title: APIClient
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
The `APIClient` class provides a Pythonic interface to access ClearML's backend REST API. It is a convenient low-level access tool.
|
||
Through an `APIClient` instance, you can access ClearML’s REST API services:
|
||
* [authentication](../references/api/login.md) - Authentication management, authorization and administration for the entire system
|
||
* [debug](../references/api/debug.md) - Debugging utilities
|
||
* [projects](../references/api/projects.md) - Support for defining Projects containing tasks, models, datasets, and/or pipelines
|
||
* [queues](../references/api/queues.md) - [Queue](../fundamentals/agents_and_queues.md) management API
|
||
* [workers](../references/api/workers.md) - API for worker machines to report status and retrieve tasks for execution.
|
||
* [events](../references/api/events.md) - Event (e.g. metrics, debug samples) reporting and retrieval API
|
||
* [models](../references/api/models.md) - Model management API
|
||
* [tasks](../references/api/tasks.md) - [Task](../fundamentals/task.md) Management API
|
||
|
||
## Using APIClient
|
||
|
||
`APIClient` makes the ClearML Server’s REST API endpoints available as Python methods.
|
||
|
||
To use `APIClient`, create an instance of it then call the method corresponding to the desired REST API endpoint, with
|
||
its respective parameters as described in the [REST API reference page](../references/api/index.md).
|
||
|
||
For example, the [`POST/ projects.get_all`](../references/api/projects.md#post-projectsget_all) call returns all projects
|
||
in your workspace. The following code uses APIClient to retrieve a list of all projects whose name starts with "example."
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from clearml.backend_api.session.client import APIClient
|
||
# Create an instance of APIClient
|
||
client = APIClient()
|
||
project_list = client.projects.get_all(name="example*")
|
||
print(project_list)
|
||
``` |
