kb-cloud-client-python

Python client for the KubeBlocks Cloud API.

Overview

KubeBlocks Cloud exposes two API surfaces, each backed by its own control-plane console:

Console	Audience	Python package	Go equivalent
User Portal	Regular organization users	kb_cloud_client.kbcloud	api/kbcloud
Admin Portal	Platform administrators	kb_cloud_client.kbcloud.admin	api/kbcloud/admin

This mirrors the package structure of the Go client.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• requests, python-dateutil, urllib3

Installation

pip install kb-cloud-client

Or install from source:

pip install -e .

Authentication

The API uses HTTP Digest authentication with an API key name and secret.

Recommended: environment variables

export KB_CLOUD_API_KEY_NAME="your-key-name"
export KB_CLOUD_API_KEY_SECRET="your-key-secret"
export KB_CLOUD_SITE="https://api.apecloud.com"   # optional

from kb_cloud_client import ApiClient, Configuration

configuration = Configuration()        # reads env vars automatically
with ApiClient(configuration) as client:
    ...

Explicit configuration

from kb_cloud_client import ApiClient, Configuration

configuration = Configuration(
    api_key_name="your-key-name",
    api_key_secret="your-key-secret",
    host="https://api.apecloud.com",
)

Quick Start

User Portal

import os
from kb_cloud_client import ApiClient, Configuration
from kb_cloud_client.kbcloud import ClusterApi

with ApiClient(Configuration()) as client:
    api = ClusterApi(client)
    clusters = api.list_cluster(org_name=os.environ["KB_CLOUD_ORG"])
    for c in clusters.items:
        print(c.name, c.status)

Admin Portal

import os
from kb_cloud_client import ApiClient, Configuration
from kb_cloud_client.kbcloud.admin import EnvironmentApi

with ApiClient(Configuration()) as client:
    api = EnvironmentApi(client)
    envs = api.list_environment()
    for e in envs.items:
        print(e.name, e.status)

Configuration Options

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default
KB_CLOUD_API_KEY_NAME	API key name	—
KB_CLOUD_API_KEY_SECRET	API key secret	—
KB_CLOUD_SITE	API base URL	https://api.apecloud.com
HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY	HTTP proxy	—

Configuration Parameters

from kb_cloud_client import Configuration

cfg = Configuration(
    host="https://api.apecloud.com",
    api_key_name="...",
    api_key_secret="...",
    verify_ssl=True,          # set False to skip TLS verification (not recommended)
    debug=False,              # enable request/response logging
    retry_config={
        "total": 3,
        "backoff_factor": 0.5,
    },
)

Examples

Run any example after exporting your credentials:

export KB_CLOUD_API_KEY_NAME=...
export KB_CLOUD_API_KEY_SECRET=...
export KB_CLOUD_SITE=https://api.apecloud.com

Development

Regenerate the client

The client code under src/kb_cloud_client/kbcloud/ is fully generated from OpenAPI specifications in .generator/schemas/. To regenerate:

./generate.sh

The generator reads openapi.yaml (user portal) and adminapi.yaml (admin portal), and outputs to:

• src/kb_cloud_client/kbcloud/ — user portal
• src/kb_cloud_client/kbcloud/admin/ — admin portal (nested, mirrors Go api/kbcloud/admin)
