The Property class in launchpy

The launchpy property class helds most of the methods that are being display in the Launch API documentation ().
The name of the class and instanciation method implies that these methods works on one property at a time.
You can have several insances of property to apply changes to multiple properties.
As usual more information can be found here : datanalyst.info website

The class is divided 4 types of methods:

  • get methods
  • create methods
  • delete methods
  • update methods

Here are shortlinks to the different methods explanation.

Get methods

When you have your property instance created, the methods that you may want to call first are the get methods. They never take any argument, they don't actually need any argument. The only thing important to know is that you must run the getRules() method before the getRuleComponents() method.

The different get methods are the following :

  • getRessource : Enable you to request a specific resource from Launch API via GET method.
    Arguments:

    • res_url : REQUIRED : Resource URL to request
    • params : OPTIONAL : If you want to pass any parameter.

  • getEnvironments : Retrieve the environment sets for this property

  • getHost : Retrieve the hosts sets for this property

  • getExtensions : retrieve the different information from url retrieve in the properties

  • getProfile : Returns the information about a profile

  • getRules : Return the list of the rules data.
    On top, it fills the ruleComponents attribute with a dictionnary based on rule id and their rule name and the ruleComponent of each.

  • getRule : Update the rule based on elements passed in attr_dict.
    arguments:

  • getRuleComponents : Returns a list of all the ruleComponents gathered in the ruleComponents attributes. You must have retrieved the rules before using this method (getRules()), otherwise, the method will also realize it and it will take longer, without saving the rules.
    It will also enrich the RuleCompoment JSON data with the rule_name attached to it.
    Possible kwargs:

    • rule_ids : list of rule ids to be used in order to retrieve ruleComponents
    • rule_names : list of rule names to be used in order to retrieve ruleComponents

  • getRuleComponent : Return a ruleComponent information
    Argument:

    • rc_id : REQUIRED : Rule Component ID

  • getDataElements : Retrieve data elements of that property. Returns a list.

  • getDataElement : Retrieve a specific data elements based on its ID.
    Argument:

    • dataElementId : REQUIRED : a Data Element ID

  • getLibraries : Retrieve libraries of the property.
    Returns a list.
    Arguments:

    • state : OPTIONAL : state of the library. Possible values: - development - submitted - approved - rejected - published possible kwargs:
      • published_at : it will be greater that this date ('2022-12-12T10:19:20.867Z')
      • name : it will be matching the name as equals
      • created_at : it will be greater that this date ('2022-12-12T10:19:20.867Z')
      • updated_at : it will be greater that this date ('2022-12-12T10:19:20.867Z')

  • getLibrary : Retrieve a specific library. Argument:

    • library : REQUIRED : Either the library name or the library ID

  • getNotes : Retrieve the note associated with the object pass to the method. Returns list. Arguments:

    • data: OPTIONAL : object that is associated with a Note (rule, data element, etc...)

  • getRuleRevision : Retrieve the revisions of the specified Rule. Argument:

    • rule_id : REQUIRED : Rule ID

  • getRevisions : Get the revisions of an element. Arguments:

    • element : REQUIRED : the element definition dictionary

Create methods

The same way than you can get the elements, you can create different elements.
You can create only one element at a time.
The different elements that can be created :

  • createExtension : Create an extension in your property. Your extension_id argument should be the latest one extension id available.
    Arguments :

    • extension_id : REQUIRED : ID for the extension to be created
    • settings : REQUIRED: string that define the setting to set in the extension. Usually, it can be empty.

    Arguments:

    • name : REQUIRED : name of your rule.

    It takes additional information in order to link the ruleCompoment to a rule and with an Extension.
    Arguments:

    • name : REQUIRED : name of the rule component
    • descriptor : REQUIRED : delegate_descriptor_id for the rule component
    • extension_infos : REQUIRED : Extension used for that rule component (dictionary with "id" and "type") (can be found from translator)
    • rule_infos : REQUIRED : rule information link to that rule component (dictionary with "data", "id" and "type") (can be found from translator)
    • settings : OPTIONAL : settings for that rule component
      possible kwargs:
    • order : the order of the rule component
    • negate : if the component is a negation
    • rule_order : the priority of the rule

    • descriptor : REQUIRED : delegate_descriptor_id for the data element
    • extension : REQUIRED : extension id used for the data element. (dictionary)
    • settings : OPTIONAL : settings for the data element
      possible kwargs:
      any attributes key you want to set.

  • createEnvironment : Create an environment. Note that you cannot create more than 1 environment for Staging and Production stage.
    Arguments:

  • createHost : Create a host in that property. By default Akamai host.
    Arguments:

    • name : REQUIRED : name of the host
    • host_type : OPTIONAL : type of host. 'akamai' or 'sftp'. Default 'akamai' If the host type is sftp, additional info can be enter as kwargs:

    Arguments:

    • name : REQUIRED : name of the library
    • return_class : OPTIONAL : Bool. will return a instance of the Library class if True.

the createLibrary can return an instance of the library class. More details here about that.

The delete methods delete the resources from the Launch instance.
You can delete only one element at a time.
The different delete methods are:

  • deleteEnvironment : Delete the environment based on the id.
