RSConnect

✓ from rsconnect import RSConnect

✗ from rsconnect.api import RSConnect

Initialize RSConnect client with server URL and API key from environment variable.

from rsconnect.api import RSConnect # Replace with your server URL and API key server = RSConnect( server='https://connect.example.com', api_key=os.environ.get('CONNECT_API_KEY', ''), ) # Get server info info = server.server_info() print(info)

rsconnect --version

Known issues

breakingIn version 1.28.0, the `--python` flag behavior changed: it now uses the Python interpreter from the environment, not the one passed to the flag. Use `--python` only to specify a custom Python binary, not to set the environment.

fix

Ensure your environment uses the correct Python interpreter. If necessary, set the `CONNECT_PYTHON` environment variable instead of relying on the flag.

affects: >=1.28.0

deprecatedThe `rsconnect write-manifest` command is deprecated in favor of `rsconnect manifest`.

fix

Replace `rsconnect write-manifest` with `rsconnect manifest` in your workflows.

affects: >=1.20.0

gotchaIf your content uses environment variables, they must be defined on the Posit Connect server under the content's 'Vars' tab. The `rsconnect deploy` command does not read local .env files.

fix

Set required environment variables in the Posit Connect dashboard after deployment, or use the `rsconnect environment` command to set them programmatically.

affects: all

gotchaThe `rsconnect deploy` command by default tries to download dependencies (like pip install). If your environment has network restrictions, use `--no-dependencies` or pre-build the environment.

fix

Use `rsconnect deploy --no-dependencies` to skip dependency resolution, or use `rsconnect write-manifest` and manually upload the bundle.

affects: all
