RestClient
✓ from RestClient import RestClient
✗ from dbs.apis.dbsClient import DBSClient

Initialize DBSReader with production URL and fetch dataset summary.

from dbs.apis.dbsClient import DBSReader import os # Example: fetch dataset summary by dataset reader = DBSReader(url="https://cmsweb.cern.ch/dbs/prod/global/DBSReader") dataset = "/Sample/Sample-4342-0003/GEN-SIM" summary = reader.listDatasetSummary(dataset=dataset) print(summary)
Debug
Known issues
gotchaThe DBSClient and DBSReader classes are not thread-safe. Do not share instances across threads without locks.
fix
Create a new client instance per thread or use threading locks.
affects: all
deprecatedThe 'dbs.apis.dbsClient' API is gradually being replaced by REST-based clients. Check for 'DBS3Client' or direct REST calls in newer releases.
fix
Monitor release notes for deprecation timelines and migrate to REST.
affects: >=3.18.0
gotchaThe library uses pycurl under the hood; ensure that the system has libcurl installed and pycurl is compiled with SSL support to avoid connection errors.
fix
Install pycurl with SSL support, e.g., 'PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl pip install pycurl'.
