library1.7pypiunverified

The `webexteamssdk` is a community-developed Python SDK for interacting with the Webex Teams (now Webex App) APIs. While it achieved its last official release at v1.7, the project has been superseded by `webexpythonsdk` since October 2022, which is now the actively maintained version. Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to `webexpythonsdk` for new projects and ongoing development.

WebexTeamsAPI

✓ from webexteamssdk import WebexTeamsAPI

✗ from webexpythonsdk import WebexTeamsAPI

`webexpythonsdk` is the successor library, but this entry is for `webexteamssdk`.

Demonstrates initializing the API with an access token (expected via environment variable) and fetching information about the authenticated user and their rooms.

import os from webexteamssdk import WebexTeamsAPI # Initialize the API connection # By default, the SDK looks for a WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable. # Ensure your Webex access token is set in your environment. access_token = os.environ.get('WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN', '') if not access_token: print("Error: WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable not set.") print("Please get a token from developer.webex.com/my-apps and set it.") else: try: api = WebexTeamsAPI(access_token=access_token) # Get details about the authenticated user me = api.people.me() print(f"Authenticated as: {me.displayName} (ID: {me.id})") # List up to 5 rooms (spaces) print("\nMy Spaces (max 5):") for room in api.rooms.list(max=5): print(f"- {room.title} (ID: {room.id})") except Exception as e: print(f"An error occurred: {e}") if "401 Unauthorized" in str(e) or "access token" in str(e): print("Please verify your WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN is valid and not expired.")

Debug

Known issues

breaking`webexteamssdk` is officially deprecated. The maintainers have replaced it with `webexpythonsdk` (available via `pip install webexpythonsdk`). While functionally similar, `webexpythonsdk` requires Python 3.10+ and uses a different package name.

fix

Migrate your project to `webexpythonsdk`. Update your `requirements.txt` and import statements (e.g., `from webexpythonsdk import WebexTeamsAPI`). Review `webexpythonsdk` documentation for any minor API changes.

affects: All versions of `webexteamssdk` (v1.x)

gotchaThe original GitHub repository `CiscoDevNet/webexteamssdk` is no longer actively maintained. All new development and bug fixes are happening in the `WebexCommunity/WebexPythonSDK` repository, which corresponds to the `webexpythonsdk` package.

fix

For support, issues, or contributions, refer to the `webexpythonsdk` project's GitHub repository. Do not open issues on the `CiscoDevNet/webexteamssdk` repo.

affects: All versions

gotchaAPI access requires an access token. The SDK primarily expects it via the `WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable. Misconfiguration often leads to `401 Unauthorized` errors.

fix

Ensure `WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN` is correctly set in your environment with a valid token from developer.webex.com/my-apps. If providing explicitly, pass `access_token='YOUR_TOKEN'` to `WebexTeamsAPI()`.

affects: All versions

gotchaWebex APIs are rate-limited. While `webexteamssdk` has some retry mechanisms, intensive use might hit limits. Malformed `Retry-After` headers from the API could historically cause crashes (fixed in `webexpythonsdk` v2.0.5).

fix

Implement robust error handling for `ApiError` exceptions. Consider adding delays between consecutive API calls, or migrate to `webexpythonsdk` which has improved rate limit handling.

affects: All versions of `webexteamssdk`
