BaseClient#

All service clients support the low level interface, provided by the BaseClient, from which all client types inherit.

A client object contains a transport, an object responsible for sending requests, encoding data, and handling potential retries. It also may include an optional authorizer, an object responsible for handling token authentication for requests.

BaseClient#

class globus_sdk.BaseClient(*, environment=None, base_url=None, authorizer=None, app_name=None, transport_params=None)[source]#

Abstract base class for clients with error handling for Globus APIs.

Parameters:

  • authorizer (GlobusAuthorizer | None) – A GlobusAuthorizer which will generate Authorization headers

  • app_name (str | None) – Optional “nice name” for the application. Has no bearing on the semantics of client actions. It is just passed as part of the User-Agent string, and may be useful when debugging issues with the Globus Team

  • base_url (str | None) – The URL for the service. Most client types initialize this value intelligently by default. Set it when inheriting from BaseClient or communicating through a proxy.

  • transport_params (dict[str, t.Any] | None) – Options to pass to the transport for this client

All other parameters are for internal use and should be ignored.

scopes: ScopeBuilder | None = None#

the scopes for this client may be present as a ScopeBuilder

get(path, *, query_params=None, headers=None)[source]#

See request() for details on the various parameters.

Return type:

GlobusHTTPResponse

post(path, *, query_params=None, data=None, headers=None, encoding=None)[source]#

Make a POST request to the specified path.

See request() for details on the various parameters.

Return type:

GlobusHTTPResponse

delete(path, *, query_params=None, headers=None)[source]#

Make a DELETE request to the specified path.

See request() for details on the various parameters.

Return type:

GlobusHTTPResponse

put(path, *, query_params=None, data=None, headers=None, encoding=None)[source]#

Make a PUT request to the specified path.

See request() for details on the various parameters.

Return type:

GlobusHTTPResponse

patch(path, *, query_params=None, data=None, headers=None, encoding=None)[source]#

Make a PATCH request to the specified path.

See request() for details on the various parameters.

Return type:

GlobusHTTPResponse

request(method, path, *, query_params=None, data=None, headers=None, encoding=None, allow_redirects=True, stream=False)[source]#

Send an HTTP request

Parameters:

  • method (str) – HTTP request method, as an all caps string

  • path (str) – Path for the request, with or without leading slash

  • query_params (dict[str, Any] | None) – Parameters to be encoded as a query string

  • headers (dict[str, str] | None) – HTTP headers to add to the request

  • data (None | str | bytes | Dict[str, Any] | PayloadWrapper) – Data to send as the request body. May pass through encoding.

  • encoding (str | None) – A way to encode request data. “json”, “form”, and “text” are all valid values. Custom encodings can be used only if they are registered with the transport. By default, strings get “text” behavior and all other objects get “json”.

  • allow_redirects (bool) – Follow Location headers on redirect response automatically. Defaults to True

  • stream (bool) – Do not immediately download the response content. Defaults to False

Raises:

GlobusAPIError – a GlobusAPIError will be raised if the response to the request is received and has a status code in the 4xx or 5xx categories

Return type:

GlobusHTTPResponse
