如何使用 Python 从 TFS REST API 获取信息？

Question

I've manage to fetch Project names with:

from azure.devops.connection import Connection
from msrest.authentication import BasicAuthentication

def get_project_names(token):
   # Fill in with your personal access token and org URL
   personal_access_token = token
   organization_url = '<url>'

   # Create a connection to the org
   credentials = BasicAuthentication('', personal_access_token)
   connection = Connection(base_url=organization_url, creds=credentials)

   # Get a client (the "core" client provides access to projects, teams, etc)
   core_client = connection.clients.get_core_client()

   # Get the list of projects in the org
   projects = core_client.get_projects()

   # Get Project names
   names = []

   for project in projects:
      projects_names = project.__dict__["name"]
      names.append(projects)

   return names

Luckily the sample at https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-devops-python-api provided almost everything for that.

Their documentation is very good: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/testplan/test%20%20plans/get?view=azure-devops-rest-5.1

Now I need to fetch info about our Test Plans. I've searched through the docs and looked at samles at their Github, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I haven't used this library, but looking at the example and taking a quick glance at the source it seems as though you would need to use the connection.clients.get_test_client() and then use the methods on that TestClient class.

But be sure to target the correct classes for the correct API version you're trying to access. I see there are 3 different namespaces: released , v5_0 , v5_1 . There are ClientFactory classes in each of them.

Other than this, I think you can use just about any generic http library to make the REST requests as long as you're providing the PAT in the Authentication header.
