pyOFSC

Oracle Fusion Field Service (formerly Oracle Field Service Cloud, formerly ETAdirect) is a cloud-based field service management platform for scheduling, dispatching, and managing mobile workforces.

pyOFSC is a Python wrapper for its REST API, providing both synchronous and asynchronous clients with Pydantic model-based validation. See the official Oracle Fusion Field Service documentation for API details.

Async Client

Starting with version 2.19, pyOFSC includes an async client (AsyncOFSC) that provides asynchronous API access using httpx and Python's async/await patterns.

Implementation Status: The async client is being implemented progressively. Currently available async methods are marked with [Sync & Async] tags in docs/ENDPOINTS.md.

Usage Example

from ofsc.async_client import AsyncOFSC
async with AsyncOFSC(clientID="...", secret="...", companyName="...") as client:
    workzones = await client.metadata.get_workzones()

Key Features

• Async/Await Support: Full async/await pattern support for non-blocking I/O
• Same Models: Reuses all existing Pydantic models from the sync version
• Context Manager: Must be used as an async context manager to properly manage HTTP client lifecycle
• Simplified API: Async methods always return Pydantic models (no response_type parameter)
• Request/Response Logging: Optional httpx event hooks for automatic API call tracing
• Async Generators: Lazy pagination helpers that yield individual items across all pages (e.g. get_all_workzones, get_all_resources) [Async]

Enabling Request/Response Logging

Pass enable_logging=True to automatically log all HTTP requests and responses via Python's standard logging:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

async with AsyncOFSC(clientID="...", secret="...", companyName="...", enable_logging=True) as client:
    workzones = await client.metadata.get_workzones()
    # DEBUG: Request: GET https://company.fs.ocs.oraclecloud.com/rest/ofscMetadata/v1/workZones
    # DEBUG: Response: GET https://company.fs.ocs.oraclecloud.com/rest/ofscMetadata/v1/workZones 200

Logs are emitted under the ofsc.async_client logger. HTTP errors (4xx/5xx) are also logged at WARNING level. Disabled by default with zero overhead.

Models

All API entities use Pydantic v2 models. See ofsc/models/ for available models.

Testing

pyOFSC includes a comprehensive test suite with 500+ tests. Tests run in parallel by default using pytest-xdist for 10x faster execution.

Running Tests

# Run all tests (parallel for safe tests, sequential for serial tests)
uv run pytest

# Run tests with specific number of workers
uv run pytest -n 4 -m "not serial"

# Run all tests sequentially (disable parallel execution)
uv run pytest -n 0

# Run only serial tests (sequential execution)
uv run pytest -m serial -n 0

# Run only mocked tests (no API credentials needed)
uv run pytest -m "not uses_real_data"

# Run specific test file
uv run pytest tests/async/test_async_workzones.py

Note: By default, tests marked with @pytest.mark.serial are excluded from parallel execution to prevent conflicts when modifying shared API state. To run all tests including serial ones, use: uv run pytest -m "" -n auto && uv run pytest -m serial -n 0

Test Requirements

• Mocked tests: No special requirements, use saved API responses
• Live tests (marked with @pytest.mark.uses_real_data): Require API credentials in .env file:

  OFSC_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
  OFSC_COMPANY=your_company
  OFSC_CLIENT_SECRET=your_secret
  

Test Markers

• @pytest.mark.uses_real_data - Tests that require API credentials
• @pytest.mark.serial - Tests that must run sequentially (automatically excluded from parallel execution)
• @pytest.mark.slow - Slow-running tests
• @pytest.mark.integration - Integration tests

Implemented Functions

195 async endpoints (80% coverage) and 89 sync endpoints (37% coverage) across Core, Metadata, Capacity, Statistics, and Auth modules.

See docs/ENDPOINTS.md for the full implementation status table.

Usage Examples

Sync:

from ofsc import OFSC
instance = OFSC(clientID="...", secret="...", companyName="...")
workzones = instance.metadata.get_workzones()

Async:

from ofsc.async_client import AsyncOFSC
async with AsyncOFSC(clientID="...", secret="...", companyName="...") as client:
    workzones = await client.metadata.get_workzones()

See the examples/ directory for comprehensive sync and async usage examples.

Test History

OFS REST API Version	PyOFSC
20C	1.7
21A	1.8, 1.8,1, 1.9
21D	1.15
22B	1.16, 1.17
22D	1.18
24C	2.0
25B	2.12
26A	2.24.0

Future Deprecation Notice - OFSC 3.0

Important: Starting with Oracle Fusion Field Service 3.0, the synchronous client (OFSC) will be deprecated in favor of the async client (AsyncOFSC).

Migration Path

• The async client (AsyncOFSC) is the recommended approach for all new development
• OFSC 3.0 will provide a compatibility wrapper to allow existing synchronous code to continue working without modifications
• The compatibility wrapper will internally use the async client with synchronous adapters
• We recommend gradually migrating to the async client to take advantage of better performance and scalability

Timeline

• OFSC 2.x: Both sync and async clients fully supported
• OFSC 3.0: Sync client deprecated, compatibility wrapper provided
• OFSC 4.0: Sync client may be removed (compatibility wrapper will remain for at least one major version)
