Install DoubleCloud API SDK

Before you start

Install Python 3 pip

Make sure you have python3-pip installed on your system. If not, run the following:

sudo apt install -y python3-pip

sudo dnf install python3-pip

sudo zypper install python3-pip

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

python3 -m ensurepip

Install the SDK package

pip install doublecloud

go install github.com/doublecloud/go-sdk@latest

Authenticate your API requests

You can use 2 authentication methods: service account API keys and IAM tokens.

Service account keys

1. Create a service account.

   For step-by-step instructions, see Create a service account.

2. Store and read the key ID, service account ID and private key from a JSON file. It may look as follows:

   Python

   Go

   sa_key = {
   "id": "<your key ID>",
   "service_account_id": "<your service account ID>",
   "private_key": "<your private key value>"
   }
   
   sdk = doublecloud.SDK(service_account_key=sa_key)
   

IAM tokens

1. Get an IAM token.

   For step-by-step instructions and examples, see Getting an IAM token for a service account.

2. Use the IAM token in your code:

   Python

   Go

   sdk = doublecloud.SDK(iam_token="<your IAM token value>")
   

   key, err := iamkey.ReadFromJSONFile(*flags.saPath)
   
   ret.saPath = flag.String("saPath", "authorized_key.json", "Path to the service account key JSON file.\nThis file can be created using UI:\n"+
   "Members -> Service Accounts -> Create and then create authorized keys")
