Channel abstraction

Parameters:

connection – aio_pika.adapter.AsyncioConnection instance
loop – Event loop (asyncio.get_event_loop() when None)
future_store – aio_pika.common.FutureStore instance
publisher_confirms – False if you don’t need delivery confirmations (in pursuit of performance)

EXCHANGE_CLASS¶: alias of Exchange

QUEUE_CLASS¶: alias of Queue

async declare_exchange(name: str, type: ExchangeType | str = ExchangeType.DIRECT, *, durable: bool = False, auto_delete: bool = False, internal: bool = False, passive: bool = False, arguments: Dict[str, FieldValue] | None = None, timeout: float | int | None = None) → AbstractExchange[source]¶

Declare an exchange.

Parameters:

durable – Durability (exchange survive broker restart)
auto_delete – Delete queue when channel will be closed.
internal – Do not send it to broker just create an object
passive – Do not fail when entity was declared previously but has another params. Raises aio_pika.exceptions.ChannelClosed when exchange doesn’t exist.

async get_exchange(name: str, *, ensure: bool = True) → AbstractExchange[source]¶

With ensure=True, it’s a shortcut for .declare_exchange(..., passive=True); otherwise, it returns an exchange instance without checking its existence.

When the exchange does not exist, if ensure=True, will raise aio_pika.exceptions.ChannelClosed.

Use this method in a separate channel (or as soon as channel created). This is only a way to get an exchange without declaring a new one.

Parameters:

name – exchange name
ensure – ensure that the exchange exists

Returns:

aio_pika.exchange.Exchange instance

Raises:

aio_pika.exceptions.ChannelClosed instance

async get_queue(name: str, *, ensure: bool = True) → AbstractQueue[source]¶

With ensure=True, it’s a shortcut for .declare_queue(..., passive=True); otherwise, it returns a queue instance without checking its existence.

When the queue does not exist, if ensure=True, will raise aio_pika.exceptions.ChannelClosed.

Use this method in a separate channel (or as soon as channel created). This is only a way to get a queue without declaring a new one.

Parameters:

name – queue name
ensure – ensure that the queue exists

Returns:

aio_pika.queue.Queue instance

Raises:

aio_pika.exceptions.ChannelClosed instance

property is_closed: bool¶: Returns True when the channel has been closed from the broker side or after the close() method has been called.

property is_initialized: bool¶: Returns True when the channel has been opened and ready for interaction

Connection abstraction

CHANNEL_CLASS¶: alias of Channel

channel(channel_number: int | None = None, publisher_confirms: bool = True, on_return_raises: bool = False) → AbstractChannel[source]¶

Coroutine which returns new instance of Channel.

Example:

import aio_pika

async def main(loop):
    connection = await aio_pika.connect(
        "amqp://guest:[email protected]/"
    )

    channel1 = connection.channel()
    await channel1.close()

    # Creates channel with specific channel number
    channel42 = connection.channel(42)
    await channel42.close()

    # For working with transactions
    channel_no_confirms = await connection.channel(
        publisher_confirms=False
    )
    await channel_no_confirms.close()

Also available as an asynchronous context manager:

import aio_pika

async def main(loop):
    connection = await aio_pika.connect(
        "amqp://guest:[email protected]/"
    )

    async with connection.channel() as channel:
        # channel is open and available

    # channel is now closed

Parameters:

channel_number – specify the channel number explicit
publisher_confirms – if True the aio_pika.Exchange.publish() method will be return bool after publish is complete. Otherwise the aio_pika.Exchange.publish() method will be return None
on_return_raises – raise an aio_pika.exceptions.DeliveryError when mandatory message will be returned

async connect(timeout: float | int | None = None) → None[source]¶: Connect to AMQP server. This method should be called after aio_pika.connection.Connection.__init__()

Note

This method is called by connect(). You shouldn’t call it explicitly.

class aio_pika.DeliveryMode(value, names=<not given>, *values, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)[source]¶

class aio_pika.Exchange(channel: AbstractChannel, name: str, type: ExchangeType | str = ExchangeType.DIRECT, *, auto_delete: bool = False, durable: bool = False, internal: bool = False, passive: bool = False, arguments: Dict[str, FieldValue] | None = None)[source]¶

Exchange abstraction

async bind(exchange: AbstractExchange | str, routing_key: str = '', *, arguments: Dict[str, FieldValue] | None = None, timeout: float | int | None = None) → BindOk[source]¶

A binding can also be a relationship between two exchanges. This can be simply read as: this exchange is interested in messages from another exchange.

Bindings can take an extra routing_key parameter. To avoid the confusion with a basic_publish parameter we’re going to call it a binding key.

client = await connect()

routing_key = 'simple_routing_key'
src_exchange_name = "source_exchange"
dest_exchange_name = "destination_exchange"

channel = await client.channel()
src_exchange = await channel.declare_exchange(
    src_exchange_name, auto_delete=True
)
dest_exchange = await channel.declare_exchange(
    dest_exchange_name, auto_delete=True
)
queue = await channel.declare_queue(auto_delete=True)

await queue.bind(dest_exchange, routing_key)
await dest_exchange.bind(src_exchange, routing_key)

Parameters:

exchange – aio_pika.exchange.Exchange instance
routing_key – routing key
arguments – additional arguments
timeout – execution timeout

Returns:

None

async delete(if_unused: bool = False, timeout: float | int | None = None) → DeleteOk[source]¶

Delete the queue

Parameters:

timeout – operation timeout
if_unused – perform deletion when queue has no bindings.

async publish(message: AbstractMessage, routing_key: str, *, mandatory: bool = True, immediate: bool = False, timeout: float | int | None = None) → Ack | Nack | Reject | None[source]¶: Publish the message to the queue. aio-pika uses publisher confirms extension for message delivery.

async unbind(exchange: AbstractExchange | str, routing_key: str = '', arguments: Dict[str, FieldValue] | None = None, timeout: float | int | None = None) → UnbindOk[source]¶

Remove exchange-to-exchange binding for this Exchange instance

Parameters:

exchange – aio_pika.exchange.Exchange instance
routing_key – routing key
arguments – additional arguments
timeout – execution timeout

Returns:

None

class aio_pika.ExchangeType(value, names=<not given>, *values, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)[source]¶

class aio_pika.IncomingMessage(message: DeliveredMessage, no_ack: bool = False)[source]¶

Incoming message is seems like Message but has additional methods for message acknowledgement.

Depending on the acknowledgement mode used, RabbitMQ can consider a message to be successfully delivered either immediately after it is sent out (written to a TCP socket) or when an explicit (“manual”) client acknowledgement is received. Manually sent acknowledgements can be positive or negative and use one of the following protocol methods:

basic.ack is used for positive acknowledgements
basic.nack is used for negative acknowledgements (note: this is a RabbitMQ extension to AMQP 0-9-1)
basic.reject is used for negative acknowledgements but has one limitation compared to basic.nack

Positive acknowledgements simply instruct RabbitMQ to record a message as delivered. Negative acknowledgements with basic.reject have the same effect. The difference is primarily in the semantics: positive acknowledgements assume a message was successfully processed while their negative counterpart suggests that a delivery wasn’t processed but still should be deleted.

Create an instance of IncomingMessage

async ack(multiple: bool = False) → None[source]¶

Send basic.ack is used for positive acknowledgements

Note

This method looks like a blocking-method, but actually it just sends bytes to the socket and doesn’t require any responses from the broker.

Parameters:: multiple – If set to True, the message’s delivery tag is treated as “up to and including”, so that multiple messages can be acknowledged with a single method. If set to False, the ack refers to a single message.
Returns:: None

info() → MessageInfo[source]¶: Method returns dict representation of the message

process(requeue: bool = False, reject_on_redelivered: bool = False, ignore_processed: bool = False) → AbstractProcessContext[source]¶

Context manager for processing the message

>>> async def on_message_received(message: IncomingMessage):
...    async with message.process():
...        # When exception will be raised
...        # the message will be rejected
...        print(message.body)

Example with ignore_processed=True

>>> async def on_message_received(message: IncomingMessage):
...    async with message.process(ignore_processed=True):
...        # Now (with ignore_processed=True) you may reject
...        # (or ack) message manually too
...        if True:  # some reasonable condition here
...            await message.reject()
...        print(message.body)

Parameters:

requeue – Requeue message when exception.
reject_on_redelivered – When True message will be rejected only when message was redelivered.
ignore_processed – Do nothing if message already processed

async reject(requeue: bool = False) → None[source]¶

When requeue=True the message will be returned to queue. Otherwise, message will be dropped.

Note

This method looks like a blocking-method, but actually it just sends bytes to the socket and doesn’t require any responses from the broker.

Parameters:: requeue – bool

AMQP message abstraction

Creates a new instance of Message

Parameters:

body – message body
headers – message headers

class aio_pika.Queue(channel: AbstractChannel, name: str | None, durable: bool, exclusive: bool, auto_delete: bool, arguments: Dict[str, FieldValue] | None, passive: bool = False)[source]¶

AMQP queue abstraction

A binding is a relationship between an exchange and a queue. This can be simply read as: the queue is interested in messages from this exchange.

Bindings can take an extra routing_key parameter. To avoid the confusion with a basic_publish parameter we’re going to call it a binding key.

Parameters:

exchange – aio_pika.exchange.Exchange instance
routing_key – routing key
arguments – additional arguments
timeout – execution timeout

Raises:

asyncio.TimeoutError – when the binding timeout period has elapsed.

Returns:

None

async cancel(consumer_tag: str, timeout: float | int | None = None, nowait: bool = False) → CancelOk[source]¶

This method cancels a consumer. This does not affect already delivered messages, but it does mean the server will not send any more messages for that consumer. The client may receive an arbitrary number of messages in between sending the cancel method and receiving the cancel-ok reply. It may also be sent from the server to the client in the event of the consumer being unexpectedly cancelled (i.e. cancelled for any reason other than the server receiving the corresponding basic.cancel from the client). This allows clients to be notified of the loss of consumers due to events such as queue deletion.

Parameters:

consumer_tag – consumer tag returned by consume()
timeout – execution timeout
nowait (bool) – Do not expect a Basic.CancelOk response

Returns:

Basic.CancelOk when operation completed successfully

async consume(callback: Callable[[AbstractIncomingMessage], Awaitable[Any]], no_ack: bool = False, exclusive: bool = False, arguments: Dict[str, FieldValue] | None = None, consumer_tag: str | None = None, timeout: float | int | None = None) → str[source]¶

Start to consuming the Queue.

Parameters:

timeout – asyncio.TimeoutError will be raises when the Future was not finished after this time.
callback – Consuming callback. Should be a coroutine function.
no_ack – if True you don’t need to call aio_pika.message.IncomingMessage.ack()
exclusive – Makes this queue exclusive. Exclusive queues may only be accessed by the current connection, and are deleted when that connection closes. Passive declaration of an exclusive queue by other connections are not allowed.
arguments – additional arguments
consumer_tag – optional consumer tag

Raises:

asyncio.TimeoutError – when the consuming timeout period has elapsed.

Return str:

consumer tag str

async declare(timeout: float | int | None = None) → DeclareOk[source]¶

Declare queue.

Parameters:: timeout – execution timeout
Returns:: None

async delete(*, if_unused: bool = True, if_empty: bool = True, timeout: float | int | None = None) → DeleteOk[source]¶

Delete the queue.

Parameters:

if_unused – Perform delete only when unused
if_empty – Perform delete only when empty
timeout – execution timeout

Returns:

None

async get(*, no_ack: bool = False, fail: Literal[True] = True, timeout: TimeoutType = 5) → IncomingMessage[source]¶

Get message from the queue.

Parameters:

no_ack – if True you don’t need to call aio_pika.message.IncomingMessage.ack()
timeout – execution timeout
fail – Should return None instead of raise an exception aio_pika.exceptions.QueueEmpty.

Returns:

aio_pika.message.IncomingMessage

iterator(**kwargs: Any) → AbstractQueueIterator[source]¶

Returns an iterator for async for expression.

Full example:

import aio_pika

async def main():
    connection = await aio_pika.connect()

    async with connection:
        channel = await connection.channel()

        queue = await channel.declare_queue('test')

        async with queue.iterator() as q:
            async for message in q:
                print(message.body)

When your program runs with run_forever the iterator will be closed in background. In this case the context processor for iterator might be skipped and the queue might be used in the “async for” expression directly.

import aio_pika

async def main():
    connection = await aio_pika.connect()

    async with connection:
        channel = await connection.channel()

        queue = await channel.declare_queue('test')

For an information on what the ssl_options can be set to reference the official Python documentation .

Set connection name for RabbitMQ admin panel:

# As URL parameter method
read_connection = await connect(
    "amqp://guest:guest@localhost/?name=Read%20connection"
)

# keyword method
write_connection = await connect(
    client_properties={
        'connection_name': 'Write connection'
    }
)

URL string might contain ssl parameters e.g. amqps://user:pass@host//?ca_certs=ca.pem&certfile=crt.pem&keyfile=key.pem

Parameters:

client_properties – add custom client capability.
url – RFC3986 formatted broker address. When None will be used keyword arguments.
host – hostname of the broker
port – broker port 5672 by default
login – username string. ‘guest’ by default.
password – password string. ‘guest’ by default.
virtualhost – virtualhost parameter. ‘/’ by default
ssl – use SSL for connection. Should be used with addition kwargs.
ssl_options – A dict of values for the SSL connection.
timeout – connection timeout in seconds
loop – Event loop (asyncio.get_event_loop() when None)
ssl_context – ssl.SSLContext instance
connection_class – Factory of a new connection
kwargs – addition parameters which will be passed to the connection.

Returns:

aio_pika.connection.Connection

aio_pika.patterns.base¶: alias of <module ‘aio_pika.patterns.base’ from ‘/home/runner/work/aio-pika/aio-pika/aio_pika/patterns/base.py’>

class aio_pika.patterns.Master(channel: AbstractChannel, requeue: bool = True, reject_on_redelivered: bool = False)[source]¶

Implements Master/Worker pattern. Usage example:

worker.py

master = Master(channel)
worker = await master.create_worker('test_worker', lambda x: print(x))

master.py

master = Master(channel)
await master.proxy.test_worker('foo')

Creates a new Master instance.

Parameters:: channel – Initialized instance of aio_pika.Channel

async create_task(channel_name: str, kwargs: Mapping[str, Any] = mappingproxy({}), **message_kwargs: Any) → Ack | Nack | Reject | None[source]¶: Creates a new task for the worker

async create_worker(queue_name: str, func: Callable[[...], Awaitable[T]], **kwargs: Any) → Worker[source]¶: Creates a new Worker instance.

deserialize(data: bytes) → Any[source]¶

Deserialize data from bytes. Uses pickle by default. You should overlap this method when you want to change serializer

Parameters:: data – Data which will be deserialized
Returns:: Any

serialize(data: Any) → bytes[source]¶

Serialize data to the bytes. Uses pickle by default. You should overlap this method when you want to change serializer

Parameters:: data – Data which will be serialized
Returns:: bytes

class aio_pika.patterns.Worker(queue: AbstractQueue, consumer_tag: str, loop: AbstractEventLoop)[source]¶

close() → Awaitable[None][source]¶

Cancel subscription to the channel

Returns:: asyncio.Task

class aio_pika.patterns.RPC(channel: AbstractChannel, host_exceptions: bool = False)[source]¶

Remote Procedure Call helper.

Create an instance

rpc = await RPC.create(channel, host_exceptions=False)

Registering python function

# RPC instance passes only keyword arguments
def multiply(*, x, y):
    return x * y

await rpc.register("multiply", multiply)

Call function through proxy

assert await rpc.proxy.multiply(x=2, y=3) == 6

Call function explicit

assert await rpc.call('multiply', dict(x=2, y=3)) == 6

Show exceptions on remote side

rpc = await RPC.create(channel, host_exceptions=True)

async call(method_name: str, kwargs: Dict[str, Any] | None = None, *, expiration: int | None = None, priority: int = 5, delivery_mode: DeliveryMode = DeliveryMode.NOT_PERSISTENT) → Any[source]¶

Call remote method and awaiting result.

Parameters:

method_name – Name of method
kwargs – Methos kwargs
expiration – If not None messages which staying in queue longer will be returned and asyncio.TimeoutError will be raised.
priority – Message priority
delivery_mode – Call message delivery mode

Raises:

asyncio.TimeoutError – when message expired
CancelledError – when called RPC.cancel()
RuntimeError – internal error

async classmethod create(channel: AbstractChannel, **kwargs: Any) → RPC[source]¶

Creates a new instance of aio_pika.patterns.RPC. You should use this method instead of __init__(), because create() returns coroutine and makes async initialize

Parameters:: channel – initialized instance of aio_pika.Channel
Returns:: RPC

async execute(func: Callable[[...], Awaitable[T]], payload: Dict[str, Any]) → T[source]¶: Executes rpc call. Might be overlapped.

async register(method_name: str, func: Callable[[...], Awaitable[T]], **kwargs: Any) → Any[source]¶

Method creates a queue with name which equal of method_name argument. Then subscribes this queue.

Parameters:

method_name – Method name
func – target function. Function MUST accept only keyword arguments.
kwargs – arguments which will be passed to queue_declare

Raises:

RuntimeError – Function already registered in this RPC instance or method_name already used.

serialize_exception(exception: Exception) → Any[source]¶: Make python exception serializable

async unregister(func: Callable[[...], Awaitable[T]]) → None[source]¶

Cancels subscription to the method-queue.

Parameters:: func – Function
