# UII Python API
This repository contains an implementation of a client for the [**Virtomize Unattended Install Images API**](https://uii.virtomize.com/).

## Build an ISO
Building an ISO requires two steps.
1. Create a client. 
This requires the API token created in the UI (see below). 

    ```python
    import uiipythonapi as uii
    api = uii.Client("token here")
    ```

2. Building the ISO by using `build` on the client object. 

    ```python
    err = api.build("debian10.iso", "debian", "10", "x86_64", "hostnamehere", [{
            "dhcp": True,        
            "nointernet": False,
    }])
    ```
   
   `build` requires the following parameters: 
   - A path to the output file
   - The name of the distribution
   - The version number of the distribution
   - The architecture of the distribution (`x86_64` in most cases)
   - A configuration of the network interfaces
      
## Register an API token
Before using this client library, you need to register an API token under your account.
For this, login into the [website](https://uii.virtomize.com/) and go to the "API-Token" tab.

![API-Token tab](https://github.com/Virtomize/uii-go-api/blob/master/doc/api-token.png "API-Token tab")

There, create a new API token by clicking "Create" and give it a name. Then click save.
![Create a token](https://github.com/Virtomize/uii-go-api/blob/master/doc/api-token-create.png "Create a token")

A new token will be created.
Copy this token, as it will be hidden, once you log out.
There, create a new API token by clicking "Create" and give it a name. Then click save.
