Azure Purview Workflow Service client library for Python - version 1.0.0b2

Workflows are automated, repeatable business processes that users can create within Microsoft Purview to validate and orchestrate CUD (create, update, delete) operations on their data entities. Enabling these processes allow organizations to track changes, enforce policy compliance, and ensure quality data across their data landscape.

Use the client library for Purview Workflow to:

  • Manage workflows
  • Submit user requests and monitor workflow runs
  • View and respond to workflow tasks

For more details about how to use workflow, please refer to the service documentation

Getting started

Prequisites

Authentication

To authenticate with AAD, you must first pip install azure-identity

After setup, you can choose which type of credential from azure.identity to use. For Workflow service, it is recommended that use the UsernamePasswordCredential to authenticate the client:

Set the values of client ID and tenant ID of the AAD application, set the values username and password of the AAD user as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, USERNAME and PASSWORD

Use the returned token credential to authenticate the client:

from azure.purview.workflow import PurviewWorkflowClient
from azure.identity import UsernamePasswordCredential
username = os.getenv("USERNAME")
password = os.getenv("PASSWORD")
client_id = os.getenv("AZURE_CLIENT_ID")
tenant_id = os.getenv("AZURE_TENANT_ID")
credential = UsernamePasswordCredential(client_id=client_id, username=username, password=password, tenant_id=tenant_id)
client = PurviewWorkflowClient(endpoint='<endpoint>', credential=credential)

Examples

The following section shows you how to initialize and authenticate your client, then list all workflows.

List All Workflows

from azure.purview.workflow import PurviewWorkflowClient
from azure.identity import UsernamePasswordCredential
username = os.getenv("USERNAME")
password = os.getenv("PASSWORD")
client_id = os.getenv("AZURE_CLIENT_ID")
tenant_id = os.getenv("AZURE_TENANT_ID")
credential = UsernamePasswordCredential(client_id=client_id, username=username, password=password, tenant_id=tenant_id)
client = PurviewWorkflowClient(endpoint='<endpoint>', credential=credential)
try:
    response = client.workflows.list()
    for item in response:
    print(item)
except HttpResponseError as e:
    print('service responds error: {}'.format(e.response.json()))
