Create an account filter with Python

The functions in the Python code snippets assume that you have:

1. Imported the necessary modules. You may not need all of the modules shown here. If the code below doesn't use the module, you can omit it.
2. Created and edited an .env file that contains your authentication values. You can get a sample.env file from the Media Services Python samples.
3. Read and instantiated environment variables by using load_env() as below. Depending on what you are doing, you may or may not need some of the variables.
4. Created a Media Services client as below.

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.media import AzureMediaServices
from azure.mgmt.media.models import (
    AccountFilter,
    FirstQuality,
    AssetFilter
)
import os

# Get environment variables
load_dotenv()

subscription_id = os.getenv("SUBSCRIPTIONID")
account_name=os.getenv("ACCOUNTNAME")
resource_group_name=os.getenv("RESOURCEGROUP")
client_id = os.getenv("AZURE_CLIENT_ID")
storage_account_name=os.getenv("STORAGEACCOUNTNAME")

# Create the Media Services client and authenticate using the DefaultAzureCredential
default_credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = AzureMediaServices(default_credential, subscription_id)

# Set the name of the Account filter you want to create
filter_name = "myaccountfiltername"

# Set the properties that you want to set for the account filter
# For this sample, we want to add the first quality bitrate for the account filter.
first_quality = FirstQuality(bitrate=128000)
account_filter = AccountFilter(first_quality=first_quality)
# From SDK:
# create_or_update(resource_group_name: str, account_name: str, filter_name: str, parameters: azure.mgmt.media.models._models_py3.AccountFilter, **kwargs: Any) -> azure.mgmt.media.models._models_py3.AccountFilter
def create_account_filter(resource_group_name, account_name, filter_name, parameters):
    client.account_filters.create_or_update(resource_group_name, account_name, filter_name, parameters)
    
create_account_filter(resource_group_name, account_name, filter_name, account_filter)
