Autodesk provides a simple Python-based API for accessing Flow Production Tracking and integrating with other tools. This is the official API that is maintained by Autodesk (https://www.autodesk.com/support)

The latest version can always be found at http://github.com/shotgunsoftware/python-api

Tutorials and detailed documentation about the Python API are available at http://developer.shotgridsoftware.com/python-api.

You can see the full history of the Python API on the documentation site.

Integration and unit tests are provided.

• All tests require:
  • pytest and related plugins
  • (Note: Running pip install -r tests/requirements.txt will install all required packages)
• A tests/config file (you can copy an example from tests/example_config).
• Tests can be run individually like this: pytest tests/test_client.py
• To run all tests: pytest
• To run tests with coverage: pytest --cov shotgun_api3 --cov-report html
• test_client and test_unit use mock server interaction and do not require a Flow Production Tracking instance to be available (no modifications to tests/config are necessary).
• test_api and test_api_long do require a Flow Production Tracking instance, with a script key available for the tests. The server and script user values must be supplied in the tests/config file. The tests will add test data to your server based on information in your config. This data will be manipulated by the tests, and should not be used for other purposes.
