Python quickstart for resellers

Follow the steps in this quickstart guide, and in about 10 minutes you'll have a simple Python command-line app that makes requests to the zero-touch enrollment reseller API.

Prerequisites

To run this quickstart, you'll need:

A Google account, that's a member of your zero-touch enrollment reseller account. If you haven't onboarded yet, follow the steps in Get started in the Reseller portal guide .
Python 2.6 or greater.
The pip package management tool.
Access to the internet and a web browser.

Step 1: Turn on the zero-touch enrollment API

Use this wizard to create or select a project in the Google Developers Console and automatically turn on the API. Click Continue, then Go to credentials.
Set What data will you be accessing?to Application data .
Click Next. You should be prompted to create a service account.
Give a descriptive name for Service account name.
Note the Service account ID(it looks like an email address) because you'll use it later.
Set Roleto Service Accounts > Service Account User .
Click Doneto finish creating the service account.
Click the email address for the service account that you created.
Click **Keys**.
Click **Add key**, then click **Create new key**.
For **Key type**, select **JSON**.
Click Createand the private key downloads to your computer.
Click **Close**.
Move the file to your working directory and rename it service_account_key.json .

Step 2: Link the service account

Open the zero-touch enrollment portal . You might need to sign in.
Click Service accounts.
Click Link service account.
Set Email addressto the address of the service account you created.
Click Link service accountto use the service account with your zero-touch enrollment account.

Step 3: Install the Google client library

Run the following command to install the library using pip:

 pip  
install  
--upgrade  
google-api-python-client

See the library's installation page for different installation options.

Step 4: Set up the sample

Create a file named quickstart.py in your working directory. Copy in the following code and save the file. Insert your own reseller partner ID as the value for PARTNER_ID (the app's first line after the imports).

 #!/usr/bin/env python 
 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Partner ID

API calls typically need your reseller partner ID as an argument. To find your partner ID from the zero-touch enrollment portal, follow the steps below:

Open the portal . You might need to sign in.
Click Service accounts.
Copy your partner ID number from the Your reseller IDline.

Step 5: Run the sample

Use your operating system's help to run the script in the file. On UNIX and Mac computers, run the command below in your terminal:

 python  
quickstart.py

Printing API responses

To make it easier to inspect responses when trying out the API, format the JSON response data. The snippet below shows how you might do this in Python using the JSON module:

  from 
  
 json 
  
 import 
 dumps 
 # ... 
 results 
 = 
 provisioning 
 . 
 partners 
 () 
 . 
 devices 
 () 
 . 
 claimAsync 
 ( 
 partnerId 
 = 
 MY_PARTNER_ID 
 , 
 body 
 = 
 { 
 'claims' 
 : 
 new_claims 
 }) 
 . 
 execute 
 () 
 # Print formatted JSON response 
 print 
 dumps 
 ( 
 results 
 , 
 indent 
 = 
 4 
 , 
 sort_keys 
 = 
 True 
 )

Troubleshooting
