Features

Three layers of Python support for working with Apache NiFi:

• High-level Demos and example scripts
• Mid-level Client SDK for typical complex tasks
• Low-level Client SDKs for the full API implementation of NiFi and selected sub-projects

Functionality Highlights:

• Detailed documentation of the full SDK at all levels
• CRUD wrappers for common task areas like Processor Groups, Processors, Templates, Registry Clients, Registry Buckets, Registry Flows, etc.
• Convenience functions for inventory tasks, such as recursively retrieving the entire canvas, or a flat list of all Process Groups
• Support for scheduling and purging flows, controller services, and connections
• Support for fetching and updating Variable Registries
• Support for import/export of Versioned Flows from NiFi-Registry
• Docker Compose configurations for testing and deployment
• A scripted deployment of an interactive environment, and a secured configuration, for testing and demonstration purposes

Please see the issue <https://github.com/Chaffelson/nipyapi/issues>_ register for more information on current development.

Quick Start

| There are several scripts to produce demo environments in nipyapi.demo.* | The mid-level functionality is in nipyapi.canvas / nipyapi.security / nipyapi.templates / nipyapi.versioning | You can access the entire API using the low-level SDKs in nipyapi.nifi / nipyapi.registry

The easiest way to install NiPyApi is with pip::

# in bash
pip install nipyapi

You can set the config for your endpoints in the central config file::

# in python
import nipyapi
nipyapi.config.nifi_config.host = 'http://localhost:8080/nifi-api'
nipyapi.config.registry_config.host = 'http://localhost:18080/nifi-registry-api'

Then import a module and execute tasks::

nipyapi.canvas.get_root_pg_id()
>'4d5dcf9a-015e-1000-097e-e505ed0f7fd2'

You can use the Docker demos to create a secured interactive console showing many features::

from nipyapi.demo.secured_console import *
from nipyapi.demo.console import *

You can also explore the scripts to get ideas for how NiPyAPi can be used to automate your environment.

Background and Documentation

| For more information on Apache NiFi, please visit https://nifi.apache.org <https://nifi.apache.org>_ | For Documentation on this package please visit https://nipyapi.readthedocs.io. <https://nipyapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest>_

NiFi Version Support

| Currently we are testing against NiFi versions 1.1.2 - 1.10, and NiFi-Registry versions 0.1.0 - 0.5.0. | If you find a version compatibility problem please raise an issue <https://github.com/Chaffelson/nipyapi/issues>_

Python Requirements

| Python 2.7 or 3.5-7 supported, though other versions may work. We will shortly stop supporting Python2 | Tested on AL2 and OSX 10.14.x - Windows automated testing not attempted | Outside of the standard Python modules, we make use of lxml, DeepDiff, ruamel.yaml and xmltodict in processing, and Docker for demo/tests.
