# How to script MAAS with Python

The `python-libmaas` client library provides access to various MAAS endpoints, so that you can write Python scripts to control MAAS. This page provides links to the necessary references and instructions.

## [Library endpoints](https://canonical-com-2950.demos.haus/maas/docs/how-to-script-maas-with-python?format=md#p-9398-library-endpoints)

Currently, the library provides eight endpoints:

* account
* boot-sources and boot-resources
* machines, devices, region controllers, rack controllers
* events
* configuration
* tags
* version
* zones

See the [API documentation](https://canonical.com/maas/docs/api) for more info.
