Runs Response

This example program is the introductory programming example for the Orbit client, which uses the Orbit web API. It demonstrates how to initialize the Orbit client, authenticate with an API token, and receive the runs response to get the list of the mission names and the respective status.

Understanding Orbit Web API

Please begin with the Quickstart Guide to get your Python programming environment set up properly. Then, specifically for this example, look at the Orbit API Docs. For a complete list of resources and their methods, see the Orbit API Reference.

Setup Dependencies

See the requirements.txt file for a list of python dependencies which can be installed with pip using the command:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the Example

To run the example for local development and testing, run the following command with verify set to False. When set to False, requests will skip server’s TLS certificate verifications which will make your application vulnerable. For production software, we recommend you set verify to True or a path to CA bundle.

python3 runs_response.py --hostname ORBIT_IP --verify False

The above command prompts you to provide the API token obtained from the Orbit admin settings page. Alternatively, you can set the environment variable BOSDYN_ORBIT_CLIENT_API_TOKEN to the API token obtained from Orbit admin settings page.
