Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Python API Wrapper (Beta)

​@mkevenaar are back at it again! We’re excited to share a new community-built Python project for automating Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365:

👉 veeam-365

veeam-365 is an independent, open-source Python client for the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API, built to make real-world automation simpler, safer, and reusable across scripts, services, and integrations.

🚀 Why veeam-365 Exists

If you’ve worked with the VB365 REST API directly, you’ve probably dealt with:

• repetitive authentication logic

• manual API version routing

• boilerplate async code

• brittle per-script REST calls

veeam-365 wraps all of that behind a clean Python interface so you can focus on what you’re automating — not how to keep the session alive from call-to-call or release-to-release.

⭐ Recommended Usage: The Smart Client

The core of this project is the Smart Client (VeeamClient).

This client handles:

• API version routing (v6, v7, v8)

• authentication and token refresh

• async execution

• clean lifecycle management (connect / close)

This Smart Client model did not exist when we originally published veeam-br, but I’m happy to report that we have added similar functionality to that package as well!

🧠 Supported Versions

Each API version is generated from official OpenAPI schemas and mapped explicitly.

🧪 Example Usage

Create and connect a Smart Client

import asyncio
from veeam_365.client import VeeamClient

async def main():
    vc = VeeamClient(
        host="https://vb365.example.com:4443",
        username="administrator",
        password="SuperSecretPassword",
        verify_ssl=False,
        api_version="v8"
    )

    await vc.connect()

    # use the client...

    await vc.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Call an API endpoint

repos = await vc.call(
    vc.api("backup_repository").backup_repository_get_repositories
)

for repo in repos.data or []:
    print(repo.name)

📦 Installation

From PyPI:

pip install veeam-365

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/Cenvora/veeam-365.git
cd veeam-365
pip install -e .

🛠 Designed For

veeam-365 is intended for:

• automation and scripting

• internal tooling and portals

• reporting pipelines

• async services and schedulers

• integrations with other Python-based systems

This is not a one-off script repo — it’s a reusable client library designed to speed up your development cycles after product releases and simplify your codebase.

🤝 Contributing

Contributions are welcome.
If you want to add API versions, improve coverage, or tighten the Smart Client behavior, PRs are encouraged.
