# Qinglong Python API (QLAPI) Documentation

## Overview

The Qinglong Python API provides a convenient way to interact with the Qinglong system from Python scripts. The `QLAPI` object is automatically available in your Python scripts when they run within the Qinglong environment.

## Availability

The Python QLAPI is available starting from **version 2.8.0+**. If you're using an older version (e.g., v2.7.11), please upgrade to access these features.

## Prerequisites

- Qinglong version 2.8.0 or higher
- Python 3.6 or higher
- Running within Qinglong environment (scripts executed through Qinglong task system)

## Usage

The `QLAPI` object is automatically injected into your Python script's global namespace. You don't need to import anything - just use it directly:

```python
# QLAPI is automatically available
result = QLAPI.getEnvs({"searchValue": "USER"})
print(result)
```

## Available Methods

### Environment Variables Management

#### getEnvs
Get environment variables with optional search filter.

```python
# Get all environment variables
envs = QLAPI.getEnvs()

# Search for specific environment variables
envs = QLAPI.getEnvs({"searchValue": "USER"})
```

**Parameters:**
- `searchValue` (optional): String to search for in environment variable names or values

**Returns:** `EnvsResponse` with list of environment variables

## Complete Example

```python
"""
Example Qinglong Python script demonstrating QLAPI usage
"""

# Get environment variables
print("Fetching environment variables...")
envs = QLAPI.getEnvs({"searchValue": "TOKEN"})
print(f"Found {len(envs.get('data', []))} environment variables")

# Create a new environment variable
print("Creating new environment variable...")
result = QLAPI.createEnv({
    "envs": [
        {
            "name": "MY_TEST_VAR",
            "value": "test_value_123",
            "remarks": "Created by script"
        }
    ]
})
print(f"Create result: {result}")

# Send notification
print("Sending notification...")
QLAPI.notify("Script Completed", "The script has finished executing successfully")

# Send system notification
QLAPI.systemNotify({
    "title": "Task Report",
    "content": f"Processed {len(envs.get('data', []))} environment variables"
})

print("Done!")
```

## Error Handling

All QLAPI methods may raise exceptions if there are errors communicating with the backend. It's recommended to use try-except blocks:

```python
try:
    envs = QLAPI.getEnvs({"searchValue": "USER"})
    print(f"Success: {envs}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
    QLAPI.notify("Script Error", str(e))
```

## Troubleshooting

### AttributeError: 'BaseApi' object has no attribute 'getEnvs'

This error occurs when using an older version of Qinglong (before v2.8.0). Solutions:

1. **Upgrade Qinglong**: Update to version 2.8.0 or higher
2. **Check Installation**: Ensure `shell/preload/client.py` exists
3. **Verify Environment**: Make sure scripts are running within Qinglong environment

### Module Import Errors

The QLAPI is only available when scripts run within the Qinglong environment. If you're testing locally, you won't have access to QLAPI.

## Technical Details

The Python QLAPI is a wrapper around the Node.js gRPC API client. When you call a method like `QLAPI.getEnvs()`:

1. Python Client creates a temporary Node.js script
2. Executes the corresponding Node.js API method
3. Returns the JSON result back to Python

This architecture ensures consistency between JavaScript and Python APIs.
