Verified usage

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

LinodeClient

✓ from linode_api4 import LinodeClient

✗ from linode import LinodeClient

Old library was 'linode' (v3), this is 'linode_api4'.

Initialize client with personal access token and fetch account email.

from linode_api4 import LinodeClient import os client = LinodeClient(os.environ.get('LINODE_TOKEN', '')) print(client.account.email)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPagination is automatic by default, but using `.paginated()` returns a generator; forgetting to iterate may miss results.

fix

Use `for instance in client.linode.instances():` to iterate.

affects: all

gotchaThe `regions` property returns region slugs (e.g., 'us-east'), not full region objects, in many list endpoints.

fix

Access region details via `client.regions()[slug]`.

affects: all

breakingVersion 5.0.0 replaced `linode.objects` with `linode_api4.objects`. Direct imports from old path break.

fix

Update imports to `linode_api4.objects`.

affects: 4.x -> 5.x

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named 'linode'

Trying to import from the old unmaintained 'linode' package.

fix

Install linode-api4 and use `from linode_api4 import LinodeClient`.

AttributeError: 'LinodeClient' object has no attribute 'linode'

Using a very old version (<4.0) where the client didn't have linode attribute; or using wrong import.

fix

Use `client.linode.instances()` after importing from `linode_api4`.
