Python SDK - modify a datasource

I am looking for a way to programmatically change a number of datasources.

I searched through the API v3. documentation but couldn’t find any way. There are some calls to get information from datasources, but none to change them.

I was expecting to find something like “patch_datasource_by_id”.

Any ideas?

I found the way to do that request. I found your example code on https://github.com/sweenig/lm/tree/main/LMAutomation/lmwrapper

That was the piece of code I needed.

Thanks for your help!

@Stuart Weenig Do you have any example code to do such a request using Python?

Thanks a lot for your help.

@Stuart Weenig -- The ‘forceUniqueIdentifier’ param is to force the change/update of ‘useWildValueAsUUID’. So like how the checkbox is disabled in the UI once you commit and save that setting:

You can bypass that via the API with the param ‘forceUniqueIdentifier’:

You also need that key param as well. This is considered destructive and should be used with caution. 😬

@Javier -- But yeah you can leverage the API to update DataSources, but it’s not documented and considered unsupported at this time.

I totally missed the title of your post. It’s not in the SDK because it’s not a published endpoint in the API. So, you’ll have to manually make the call using the requests library. If you need example code of how to do that, let me know.
