Manage Azure websites with Python

This sample demonstrates how to manage your Azure websites using a Python client.

On this page

Run this sample
What does example.py do?

If you don't already have it, install Python.
We recommend to use a virtual environnement to run this example, but it's not mandatory. You can initialize a virtualenv this way:
```
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv mytestenv
cd mytestenv
source bin/activate
```

Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com:Azure-Samples/app-service-web-python-manage.git

Install the dependencies using pip. This step requires pip version >=6.0 and setuptools version >=8.0. To check that you have the required versions, use pip --version and easy_install --version.
```
cd app-service-web-python-manage
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Create an Azure service principal either through Azure CLI, PowerShell or the portal.

Set the following environment variables using the information from the service principal that you created.

export AZURE_TENANT_ID={your tenant id}
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID={your client id}
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET={your client secret}
export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID={your subscription id}

[AZURE.NOTE] On Windows, use set instead of export.

Run the sample.
```
python example.py
```

What does example.py do?

The sample creates, lists and updates a website. It starts by setting up a ResourceManagementClient and a WebSiteManagementClient object using your subscription and credentials.

import os
from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials
from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient
from azure.mgmt.web import WebSiteManagementClient

subscription_id = os.environ['AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID']

credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials(
    client_id=os.environ['AZURE_CLIENT_ID'],
    secret=os.environ['AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET'],
    tenant=os.environ['AZURE_TENANT_ID']
)
resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(credentials, subscription_id)
web_client = WebSiteManagementClient(credentials, subscription_id)

The sample then sets up a resource group in which it will create the website. print_item is a helper function that will print some attributes of the ResourceGroup object returned by create_or_update.

resource_group_params = {'location':'westus'}
print_item(resource_client.resource_groups.create_or_update(GROUP_NAME, resource_group_params))

Create an App Service plan

Create a service plan to host your webapp.

from azure.mgmt.web.models import AppServicePlan, SkuDescription, Site

service_plan_async_operation = web_client.app_service_plans.create_or_update(
    GROUP_NAME,
    SERVER_FARM_NAME,
    AppServicePlan(
        app_service_plan_name=SERVER_FARM_NAME,
        location=WEST_US,
        sku=SkuDescription(
            name='S1',
            capacity=1,
            tier='Standard'
        )
    )
)
service_plan = service_plan_async_operation.result()
print_item(service_plan)

Create a website

from azure.mgmt.web.models import Site

site_async_operation = web_client.web_apps.create_or_update(
    GROUP_NAME,
    SITE_NAME,
    Site(
        location=WEST_US,
        server_farm_id=service_plan.id
    )
)
site = site_async_operation.result()
print_item(site)

List websites in the resourcegroup

for site in web_client.web_apps.list_by_resource_group(GROUP_NAME):
    print_item(site)

Get details for the given website

web_client.web_apps.get(GROUP_NAME, SITE_NAME)

Delete a website

web_client.web_apps.delete(GROUP_NAME, SITE_NAME)

At this point, the sample also deletes the resource group that it created.

delete_async_operation = resource_client.resource_groups.delete(GROUP_NAME)
delete_async_operation.wait()
