* widgets endpoint does not support GET requests, only update, delete and create.

Getting Started

an API key is required in addition to the instance's host URL.

Installation

pip install redash-python

Usage

from redash_python import Redash

rd = Redash(base_url="", api_key="")


# get all dashboards
dashboards = rd.dashboards.get_all()

# get specific dashboards by id
dash = rd.dashboards.get(1)

# get by slug or name
query = rd.queries.get_by_name("my-dashboard")

# get by tags
q = rd.queries.get_by_tags(["my-tag"])

# get without tags
dash = rd.dashboards.get_by_tags(["my-tag"], without=True)

# Duplicate query with a different table as source
ques = rd.queries
ques.duplicate_query_table(
    query=ques.get(1),
    table_map={"old_table": "new_table"},
    tags=["admin", "test"],
    publish=True,
)

# get a list of implemented API endpoints
print(rd.services)

# get a list of implemented endpoints in a service
print(rd.users)

for a full list of implemented methods in each service, print the service object.

>>> print(client.dashboards)
DashboardsService(attributes: ['endpoint'], methods: ['create', 'create_widget', 'delete', 'duplicate', 'exists', 'favorite', 'favorited', 'get', 'get_all', 'get_by_name', 'get_by_tags', 'get_id', 'get_slug', 'paginate', 'publish', 'refresh', 'share', 'unfavorite', 'unpublish', 'update'])

for more examples on usage, see examples folder on github.

Development

before starting development, install dev depndencies:

pip install redash-python[dev]

Architecture

this library implements a services based architecture splitting each API endpoint group to its own service, on top of which is the Redash class. all the services share base classes from mixins that make it easier to share common behavior and allows rapid development for any new endpoints. for instance adding query_snippets is as simple as:

from .base import BaseService
from .mixins import CommonMixin, NameMixin, PrintMixin


class QSnipsService(CommonMixin, NameMixin, PrintMixin):
    def __init__(self, base: BaseService) -> None:
        # init mixins
        CommonMixin.__init__(self, base)

        self.__base = base
        self.endpoint = "/api/query_snippets"
