Python API documentation
========================

This documentation describes the Glances Python API.

Note: This API is only available in Glances 4.4.0 or higher.


TL;DR
-----

You can access the Glances API by importing the `glances.api` module and creating an
instance of the `GlancesAPI` class. This instance provides access to all Glances plugins
and their fields. For example, to access the CPU plugin and its total field, you can
use the following code:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> from glances import api
    >>> gl = api.GlancesAPI()
    >>> gl.cpu
    {'cpucore': 16,
     'ctx_switches': 950211632,
     'guest': 0.0,
     'idle': 93.3,
     'interrupts': 619970751,
     'iowait': 0.4,
     'irq': 0.0,
     'nice': 0.0,
     'soft_interrupts': 262362166,
     'steal': 0.0,
     'syscalls': 0,
     'system': 4.6,
     'total': 7.9,
     'user': 1.6}
    >>> gl.cpu.get("total")
    7.9
    >>> gl.mem.get("used")
    14060857352
    >>> gl.auto_unit(gl.mem.get("used"))
    13.1G

If the stats return a list of items (like network interfaces or processes), you can
access them by their name:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> gl.network.keys()
    ['wlp0s20f3', 'veth65928bd', 'vethd29cb30']
    >>> gl.network["wlp0s20f3"]
    {'alias': None,
     'bytes_all': 213,
     'bytes_all_gauge': 10622983170,
     'bytes_all_rate_per_sec': 777.0,
     'bytes_recv': 127,
     'bytes_recv_gauge': 9720022882,
     'bytes_recv_rate_per_sec': 463.0,
     'bytes_sent': 86,
     'bytes_sent_gauge': 902960288,
     'bytes_sent_rate_per_sec': 313.0,
     'interface_name': 'wlp0s20f3',
     'key': 'interface_name',
     'speed': 0,
     'time_since_update': 0.27402782440185547}

* percent: The percentage usage calculated as (total - available) / total * 100.
* used: Memory used, calculated differently depending on the platform and designed for informational purposes only.
* free: Memory not being used at all (zeroed) that is readily available; note that this doesn't reflect the actual memory available (use 'available' instead).
* active: *(UNIX)*: memory currently in use or very recently used, and so it is in RAM.
* inactive: *(UNIX)*: memory that is marked as not used.
* buffers: *(Linux, BSD)*: cache for things like file system metadata.
* cached: *(Linux, BSD)*: cache for various things (including ZFS cache).
* wired: *(BSD, macOS)*: memory that is marked to always stay in RAM. It is never moved to disk.
* shared: *(BSD)*: memory that may be simultaneously accessed by multiple processes.
* percent_min: Minimum percent observed since Glances startup.
* percent_max: Maximum percent observed since Glances startup.

Use auto_unit to display a human-readable string with the unit
--------------------------------------------------------------

Use auto_unit() function to generate a human-readable string with the unit:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> gl.mem.get("used")
    14060857352

    >>> gl.auto_unit(gl.mem.get("used"))
    13.1G


Args:

    number (float or int): The numeric value to be converted.

    low_precision (bool, optional): If True, use lower precision for the output. Defaults to False.

    min_symbol (str, optional): The minimum unit symbol to use (e.g., 'K' for kilo). Defaults to 'K'.

    none_symbol (str, optional): The symbol to display if the number is None. Defaults to '-'.

Returns:

    str: A human-readable string representation of the number with units.


Use to display stat as a bar
----------------------------

Use bar() function to generate a bar:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> gl.bar(gl.mem["percent"])
    ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■□□□


Args:

    value (float): The percentage value to represent in the bar (typically between 0 and 100).

    size (int, optional): The total length of the bar in characters. Defaults to 18.

    bar_char (str, optional): The character used to represent the filled portion of the bar. Defaults to '■'.

    empty_char (str, optional): The character used to represent the empty portion of the bar. Defaults to '□'.

    pre_char (str, optional): A string to prepend to the bar. Defaults to ''.

    post_char (str, optional): A string to append to the bar. Defaults to ''.

Returns:

    str: A string representing the progress bar.


Use to display top process list
-------------------------------

Use top_process() function to generate a list of top processes sorted by CPU or MEM usage:

Args:

    limit (int, optional): The maximum number of top processes to return. Defaults to 3.

    sorted_by (str, optional): The primary key to sort processes by (e.g., 'cpu_percent').
                                Defaults to 'cpu_percent'.

    sorted_by_secondary (str, optional): The secondary key to sort processes by if primary keys are equal
                                            (e.g., 'memory_percent'). Defaults to 'memory_percent'.

Returns:

    list: A list of dictionaries representing the top processes, excluding those with 'glances' in their
            command line.

Note:

    The 'glances' process is excluded from the returned list to avoid self-generated CPU load affecting
    the results.
