You can use the SDK library to work with the Yandex Cloud API. To install it, specify the dependency in the requirements.txt file. The SDK library is pre-installed in the python37 and python38 runtimes.

The library source code is available on GitHub.

The SDK (Software Development Kit) helps you manage Yandex Cloud resources using the service account specified in the function parameters. For example, you can get a list of available clouds:

import yandexcloud

from yandex.cloud.resourcemanager.v1.cloud_service_pb2 import ListCloudsRequest
from yandex.cloud.resourcemanager.v1.cloud_service_pb2_grpc import CloudServiceStub


def handler(event, context):
    cloud_service = yandexcloud.SDK().client(CloudServiceStub)
    clouds = {}
    for c in cloud_service.List(ListCloudsRequest()).clouds:
        clouds[c.id] = c.name
    return clouds
