This library implements an Authentication handler for requests that provides the Akamai {OPEN} Edgegrid Authentication scheme. For more information visit the Akamai {OPEN} Developer Community.

>>> import requests
>>> from akamai.edgegrid import EdgeGridAuth
>>> from urlparse import urljoin
>>> baseurl = 'https://akaa-WWWWWWWWWWWW.luna.akamaiapis.net/'
>>> s = requests.Session()
>>> s.auth = EdgeGridAuth(
    client_token='ccccccccccccccccc',
    client_secret='ssssssssssssssssss',
    access_token='aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
)

>>> result = s.get(urljoin(baseurl, '/diagnostic-tools/v2/ghost-locations/available'))
>>> result.status_code
200
>>> result.json()['locations'][0]['value']
Oakbrook, IL, United States
...

Alternatively, your program can read the credentials from an .edgerc file.

>>> import requests
>>> from akamai.edgegrid import EdgeGridAuth, EdgeRc
>>> from urlparse import urljoin

>>> edgerc = EdgeRc('~/.edgerc')
>>> section = 'default'
>>> baseurl = 'https://%s' % edgerc.get(section, 'host')

>>> s = requests.Session()
>>> s.auth = EdgeGridAuth.from_edgerc(edgerc, section)

>>> result = s.get(urljoin(baseurl, '/diagnostic-tools/v2/ghost-locations/available'))
>>> result.status_code
200
>>> result.json()['locations'][0]['value']
Oakbrook, IL, United States
...

If you are installing on a Linux based distribution, you will need to instal the developer libraries for python, ssl and a ffi. On Ubuntu based systems, you will need to do the following:

To install from pip:

$ pip install edgegrid-python

To install from sources:

$ python setup.py install

To run tests:

$ virtualenv -p python2.7 venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python -m unittest discover

1. Fork the repository to start making your changes to the master branch
2. Write a test which shows that the bug was fixed or that the feature works as expected.
3. Send a pull request and bug the maintainer until it gets merged and published. :)
