Page History

...

For this example we'll build a Network Status web page.  This page will be comprised of tables; the first table will summarize group status while the subsequent tables will provide node level details for each group. 

Define modules and variables

This example will utilize the following modules.

• urllib.request - https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html
• http.cookiejar - https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.cookiejar.html
• json - https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html

We also need to define the following variables.

• Protocol (http or https)
• Server
• Username
• Password

#!/usr/bin/python3

import urllib.request, http.cookiejar, json

PROTOCOL = 'https'
SERVER = 'demo.opmantek.com'
USERNAME = 'nmis'

with open('/var/www/opChartsApi.conf', 'r') as confFile:
    USERPASS = confFile.read().strip()
