aps-kiota-python-demo

Experimental Python project using Microsoft Kiota to generate SDK for Autodesk Platform Services API.

Development

Prerequisites

• APS application credentials
• Python 3 (tested with version 3.13)
• Docker

Setup

• Setup Python virtual env: python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
• Install Python dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
• (Optional) regenerate APS SDK: ./gen_sdk.sh

Testing 2-Legged OAuth

• Set the following environment variables:
  • APS_CLIENT_ID - your APS application client ID
  • APS_CLIENT_SECRET - your APS application client secret
• Run the test script: python src/test_2_legged_oauth.py

Testing 3-Legged OAuth

• Set the following environment variables:
  • APS_ACCESS_TOKEN - your APS access token (3-legged)
• Run the test script: python src/test_3_legged_oauth.py

Troubleshooting

Python future imports

There's a bug in Kiota #4600 where in certain cases the auto-generated Python code includes __future__ imports in the wrong place. If you run into this issue, please make sure you are using Kiota 1.27 or later of Kiota.

Incorrect defaults for dataclass fields

There's a bug in Kiota #6350 where in certain cases the auto-generated Python code uses [] as default value for a @dataclass field. For now this must be fixed manually by replacing [] with field(default_factory=list). There is a PR #6655 addressing this issue and will be released in Kiota 1.28

The auto-generated code in this project has already been updated to fix this issue.
