  IMPORTANT:

  The use of encryption to protect external connections to your deployment is a security best practice and strongly recommended. For instructions for adding TLS encryption to the connection shown here, see Securing the DB-API Connection with TLS.

  Use the code below to connect to InterSystems Cloud Services using variables or a connection string.

  Using Variables

  import iris
   
  def main():
      host = "localhost"
      port = 1972
      namespace = "USER"
      username = "SQLAdmin"
      password = "deployment-password"
   
      connection = iris.connect(host, port, namespace, username, password)
   
      # when finished, use the line below to close the connection
      # connection.close()
   
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      main()
  

  Using a Connection String

  import iris
   
  def main():
      connection_string = "localhost:1972/USER"
      username = "SQLAdmin"
      password = "deployment-password"
   
      connection = iris.connect(connection_string, username, password)
   
      # when finished, use the line below to close the connection
      # connection.close()
   
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      main()
