## Getting Started
1. **Sign Up**. Before you begin, you need to sign up for an account on our [Dashboard](https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/) and retrieve your [credentials](https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/#/apps).
2. **Minimum requirements**. This SDK requires [Python 2.7 or later](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
3. **Install Aspose.CAD Cloud Python SDK**.
Please, add the following [PyPi package](https://pypi.org/project/aspose-cad-cloud/) to your requirements.txt.
```
aspose-cad-cloud>=20.11
```
Or install it using command line.
```
pip install aspose-cad-cloud
```
Import the dependencies to your code as follows.
```python
import aspose-cad-cloud
```
4. **Using the SDK**. The best way to become familiar with how to use the SDK is to read the [Developer Guide](https://docs.aspose.cloud/cad/developer-guide/). The [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.aspose.cloud/cad/getting-started/) will help you to become familiar with the common concepts.
## Examples
```python
// optional parameters are base URL, API version and debug mode
// default base URL is https://api.aspose.cloud/
// default API version is v3.0
// default debug mode is false
// authentication type is OAuth2.0 (bearer JWT token)
from asposecadcloud import CadApi
import asposecadcloud.models.requests as requests
...
self.cad_api = CadApi(app_key, app_sid)
return self.cad_api.get_drawing_save_as(
requests.GetDrawingSaveAsRequest(name, format_extension, self.original_data_folder, output_path, storage))
```
Please, look at [Examples](EXAMPLES.md) document for basic usage or use the [Examples](Examples) folder for more sophisticated scenarios.

## Other languages
We generate our SDKs in different languages so you may check if yours is available in our [repository](https://github.com/aspose-cad-cloud). If you don't find your language in the list, feel free to request it from us, or use raw REST API requests as you can find it [here](https://products.aspose.cloud/cad/curl).
## Code generator
The solution is updated using [code generator](https://github.com/aspose-cad-cloud/aspose-cad-cloud-codegen).
