Connection

Connection

Manages authenticated connections to the Fiddler platform.

The Connection class handles all aspects of connecting to and communicating with the Fiddler platform, including authentication, HTTP client management, server version compatibility checking, and organization context management.

This class provides the foundation for all API interactions with Fiddler, managing connection parameters, authentication tokens, and ensuring proper communication protocols are established.

Example

# Creating a basic connection
connection = Connection(
    url="https://your-instance.fiddler.ai",
    token="your-auth-token"
)

# Creating a connection with custom timeout and proxy
connection = Connection(
    url="https://your-instance.fiddler.ai",
    token="your-auth-token",
    timeout=(5.0, 30.0),  # (connect_timeout, read_timeout)
    proxies={"https": "https://proxy.company.com:8080"}
)

# Creating a connection without SSL verification
connection = Connection(
    url="https://your-instance.fiddler.ai",
    token="your-auth-token",
    verify=False,  # Not recommended for production
    validate=False  # Skip version compatibility check
)

Initialize a connection to the Fiddler platform.
