Quick Start

Install the Cloud API Python SDK:

pip install ionoscloud

Set up a client:

import ionoscloud
import os

configuration = ionoscloud.Configuration(
    username=os.environ['IONOS_USERNAME'],
    password=os.environ['IONOS_PASSWORD']
)

with ionoscloud.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    api_instance = ionoscloud.DataCentersApi(api_client)

Use a token instead:

configuration = ionoscloud.Configuration(
    token=os.environ['IONOS_TOKEN']
)

Authentication

All Python SDKs use the same credentials. Store them in environment variables and keep them out of your source code.

export IONOS_USERNAME=[e-mail]
export IONOS_PASSWORD=yourpassword

# Use a token for CI/CD:
export IONOS_TOKEN=your_api_token

GitHub Repositories

All Python SDKs are open source on GitHub under ionos-cloud. Product SDKs follow the pattern ionoscloud-{service}.
