# UII Python API
This repository contains an implementation of a client for the [**Virtomize Unattended Install Images API**](https://uii.virtomize.com/).

## Build an ISO
Building an ISO requires two steps.
1. Create a client object by using the `NewClient` function. 
This requires the API token created in the UI (see below). 

```python
import uiipythonapi as uii
api = uii.Client("token here")
```

2. Building the ISO by using `build` on the client object. 
```python
err = api.build("debian10.iso", "debian", "10", "x86_64", "hostnamehere", [{
        "dhcp": True,        
        "nointernet": False,
    }])
```

   `build` requires the following parameters: 
   - A path to the output file
   - The name of the distribution
   - The version number of the distribution
   - The architecture of the distirbution (`x86_64` in most cases)
   - A configuration of the network interfaces

## Register an API token
Before using this client library, you need to register an API token under your account.
For this, login into the [website](virtomize.com) and go to the "API-Token" tab.

There, create a new API token by clicking "Create" and give it a name. Then click save.

A new token will be created.
Copy this token, as it will be hidden, once you log out.
