OrionSDK - Python where to start from

I've been tinkering around with the SDK for while, focusing on Python. I've checked out the Github site: https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python

I've been tinkering with the examples and I've had some good success adding nodes with custom properties. At this point and looking to add some more functionality to the script such as leveraging NCM.

Where can I learn about the verbs or the specific OrionSDK syntax and their args?

I feel like I have missed a very important Wiki somewhere.

Many thanks!

You can find information here:

There's also sample scripts, some of the languages have different samples so I usually check against both Python and Powershell:

Thank you, I found the Schema on WIki and this was extremely helpful.

http://solarwinds.github.io/OrionSDK/2020.2/schema/index.html

I was able to navigate from there and get my initial script up and working.

Adding nodes, interfaces, custom properties, and NCM fucntionality.

One more stupid question, how do I know what the requirements are when calling a verb

for example:

swis.invoke('Cirrus.ConfigArchive', 'DownloadConfig', nodeid, 'Running')

Where in the schema or documentation does it tell me the required verbs/options for for successfully running 'Cirrus.ConfigArchive' ?

I'm not sure I have a great answer, but it looks like you can use Swagger to fill in some of the blanks, it's basically another tab from the Schema, here's a link to the specific section you're talking about:
