AYON Python API usage

It’s used to interact with AYON server where you can

  • Retrieve some information
  • Perform some actions

Here are some examples.

These examples assumes that you have already configured AYON_SERVER_URL, AYON_API_KEY environment variables.

Get Project Names

import ayon_api
con = ayon_api.get_server_api_connection()

projects = con.get_projects()
projects_names = [] 
for p in  projects:
  projects_names .append(p["name"])

print("Current Projects:", projects_names)

Get User info

import ayon_api
con = ayon_api.get_server_api_connection()

users = con.get_users()
users_names = [] 
for user in  users :
  users_names.append(user["name"])

print("Current Users:", users_names)

Upload Addon

import ayon_api

con = ayon_api.get_server_api_connection()
addon_zip_path = "<addon-zip-file-path>"
result = con.upload_addon_zip(addon_zip_path)
print(result) 
# result contains 'eventId'. 
# you can go to event viewer on Ayon server and check it status.
