rsconnect-python
The Posit Connect command-line interface
rsconnect-python is a command-line interface for deploying and managing Python applications on Posit Connect servers. It enables developers to publish Shiny apps and other Python content directly from the terminal.
The package streamlines deployment workflows by handling authentication, content uploading, and server communication. It supports credential management for multiple servers, making it straightforward to deploy the same application to different environments like staging and production. The CLI provides a simple interface that integrates into existing Python development workflows without requiring a web browser.

How to write and deploy a Python web app with Shiny Express and Posit Team
Winston Chang at Posit joined us to share a quicker and simpler way of writing Shiny applications in Python, called Shiny Express
With Shiny Express you can create interactive data dashboards and data-driven applications faster than ever.

What will you learn? If you’re new to Shiny → you’ll get started writing and deploying your first Shiny Express application in Python.
If you already know Shiny → you’ll see how Shiny Express can make your development experience quicker and more efficient.
Happy with the way things are? No need to change what you’re doing! We think of Shiny Express and Shiny Core as complementary, and intend to support both syntaxes indefinitely. Last month’s Workflow with Posit Team Demo featured Shiny in R and used bslib for custom theming, which you can check out here in the recording: https://youtu.be/O6WLERr5bKU?feature=shared
LIVE Q&A ROOM for ~11:30 am on Feb 28th: https://youtube.com/live/zg4LP4lkihM?feature=share
There is no need to register; join us here on YouTube at the time above or you can add to your calendar using the link below:

We host these Workflow Demos on the last Wednesday of every month, so you can use the link above to add the recurring event as well.

Shiny Usage Tracking in Posit Connect
🤔 Who actually used my Shiny app and for how long? ↗️ Is viewership increasing? Did my CEO use it?!
Did you know? Posit Connect can record event-style usage information which is intended to answer questions like this and is accessed via the Posit Connect Server API.
Please note: during the meetup you can ask questions here anonymously as well: rstd.io/connect-meetup-questions
We will walk through several examples for getting started with the Posit Connect usage data designed to help you answer questions like:
Who is visiting my content? What reports are most common? Has viewership increased over time?
During/after the meetup, you can use the GitHub repo to create the dashboard in your own Connect environment as well and schedule the report to be distributed through email (with inline graphics). The goal for this code is that it is generic enough so that you can copy/paste it into your own R session and run it successfully.
In order for the code to work in your environment, you need two pieces of information unique to your enterprise: Posit Connect’s server path A Posit Connect API Key
We’d love to hear your feedback and learn how you have taken this API and created dashboards for your own organizations as well.
