Consumir el API REST de Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-Manager) no es muy común que digamos, por lo mismo que necesitamos contar con una infraestructura RHEV de pruebas para iniciar con nuestros desarrollos (a no ser que exista uno de libre disponibilidad ) y como he escuchado decir en muchas ocasiones se necesita un ambiente donde «podamos malograr». Pero bien, consumir un API REST con Python sea del RHEV-Manager u otro, da igual, se puede utilizar los mismos lineamientos para establecer la comunicación con un API REST, aunque para el presente ejemplo, vamos a usar recursos propios del RHEV-Manager.
La plataforma del RHEV-Manager, ofrece un API REST para poder consumir los recursos de la infraestructura de virtualización de Red Hat.
Para consumir esta API REST, vamos a utilizar requests. Entonces, primero creamos nuestro entorno en python.
| $ virtualenv-2.7 –no-site-packages –distribute venv | |
| $ source venv/bin/activate | |
| $ pip install requests |
Creamos nuestro cliente python rhevmanager.py. A la clase RhevManager la instanciaremos con los valores necesarios para consumir el API REST, como son los datos de autenticación (usuario y contraseña), un certificado y la URL de la API.

| class RhevManager(object): | |
| def __init__(self,api_url=None,username=None,password=None,cert=None): | |

| def request(self, url, data = None, method = «GET«): | |
| headers = self.build_header() | |
| if method == «GET«: | |
| response = requests.get(url,verify=self.cert,auth=HTTPBasicAuth(self.username, self.password),headers=headers) | |
| if method == «POST«: | |
| pass | |
| if response.status_code == 200 : | |
| return response.json() | |
| if response.status_code == 201 : | |
| pass | |
| code_error = «(%s)« % response.status_code | |
| message = {code_error:response.reason} | |
| if response.status_code == 400 : | |

| if response.status_code == 408 : | |
| return json.dumps(message) | |
| if response.status_code == 500 : | |

| def get_home_document(self): | |

| def build_header(self, accept=None, content_type=None): | |
| accept = «application/json« if accept==None else accept | |
| content_type = «application/json« if content_type==None else content_type | |
| return {«Accept«:accept, «Content-Type«:content_type} |
Ahora, crearemos un archivo demo.py, donde instanciaremos un objeto de la clase anteriormente desarrollada, enviándole como parámetros la URL de la API, las credenciales de autenticación (usuario y contraseña) y el certificado. De esta forma, podremos invocar a los métodos de esta clase, donde internamente se está armando el request correcto, y solo preocuparnos por enviarme la URL del recurso que queremos obtener.
