adderlib

adderlib is an unofficial python implementation of the Adder API, for use with Adderlink KVM systems.

With adderlib, you can:

• Log in or out as an existing KVM user
• Query lists of transmitters, receivers, and channels available to the user
• Access many properties of the KVM devices
• Connect receivers to channels
• Manage presets

...and so much more! Well, a little bit more.

Getting Started

The best way to get started is to check out the examples, and then the official documentation on ReadTheDocs. But in general, it's four easy steps:

from adderlib import adder

# Step 1: Create a handle to the API by passing the IP address or hostname of the AIM (the KVM server)
api = adder.AdderAPI("192.168.1.10")

# Step 2: Log in using an exising KVM account
api.login("username","password")

# Step 3: Do some stuff
for tx in api.getTransmitters():
  do_some_stuff(tx)
  
# Step 4: Don't forget to log out!
api.logout()

Customizable

Boy oh boy is this customizable! An UrlHandler abstract class is provided. Subclass this and override the api_call() method to communicate with the server however you wish! I sure spent a lot of time on the default RequestsHandler class, which uses the requests library but that's ok I'm sure you have your reasons.
