# prisma-sase — Python3 SDK for the Prisma SASE AppFabric

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 85.3K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is a Python SDK for Palo Alto Networks' Prisma SASE platform, designed as a lightweight wrapper around the AppFabric API. It abstracts HTTP communication and authentication (including SAML2.0 and multi-service-provider flows) so developers can interact with Prisma SASE programmatically without building raw API calls. The SDK is maintained by Palo Alto Networks and tracks controller releases closely, with the current version supporting the July 2026 controller release.

The package requires an active Prisma SASE account and knowledge of JSON/dictionary objects for POST/PUT/PATCH operations. It exposes API methods through an object hierarchy (e.g., `sdk.get.sites()`, `sdk.interactive.login_secret()`) and includes a JSON pretty-printer utility. The SDK is production-stable according to its classifier, though the current release is marked as beta (b1).

Use it for:

- Automate Prisma SASE site and network configuration management from Python scripts or applications.
- Build monitoring dashboards that pull real-time data from Prisma SASE AppFabric via programmatic API access.
- Integrate Prisma SASE provisioning into CI/CD pipelines or infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Develop custom security policy enforcement tools that query and update Prisma SASE rules programmatically.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Lightweight Python SDK wrapper for the Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE API, enabling programmatic access to AppFabric configuration and management.

Yes, if you have an active Prisma SASE account and need programmatic access to its API. The package is actively maintained, recently updated, permissively licensed, and has no known vulnerabilities. High install friction (source distribution, external dependencies) is a minor drawback but not a blocker. The beta designation on this release warrants checking release notes before production deployment.

## Install

pip install prisma-sase
uv add prisma-sase
poetry add prisma-sase

## Installing prisma-sase

Before you install: High install friction due to source distribution format. Package is actively maintained with recent release (23 days old) and supports Python 3.7–3.12. Requires external dependencies: requests, websockets >= 8.1, and urllib3 >= 2.0.0.

License in practice: MIT license is permissive and places no restrictions on use, modification, or distribution in commercial or private projects.

Quickstart:

pip install prisma-sase

from prisma_sase import API

sdk = API()
sdk.interactive.login_secret(
    client_id='api_user@org.iam.panserviceaccount.com',
    client_secret='secret',
    tsg_id=1111111111
)
result = sdk.get.sites()

Requires an active Prisma SASE account and valid credentials (client_id, client_secret, tsg_id). Minimum Python 3.7 required.

Verify before relying:

- Whether websockets >= 8.1 and urllib3 >= 2.0.0 are declared as explicit package dependencies or only documented as requirements.
- Whether the beta version (b1) designation indicates API stability or ongoing changes that may affect compatibility.
