> Via cli, i do radosgw user info --uid=xxx > but with the REST API ? Hi Alexis, Here is a simple python example on how to use the admin api. You will need to get a few packages from the cheese shop (virtualenv + pip makes this easy). pip install requests-aws You will also need to set the appropriate key, secret and server for your local instance. If you have changed where the admin api lives in the URI for your radosgw (/admin/ by default) you will need to update that. You will also need to ensure you set the appropriate 'caps' on the radosgw for what information you are looking for. Initially this is done with the 'radosgw-admin caps add' command. The current supported caps are buckets, metadata, usage and users. You can have either read, write or * (both). radosgw-admin caps add --uid=test --caps="users=*" The last thing you need to understand is that you have to sign each request in the same way you would a S3 request (S3Auth in the following example). import requests import logging from awsauth import S3Auth logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG) aws_key = 'DFJKJDKLSsdafd321s' secret = 'j23141kjalJLKDFDM:FDFD+dfDKJHNK' server = 'radosgw.example.com' url = 'https://%s/admin/user?format=json&uid=test' % server r = requests.get(url, auth=S3Auth(aws_key, secret, server)) print r.content This produces something that should look like this, INFO:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTPS connection (1): radosgw.example.com DEBUG:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:"GET /admin/user?format=json&uid=test HTTP/1.1" 200 None {"user_id":"test","display_name":"Testing","email":"","suspended":0,"max_buckets":1000,"subusers":[],"keys":[{"user":"test","access_key":"3FV6LBDJ80D3kI3I9TH8","secret_key":"z+/Rx0Osb3culGMCHL2E3Vg68gpFUSgSxcgf8BG9m"}],"swift_keys":[],"caps":[{"type":"buckets","perm":"*"},{"type":"metadata","perm":"*"},{"type":"usage","perm":"*"},{"type":"users","perm":"*"}]} Thanks, derek -- --- Derek T.
