Aries CloudController Python

Features  |  Usage  |  Available APIs  |  Contributing  |  License

The Aries CloudController is a Python-based client library for interacting with an instance of Aries Cloud Agent (ACA-Py). It leverages the OpenAPI definition from ACA-Py to provide a fully-typed, rich API experience for cloud agent interaction.

Versioning Update: As of version 0.8.0, the Aries CloudController has aligned its versioning with ACA-Py. This means that each new version of ACA-Py will correspond directly to the same version of the Aries CloudController. This change ensures a more straightforward and predictable upgrade path for users.

In other words, CloudController 0.8.0 is compatible with ACA-Py 0.8.0, CloudController 0.9.0 is compatible with ACA-Py 0.9.0, etc.

For legacy versions, please review our release history to found the version compatible with ACA-Py pre-0.8.0.

Features

Aries CloudController Python provides a robust client for interacting with Aries Cloud Agents (ACA-Py).

• Fully Typed: Offers a strongly-typed wrapper around the Aries Cloud Agent Python, enhancing developer experience and reducing errors.
• Up-to-Date Support: Compatible with the latest ACA-Py version (0.12.1), ensuring access to the most recent features and improvements.
• Auto-Generated Client: Utilizes OpenAPI definitions for automatic generation, ensuring timely updates in line with new ACA-Py releases.
• Multi-Tenancy and Authentication Support: Facilitates working with multi-tenant APIs and integrates various authentication mechanisms.
• Asynchronous API: Supports asynchronous operations, enabling efficient handling of I/O-bound tasks.

Usage

Install Aries Cloud Controller Python via pip:

pip install aries-cloudcontroller

Creating a Client

Easily initialize the AcaPyClient:

from aries_cloudcontroller import AcaPyClient

client = AcaPyClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000",
    api_key="myApiKey"
)

Admin Insecure Mode: If running ACA-Py with the --admin-insecure-mode flag and without an API key:

client = AcaPyClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000",
    admin_insecure=True  # No API key needed
)

Multitenancy: For specific tenant contexts:

client = AcaPyClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000",
    tenant_jwt="eyXXX"
)

Interacting with the Client

The API, being fully typed, is best explored through the ACA-Py Swagger UI, which mirrors the available client properties.

Example: Creating and receiving an invitation:

invitation = await client.connection.create_invitation(
    body=CreateInvitationRequest(my_label="Cloud Controller")
)

connection = await client.connection.receive_invitation(body=invitation.invitation)
