Getting started

Prerequisites

Python 3.6 or later is required to use this package.
You must have an Azure subscription
A deployed Communication Services resource. You can use the Azure Portal or the Azure PowerShell to set it up.

Install the package

Install the Azure Communication Identity client library for Python with pip: Install the Azure Communication Relay Client library for Python with pip:

pip install azure-communication-identity
pip install azure-communication-networktraversal

Key concepts

Examples

Initializing Relay Client

The following section provides code snippets covering some of the most common Azure Communication Network Traversal tasks, including:

Getting the relay configuration

# You can find your endpoint and access token from your resource in the Azure Portal
import os
from azure.communication.networktraversal import CommunicationRelayClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.communication.identity import CommunicationIdentityClient

connection_str = "endpoint=ENDPOINT;accessKey=KEY"
endpoint = "https://<RESOURCE_NAME>.communication.azure.com"

# To use Azure Active Directory Authentication (DefaultAzureCredential) make sure to have
# AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID and AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET as env variables.
# We also need Identity client to get a User Identifier
identity_client = CommunicationIdentityClient(endpoint, DefaultAzureCredential())
relay_client = CommunicationRelayClient(endpoint, DefaultAzureCredential())

#You can also authenticate using your connection string

identity_client = CommunicationIdentityClient.from_connection_string(self.connection_string)
relay_client = CommunicationRelayClient.from_connection_string(self.connection_string)

Getting the relay configuration providing a user

# We need a user from Identity
user = identity_client.create_user()
relay_configuration = relay_client.get_relay_configuration(user=user)

for iceServer in config.ice_servers:
    assert iceServer.username is not None
    print('Username: ' + iceServer.username)

    assert iceServer.credential is not None
    print('Credential: ' + iceServer.credential)
    
    assert iceServer.urls is not None
    for url in iceServer.urls:
        print('Url:' + url)

Getting the relay configuration without providing a user

relay_configuration = relay_client.get_relay_configuration()

for iceServer in config.ice_servers:
    assert iceServer.username is not None
    print('Username: ' + iceServer.username)

    assert iceServer.credential is not None
    print('Credential: ' + iceServer.credential)
    
    assert iceServer.urls is not None
    for url in iceServer.urls:
        print('Url:' + url)

Getting the relay configuration without providing a RouteType

# We need a user from Identity
user = identity_client.create_user()
relay_configuration = relay_client.get_relay_configuration(user=user, route_type=RouteType.NEAREST)

for iceServer in config.ice_servers:
    assert iceServer.username is not None
    print('Username: ' + iceServer.username)

    assert iceServer.credential is not None
    print('Credential: ' + iceServer.credential)
    
    assert iceServer.urls is not None
    for url in iceServer.urls:
        print('Url:' + url)

Troubleshooting

The Azure Communication Relay client will raise exceptions defined in Azure Core.
