Working with Redmine with python-redmine

I think many of you know what is Redmine. Target of this article is to show how to use python-redmine library for managing Redmine web instance via REST api. Sure you can use parsing with BeautifulSoup or like that but better to use official methods. Also you can use other alternative pyredminews etc.

So as usual first of all you need to install library:

# pip install python-redmine

Using of this library is pretty easy:


requests={'verify': False} is for bad ssl certificate installed on https://redmine.example.com

Result of script's work:
