quick snippet showing how to use Qumulo REST API to read file contents

qumulo_read_file.py

import tempfile

import qumulo.lib.auth
import qumulo.lib.request
import qumulo.rest.fs as fs

host = 'yourhost'
port = 8000
user = 'user'
passwd = 'passwd'
filepath = '/path/file'

# login
connection = None
credentials = None
connection = qumulo.lib.request.Connection(host, port)
login_results, _ = qumulo.rest.auth.login(connection, None, user, passwd)
credentials = qumulo.lib.auth.Credentials.from_login_response(login_results)

# get file contents for a well-known file
file = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
fs.read_file(connection, credentials, file, path=filepath, id_=None)
# from here you can dump the content of file, etc.
print "done."
