I've been googling and looking through the documentation, but I have yet to
find official docs for the Python API for FreeIPA.
The first result for 'python' when doing a search on www.freeipa.org is
http://www.freeipa.org/page/Python_Coding_Style On that page, there is a link
to "freeIPA Python API documentation" which goes to
https://www.freeipa.org/page/Documentation#Developer_Documentation
That page, however, doesn't have one mention of Python, and only one mention
of "API" and that is "How to migrate your code to the new LDAP API" which
doesn't seem to be related. I did manage to find
https://github.com/encukou/freeipa/tree/master/doc/examples which has a couple
(very convoluted) examples, but seems far from complete.
There is a freeipa-python RPM, but *WHERE* is the documentation for the Python
API. Or should I just shell-out to the 'ipa' command from all my python
scripts? :)
I found
https://vda.li/en/posts/2015/05/28/talking-to-freeipa-api-with-sessions/ and
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/freeipa.git/tree/API.txt so
I'm sure I could work up something with python and requests, but I'd prefer to
use the official API if I could. :)
Any assistance would be great!

Hello,
since IPA4.2 web UI contains API browser (IPA Server/API Browser)
So for example for caacl-add:
api.Command.caacl_add(u'argument-ca-acl-name', description=u"optional
description")
you can try commands in "ipa console" it contains initialized API, just
call api.Command.<your-favorite-command>()
API.txt provides the same information as API browser, but browser looks
better :)
Feel free to ask anything, if you identified gaps in docs which are hard
to understand for non-IPA developer feel free report it, or feel free to
create howTo in freeipa.org page.
