file issues [here][issues] in our repo. + + + +[azure_core_docs]: https://docs.microsoft.com/python/api/overview/azure/core-readme?view=azure-python +[azure_identity_docs]: https://docs.microsoft.com/python/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-python +[http_response]: https://docs.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-core/azure.core.pipeline.transport.httpresponse?view=azure-python +[azure_identity_pip]: https://pypi.org/project/azure-identity/ +[aad_authentication]: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cognitive-services/authentication?tabs=powershell#authenticate-with-an-authentication-token +[identity_credentials]: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/master/sdk/identity/azure-identity#credentials +[default_azure_credential]: https://docs.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-identity/azure.identity.defaultazurecredential?view=azure-python +[azure_key_credential]: https://docs.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-core/azure.core.credentials.azurekeycredential?view=azure-python +[bearer_token_credential_policy]: https://docs.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-core/azure.core.pipeline.policies.bearertokencredentialpolicy?view=azure-python +[azure_key_credential_policy]: https://docs.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-core/azure.core.pipeline.policies.azurekeycredentialpolicy?view=azure-python +[azure_core_exceptions]: https://docs.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-core/azure.core.exceptions?view=azure-python +[azure_core_http_request]: https://docsupport.blob.core.windows.net/$web/azure-core/azure.core.html#azure.core.protocol.HttpRequest +[azure_core_http_response]: https://docsupport.blob.core.windows.net/$web/azure-core/azure.core.html#azure.core.protocol.HttpResponse +[azure_core_async_http_response]: https://docsupport.blob.core.windows.net/$web/azure-core/azure.core.html#azure.core.protocol.AsyncHttpResponse +[azure_core_raise_for_status]: https://docsupport.blob.core.windows.net/$web/azure-core/azure.core.html#azure.core.protocol.HttpResponse.raise_for_status +[python_logging]: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/logging.html +[code_of_conduct]: https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/ +[coc_faq]: https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/faq/ +[coc_contact]: mailto:opencode@microsoft.com +[issues]: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues
