NiPyApi

Nifi-Python-Api: A convenient Python wrapper for the Apache NiFi Rest API

Features

This package provides pythonic calls for common NiFi tasks and CICD/SDLC integrations

These are implemented by replicating the action of the same task in the GUI and surfacing the underlying NiFi Data structures and calls wherever possible, to retain UX parallelism for the user

Usage

The easiest way to install NiPyApi is with pip:

# in bash
pip install nipyapi

Then import and use the modules:

# in python
from nipyapi.canvas import *
from nipyapi.templates import *
from nipyapi.system import *
from nipyapi.versioning import *
dir()

Credits

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template

Inspired by the equivalent Java client maintained over at hermannpencole/nifi-config

The swagger 2.0 compliant client auto-generated using the Swagger Codegen project, and then cleaned / bugfixed by the authors
