Usage

Connection

Connect to a renderer backend instance:

import brayns

connector = brayns.Connector('localhost:5000')

with connector.connect() as instance:
    print(brayns.get_version(instance))

Raw requests

Raw JSON-RPC requests can be sent using the instance:

result = instance.request('schema', {'endpoint': 'get-version'})

It will throw a brayns.RequestError if an error occurs.

API

As raw requests can be tedious, a higher level API is also provided.

models = brayns.get_models(instance)
