Azure DevOps Python API

This repository contains Python APIs for interacting with and managing Azure DevOps. These APIs power the Azure DevOps Extension for Azure CLI. To learn more about the Azure DevOps Extension for Azure CLI, visit the Microsoft/azure-devops-cli-extension repo.

Install

pip install azure-devops

Get started

To use the API, establish a connection using a personal access token and the URL to your Azure DevOps organization. Then get a client from the connection and make API calls.

from azure.devops.connection import Connection
from msrest.authentication import BasicAuthentication
import pprint

# Fill in with your personal access token and org URL
personal_access_token = 'YOURPAT'
organization_url = 'https://dev.azure.com/YOURORG'

# Create a connection to the org
credentials = BasicAuthentication('', personal_access_token)
connection = Connection(base_url=organization_url, creds=credentials)

# Get a client (the "core" client provides access to projects, teams, etc)
core_client = connection.clients.get_core_client()

# Get the first page of projects
get_projects_response = core_client.get_projects()
index = 0
while get_projects_response is not None:
    for project in get_projects_response.value:
        pprint.pprint("[" + str(index) + "] " + project.name)
        index += 1
    if get_projects_response.continuation_token is not None and get_projects_response.continuation_token != "":
        # Get the next page of projects
        get_projects_response = core_client.get_projects(continuation_token=get_projects_response.continuation_token)
    else:
        # All projects have been retrieved
        get_projects_response = None

API documentation

This Python library provides a thin wrapper around the Azure DevOps REST APIs. See the Azure DevOps REST API reference for details on calling different APIs.

Samples

Learn how to call different APIs by viewing the samples in the Microsoft/azure-devops-python-samples repo.
