  description: '# Python client


    Foxglove provides a Python client library ([`foxglove-client`](https://github.com/foxglove/foxglove-python)) to more easily interact with the Foxglove API.


    The SDK can be downloaded from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/foxglove-client/) and source is available on

    [GitHub](https://github.com/foxglove/foxglove-python).


    # Authentication


    All routes excluding the [Site Bucket Notifications endpoint](#tag/Sites/paths/~1site-bucket-notifications/post) require an [API key](/docs/settings#api-keys) with specific capabilities. Only organization admins can create an API key.



    Requests must include the API key in the `Authorization` header as a bearer token:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer fox_sk_1234...

    ```


    Each endpoint in the API reference lists the capabilities required for access. An endpoint with

    Authorizations `ApiKey (devices.list)` would require an api key with the `devices.list`

    capability.


    # Sorting and pagination


    Some GET endpoints support sorting and pagination.


    Where supported, you will see the following

    query parameters in the endpoint documentation:


    * `sortBy` – Field name to sort by (endpoint specific)

    * `sortOrder` – "asc" or "desc"

    * `limit` – Number of records in the response

    * `offset` – Number of records to skip


    If no limit is provided, endpoints will default to a limit of 2000 items. Requesting a limit

    greater than 2000 items will result in a 400 response.


    # Timestamps


    Unless otherwise documented, all timestamp related fields (start, end, created, etc) use the ISO8601 conforming [RFC3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) UTC "Zulu" format.


    In the documentation this will appear as `string` types with `<date-time>` formatting (i.e. `string <date-time>`).


    These timestamps support nanosecond resolution with up to nine fractional digits.


    Examples:

    - 2023-04-06T09:15:30Z

    - 2023-04-06T18:27:45.876543210Z


    > Note: Variants of RFC3339 using durations or offsets which are not conforming to ISO8601 are not supported.


    # Rate limits


    To help ensure responsiveness for all clients, requests to the API may be rate-limited. In this case, a request

    will receive a status code of 429. Your client may refer to headers, such as "Retry-After", to determine when a

    request should be retried.


    In general, if your client experiences an error, you should adjust the rate at which your client makes requests,

    and you may issue retries with a strategy such as exponential backoff.

      description: '**Available on Free, Pro, and Enterprise plans**


        Publish a new [Foxglove extension](https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/extensions)

        or an updated version of an existing extension. When uploaded, the extension will automatically be

        installed for users in your organization.


        See our packaging tool [`create-foxglove-extension`](https://github.com/foxglove/create-foxglove-extension/)

        for more information on how to create an extension.


        Read the [docs](https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/extensions)

        for more information on Foxglove extensions.'
      requestBody:
        description: 'The request headers must contain `Content-Type: application/octet-stream`.

          The request body must contain the contents of your (`.foxe`) extension file.

          All other information about the extension will be parsed from the package.json file.


          **`package.json` requirements**


          An extension is uniquely identified by its publisher and name, which are

          both required in your `package.json`. Both values are case-insensitive,

          so a package named `custompanel` would be the same as one named `CustomPanel`.


          To update an extension, change its version in `package.json`, create a

          new `.foxe` bundle, and upload it via this endpoint. Version numbers must

          be unique to each extension. There are no other restrictions on versioning schemes.


          To publish an extension to your organization, your `package.json` must define

          a `displayName`. This is displayed to users in your organization.


          Once an extension is uploaded, its `displayName` may not be changed by future versions.'
