This module is intended to make it a bit easier to work with The Lumeta Corporation's Spectre API.

Install this module by running pip3 install spectre-api
This Python module is intended to be a relatively light weight wrapper around the Spectre API. The idea is to abstract out some of the authentication and paging pieces to make it easier to focus on fine-tuning the actual underlying calls. Basically, you configure a server (currently using username/password or API Key authentication) and then have it perform API calls. For example:
>>> import spectreapi
>>> s = spectreapi.UsernameServer("cc", "username", "password")
>>> r = s.get("zonedata/devices", params = { "filter.zone.id": 1} )
>>> for d in r:
... if d['ip'] is not None:
... print(d['ip'])
...

>>>Another, slightly cleaner way to do this would be to use the query methods
>>> import spectreapi
>>> z = spectreapi.UsernameServer('cc','username','password').get_zone_by_name('Zone1')
>>> q=z.query().detail('Attributes')
>>> for d in q.run():
... if d['ip'] is not None:
... print(d['ip'])

>>>A Server is the base class that has most of the functionality needed to use the Spectre API. You'll instantiate a more specific Server based on which authentication method you're using.
spectreapi.UsernameServer(<server>, <username>, <password>, [<page_size>,] [<verify>])
Where:
<server> = The IP address or DNS name of the Spectre Command Center
<username> = Username
<password> = Password
<page_size> = How many results should a GET request return at a time.
<verify> = Should we verify the SSL certificate of the server (True or False, defaults to False). You'll want to leave this a False unless you've given your command center an actual SSL certificate.
Behind the scenes, this makes an API call to system/information with basic authentication
(over https) and then uses the resulting JSESSIONID cookie for the rest of the time.
spectreapi.APIKeyServer(<server>, <api_key>, [, <page_size>] [, <verify>])
Where:
<server> = The IP address or DNS name of the Spectre Command Center
<api_key> = API Key for API access. You get this via the GUI or by issuing the
user key new <username> command at the command center CLI.
<page_size> = How many results should a GET request return at a time.
<verify> = Should we verify the SSL certificate of the server (True or False, defaults to False). You'll want to leave this a False unless you've given your command center an actual SSL certificate.
