to_dict(camel_case=True, whitelist_keys=None, skip_private_keys=False)

Converts an object to a dictionary excluding object’s private properties. When converting the object to a dictionary, the object’s attributes become the dictionary’s keys and are in camel case by default Attribute values stored as objects are automatically converted to non-/ primitive data structures.

Parameters:

Returns:

A dictionary representation of object’s attributes and values.

By default, the dictionary keys are in camel case.

Return type:

dict

Raises:

requests.HTTPError – If I-Server raises exception

Return type:

None

Get change journal entries of the object.

property connection: Connection
