class Certification
A data class representing certification details of an application, inheriting from ClientValue to provide serialization capabilities for Office 365 API interactions.

4 - 11
simple
Purpose
This class serves as a data transfer object (DTO) to encapsulate certification information for applications within the Office 365 ecosystem. It stores a URL pointing to detailed certification information and provides a structured way to handle certification data when interacting with Office 365 services. The class inherits from ClientValue, which likely provides JSON serialization/deserialization capabilities for API communication.
Source Code
class Certification(ClientValue):
"""Represents the certification details of an application."""
def __init__(self, certification_details_url=None):
"""
:param str certification_details_url:
"""
self.certificationDetailsUrl = certification_details_url
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|
bases |
ClientValue | - |
Parameter Details
certification_details_url: Optional string parameter containing the URL that points to the detailed certification information for an application. This URL typically links to a page or resource containing comprehensive certification details. Can be None if certification details are not available or not yet assigned.
Return Value
Instantiation returns a Certification object with the certificationDetailsUrl attribute set to the provided value or None. The object can be used to represent and transmit certification information in Office 365 API calls.

Methods
__init__(self, certification_details_url=None) -> None
Purpose: Initializes a new Certification instance with optional certification details URL
Parameters:
certification_details_url: Optional string containing the URL to certification details, defaults to None
Returns: None (constructor)

str or None | Stores the URL pointing to detailed certification information for the application. Can be None if not provided or not available. | instance |
Dependencies
office365
Required Imports
from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
Usage Example
from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
from office365.entity_types.certification import Certification
# Create a Certification instance with a URL
cert = Certification(certification_details_url="https://example.com/cert/details")
print(cert.certificationDetailsUrl)
# Create a Certification instance without a URL
cert_empty = Certification()
print(cert_empty.certificationDetailsUrl) # None
# Update the URL after instantiation
cert_empty.certificationDetailsUrl = "https://example.com/new/cert"
print(cert_empty.certificationDetailsUrl)
Best Practices
- This is a simple data container class with no complex logic or state management
- The class is immutable in design but attributes can be modified after instantiation
- Typically instantiated once and passed to Office 365 API methods that require certification information
- The certificationDetailsUrl should be a valid URL string when provided, though no validation is enforced
- As a ClientValue subclass, this object is designed to be serialized to JSON for API communication
- No cleanup or disposal methods are needed; the object can be garbage collected normally
- Thread-safe as it contains no shared mutable state or synchronization mechanisms
