Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

VpcV1

✓ from ibm_vpc import VpcV1

✗ from ibm_vpc.vpc_v1 import VpcV1

Old pattern moved to top-level import in v0.28.0

IamAuthenticator

✓ from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IamAuthenticator

✗ from ibm_vpc import IamAuthenticator

Authenticators are in ibm-cloud-sdk-core, not ibm-vpc

Initialize VPC client with IAM API key and create a VPC.

import os from ibm_vpc import VpcV1 from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IamAuthenticator authenticator = IamAuthenticator( apikey=os.environ.get('IBM_CLOUD_API_KEY', '') ) service = VpcV1(authenticator=authenticator) service.set_service_url('https://us-south.iaas.cloud.ibm.com/v1') vpc_prototype = { 'name': 'my-vpc', 'resource_group': {'id': 'your-resource-group-id'} } response = service.create_vpc(vpc_prototype) print(response.get_result())

Debug

Known issues

breakingService URL changed from 'https://{region}.iaas.cloud.ibm.com/v1' to use set_service_url_for_region() in v0.28.0. Hardcoded URLs may break if region changes.

fix

Use service.set_service_url_for_region('us-south') instead of constructing URL manually.

affects: <0.28.0

breakingDefault API version updated from 2025-03-04 to 2025-04-22 in v0.28.0. Some response fields may have changed.

fix

Set explicit API version via set_headers or pass version parameter if you relied on old defaults.

affects: <0.28.0

gotchaCreating a VPC requires a resource_group.id; omitting it may cause a 400 error.

fix

Always include resource_group with a valid ID in the prototype.

affects: *

deprecatedThe 'owner_type' parameter in list_images was enhanced in v0.28.0. Old filter values may not work as expected.

fix

Check the latest API spec for valid owner_type values.

affects: >=0.28.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ibm_vpc'

Package not installed or installed with wrong name.

fix

Run 'pip install ibm-vpc' (hyphen, not underscore).

Unauthorized: Access denied (401)

Invalid API key or missing permissions.

fix

Verify IBM_CLOUD_API_KEY is set correctly and has IAM access to VPC services.

AttributeError: module 'ibm_vpc' has no attribute 'VpcV1'

Incorrect import path after version changes.

fix

Use 'from ibm_vpc import VpcV1' (top-level import).

ibm_cloud_sdk_core.api_exception.ApiException: Error: Resource not found (404)

Service URL or region is incorrect.

fix

Set correct service URL for your region, e.g., service.set_service_url_for_region('us-south').
