Python client library for the CloudStack User API v3.0.0. For older versions, see the tags.

Credentials

Create a file named ".cloudstack" within your users HOME DIR with the following:

apikey = 
secret = 

Examples

List all virtual machines

#!/usr/bin/python

import CloudStack

cloudstack = CloudStack.Client()

vms = cloudstack.listVirtualMachines()

for vm in vms:
    print "%s %s %s" % (vm['id'], vm['name'], vm['state'])

Asynchronous tasks

#!/usr/bin/python

import CloudStack


cloudstack = CloudStack.Client()

job = cloudstack.deployVirtualMachine({
    'serviceofferingid': '2',
    'templateid':        '214',
    'zoneid':            '2'
})

print "VM being deployed. Job id = %s" % job['jobid']

print "All Jobs:"
jobs = cloudstack.listAsyncJobs({})
for job in jobs:
    print  "%s : %s, status = %s" % (job['jobid'], job['cmd'], job['jobstatus'])

TODO:

There is a lot to do to clean up the code and make it worthy of production. This was just a rough first pass.
