# thousandeyes-sdk-bgp-monitors
Retrieve information about BGP monitors available to your ThousandEyes account. ThousandEyes ingests BGP routing data from dozens of global BGP collectors and automatically integrates that visibility as a configurable layer under service, network, and path visualization layers.
When you specify a service URL in a test, layered BGP tests automatically track reachability and path changes for any relevant prefix. When you use an IP address as the target for a test, the ThousandEyes platform monitors the relevant internet-routed prefix. You can also create specific BGP monitoring for a prefix, and can alert on hijacks and leaks.
For more information about monitors, see [Inside-Out BGP Visibility](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/internet-and-wan-monitoring/tests/bgp-tests/inside-out-bgp-visibility).

(or `sudo python setup.py install` to install the package for all users)
Then import the package:
```python
import thousandeyes_sdk.bgp_monitors
```
### Tests
Execute `pytest` to run the tests.
## Getting Started
Please follow the [installation procedure](#installation--usage) and then run the following:
```python
import thousandeyes_sdk.client
import thousandeyes_sdk.bgp_monitors
from thousandeyes_sdk.client.exceptions import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Defining the host is optional and defaults to https://api.thousandeyes.com
# See configuration.py for a list of all supported configuration parameters.
configuration = thousandeyes_sdk.client.Configuration(
host = "https://api.thousandeyes.com"
)
# The client must configure the authentication and authorization parameters
# in accordance with the API server security policy.
# Examples for each auth method are provided below, use the example that
# satisfies your auth use case.
# Configure Bearer authorization: BearerAuth
configuration = thousandeyes_sdk.client.Configuration(
access_token = os.environ["BEARER_TOKEN"]
)
# Enter a context with an instance of the API client
with thousandeyes_sdk.client.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
# Create an instance of the API class
api_instance = thousandeyes_sdk.bgp_monitors.ListBGPMonitorsApi(api_client)
aid = '1234' # str | A unique identifier associated with your account group. You can retrieve your `AccountGroupId` from the `/account-groups` endpoint. Note that you must be assigned to the target account group. Specifying this parameter without being assigned to the target account group will result in an error response. (optional)
try:
# List BGP monitors
api_response = api_instance.get_bgp_monitors(aid=aid)
print("The response of ListBGPMonitorsApi->get_bgp_monitors:\n")
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling ListBGPMonitorsApi->get_bgp_monitors: %s\n" % e)
```
