ecsapi

What it is and what it does

ecsapi is a Python SDK that wraps the Seeweb ECS (Elastic Cloud Server) API, allowing developers to programmatically manage cloud infrastructure. It provides a client interface for server lifecycle operations (creation, fetching, updating, deletion, power control), template management, SSH key handling, and metadata queries like available plans and regions. The package depends on pydantic for data validation, requests for HTTP communication, and python-dotenv for environment configuration.

The SDK covers most production-ready operations but has a backlog of incomplete features (snapshots, networking, billing, API tokens). It targets Python 3.8–3.12 and uses a straightforward request-response pattern, making it suitable for automation scripts, infrastructure-as-code workflows, and integration with deployment pipelines that need to interact with Seeweb's cloud platform.

Use it for:

• Automate server provisioning and teardown in CI/CD pipelines targeting Seeweb infrastructure.
• Build infrastructure-as-code tooling that manages templates, scripts, and SSH keys across multiple Seeweb accounts.
• Query available plans, regions, and images to dynamically select resources based on application requirements.
• Implement monitoring or cost-management scripts that fetch server status and perform bulk operations like power cycling.
• Integrate Seeweb cloud management into a multi-cloud orchestration layer or custom admin dashboard.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

An SDK for managing Seeweb ECS cloud infrastructure through Python, providing methods to create, fetch, update, and delete servers, templates, scripts, SSH keys, and related cloud resources.

Yes, with conditions. The package is stable and permissively licensed, with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. However, maintenance is aging (323 days since latest release), and several features remain incomplete. Install it if you are actively using Seeweb ECS and need programmatic control; avoid it if you require cutting-edge updates or features marked incomplete in the roadmap.

Install

ecsapi on PyPI

pip install ecsapi

uv add ecsapi

poetry add ecsapi

Installing ecsapi

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. Maintenance status is aging—last commit was 2025-10-22 and the package is 323 days past its latest release, though the repository remains active and not archived.

License in practice

Released under the Unlicense (public domain), permitting unrestricted use, modification, and distribution for any purpose without warranty or liability.

Quickstart

pip install ecsapi

import os
from ecsapi import EcsApiClient

client = EcsApiClient(api_key=os.getenv('SEEWEB_API_KEY'))
servers = client.fetch_servers()

Requires a Seeweb API key; Python 3.9 or later.

Verify before relying

• Whether the package is actively maintained or in maintenance-only mode given the 323-day gap since latest release.
• Authentication mechanism and whether environment variables or config files are the primary setup method.
• Whether incomplete features (marked unchecked in the description) will be added or if the SDK is feature-complete as-is.
