File contents

Contentstack CDA SDK – Contentstack Python CDA SDK

When to use

Implementing or changing Stack, content-type, query, entry, or asset behavior.
Working with live preview, taxonomy, global fields, variants, or image transforms.
Assessing CDA API alignment or extending the public SDK surface.

Instructions

Stack entry

Stack in contentstack/stack.py: validates api_key, delivery_token, environment; resolves region → host via ContentstackRegion; builds endpoint; wires HTTPSConnection with headers, timeout, urllib3.Retry, and optional live_preview / branch / early_access.

Features

Content types & entries — contenttype.py, entry.py, entryqueryable.py.
Queries — basequery.py, query.py; chain methods align with CDA query parameters.
Assets — asset.py, assetquery.py.
Taxonomy, global fields, variants, image transform — taxonomy.py, globalfields.py, variants.py, image_transform.py.
Sync — Stack.sync_init, pagination, sync_token → /stacks/sync via __sync_request.

Live preview

live_preview dict (enable, host, authorization, etc.) merged in deep_merge_lp.py / stack setup; keep behavior aligned with tests/test_live_preview.py.

HTTP layer

https_connection.py — requests.Session, HTTPAdapter, get_request from controller.py; user-agent uses contentstack.__title__ / __version__.

Extending

Add query or stack methods consistent with CDA query parameters.
Keep transport logic in HTTPSConnection / controller rather than duplicating requests setup.

Dependencies

requests, urllib3 (Retry), python-dateutil
