Veeam Backup & Replication Python API Wrapper (Beta)

Hi all 👋,

After yesterday’s post about a beta release of a VSPC Python package that acts as a REST API wrapper, I’m back today with the same but for Veeam Backup & Replication this time. Thanks again to ​@mkevenaar for his assistance in making this happen!

This project brings the same philosophy and structure to VBR automation: typed, versioned, reusable Python clients generated directly from Veeam’s own API specs.

This is the first public beta release, and the official unveiling of the project.

What it does

veeam-br:

✅ is generated from Veeam’s official OpenAPI specs
✅ provides versioned client modules (currently v1_3_rev1)
✅ supports both synchronous and asynchronous API calls
✅ exposes models and endpoints as real Python objects
✅ is suitable for scripts, jobs, or full applications

Example usage:

from veeam_br.v1_3_rev1 import Client
from veeam_br.v1_3_rev1.api.login import create_token
from veeam_br.v1_3_rev1.models.token_login_spec import TokenLoginSpec
from veeam_br.v1_3_rev1.models.e_login_grant_type import ELoginGrantType

client = Client(base_url="https://vbr.example.com:9419", verify_ssl=False)

body = TokenLoginSpec(
    grant_type=ELoginGrantType.PASSWORD,
    username="administrator",
    password="SuperSecret"
)

with client:
    token = create_token.sync(client=client, body=body, x_api_version="1.3-rev1")

auth_client = AuthenticatedClient(
    base_url=client._base_url,
    token=token.access_token,
    verify_ssl=client._verify_ssl,
)
# Now you can call other endpoints with auth_client…

Current status

• Supported API Version: VBR REST API 1.3-rev1 (Veeam Backup & Replication 13.0.1.180)
• Generated from OpenAPI schemas
• Offers both sync and async interfaces
• Open source — Apache-2.0 license

This beta should cover the full API surface for the supported version, but real-world validation and feedback are what make a 1.0 release strong.

Expect rapid iteration and improvements based on use cases from the community.

How to try it

Install via pip:

pip install veeam-br

Who this is for

• Engineers automating VBR reporting

• MSPs building internal tooling

• Service providers integrating VBR into portals

• Anyone tired of writing ad-hoc REST scripts

• Python users who want a reusable, generated client

What I’m looking for

Since this is brand new, I’m actively looking for:

• feedback on API usability

• requests for missing endpoints or coverage gaps

• schema/version needs

• early pull requests

• real-world use cases to prioritize

Your feedback will directly shape the 1.0 release.

Disclaimer

This is a community project, not an official Veeam product or R&D deliverable.
It’s open source, Apache-2.0 licensed, and maintained in the open.

If you automate around VBR and Python, I’d love your input — this is the kind of tool that gets better fast with community feedback.

Happy automating 🚀
