Fire Insights REST API’s can be accessed with Python. Session Cookie can be acquired using username and password and used in the subsequent calls.

Get List of Processors

The below code in Python logs in the user and acquires the session cookie via the Fire Insights REST API.

It then gets the list of Processors in Fire Insights using the REST API and prints them.

#!/usr/bin/python

# This python script logs into an instance of sparkflows, and then gets the list of Processors/Operators supported

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import json
import requests

payload = {'username':'admin', 'password':'admin'}

# login url
urllogin = 'http://localhost:8080/login'

# get list of processors url
urlprocessors = 'http://localhost:8080/nodeList'

with requests.session() as s:

  # log into sparkflows
  r = s.post(urllogin, data=payload)

  # get list of processors
  resp = s.get(urlprocessors)

  parsed_resp = json.loads(resp.text)

  for i in parsed_resp:
    print (i['name'])
