Using the SDK for a Python function

The python37 and python38 runtime environments contain a pre-installed library for working with the Yandex Cloud API. To use it, you do not need to add a dependency to your Python application unless you need a library version different from the pre-installed one.

In python39 or more recent runtime environments, the library is not pre-installed. The user can install it manually by specifying a dependency in requirements.txt.

The library source code is available on GitHub.

The SDK (Software Development Kit) helps you manage Yandex Cloud resources on behalf of the service account specified in the function parameters. For example, you can retrieve 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
