Dundas has a very complete REST API. You can do just about everything with it. It is what the web app uses, so if you are in need of an example, you can just look at the queries which are sent with the developer tools of your favorite browser.
That said, it is a bit of a pain to use in a script.
To make my life easy, I built PyDundas: a python package using in the background the API. This lets you abstract away all the nitty-gritty and you can concentrate on semantically pleasing code.
For instance, warehousing a cube is quite simple. It abstracts out for you logging, checking, waiting and more.
from pydundas import Api, Session, creds_from_yaml import sys import json creds = creds_from_yaml('credentials.yaml') with Session(**creds) as d: api = Api(d) capi = api.cube() cube = capi.getByPath('Awesome Project', '/relevant/path') if cube is None: print("Gotcha, no cube named like that.") sys.exit(1) print(cube.json()) if not cube.is_checked_out(): cube.clear_cache() cube.warehouse() print(cube.isWarehousing()) cube.waitForWarehousingCompletion() print('Done')
There is a lot more that can be done with PyDundas. I developed it for my needs, so I only added what I actually needed and is thus far from complete. That said, I regularly update it and add new APIs, and it is open source so feel free to send me pull requests to expand it.
