httpie-edgegrid

EdgeGrid plugin for HTTPie.

Installation

To install from sources:

$ python setup.py install

If you have problems intalling from sources, you could use pip:

$ pip install httpie-edgegrid

Usage

The EdgeGrid plugin relies on a .edgerc credentials file that needs to be created in your home directory and organized by [section] following the format below. Each [section] can contain a different credentials set allowing you to store all of your credentials in a single .edgerc file.

[default]
client_secret = xxxx
host = xxxx # Note, don't include the https:// here
access_token = xxxx
client_token = xxxx
max-body = xxxx

[section1]
client_secret = xxxx
host = xxxx # Note, don't include the https:// here
access_token = xxxx
client_token = xxxx
max-body = xxxx

Once you have the credentials set up, here is an example of what an Akamai OPEN API call would look like:

% http --auth-type edgegrid -a <section_name>: :/<api_endpoint>

Example

Making the diagnostic-tools API locations call:

% http --auth-type edgegrid -a default: :/diagnostic-tools/v1/locations

Troubleshooting

MacOS Sierra users have reported the error "http: error: argument --auth-type/-A: invalid choice: 'edgegrid' (choose from 'basic', 'digest')" after installation. Try installing using pip instead.

The error "ImportError: ‘pyOpenSSL’ module missing required functionality. Try upgrading to v0.14 or newer" could be associated with running an older version of python (sometimes the one shipped with the OS). Try pointing to a newer python interpreter. In the example below, version 2.7.13 is intalled at /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.13/bin

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/libexec:/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.13/bin
$ sudo python setup.py install

Since v0.9.4 of httpie the Mac homebrew package is build with python3. If you get an error for "ImportError: No module named cryptography" then probably you installed httpie-edgegrid with python2.7. To explicitly install with python3 use:

$ sudo python3 setup.py install

Or with pip3:

$ sudo pip3 install httpie-edgegrid
