# Managing Applications

> In this section, you will learn how to manage your application using the available library. You can interact with your application in various ways, such as obtaining information about the application status, accessing logs, starting, stopping, and restarting the application, as well as managing files associated with it.

[Client]: client

[Application]: client#aplication

All operations below can be performed by either the [Client] class, the
[Application] class and the CLI. Below are examples of how to perform each of
these tasks using both classes:

## Getting the status of your application

`client.app_status` and `app.status` return a `StatusData` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Using Client">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        status = await client.app_status('application_id')  # StatusData(...)

        print(status.ram)      # '70MB'
        print(status.cpu)      # '5%'
        print(status.network)  # {'total': '0 KB ↑ 0 KB ↓', 'now': '0 KB ↑ 0 KB ↓'}
        print(status.running)  # True | False
        print(status.storage)  # '0B'
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Application">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        app = await client.app('application_id')  # StatusData(...)
        status = await app.status()

        print(status.ram)  # '70MB'
        print(status.cpu)  # '5%'
        print(status.network)  # {'total': '0 KB ↑ 0 KB ↓', 'now': '0 KB ↑ 0 KB ↓'}
        print(status.running)  # True | False
        print(status.storage)  # '0B'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Getting logs

`client.get_logs` and `app.logs` return a `LogsData` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Using Client">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        logs = await client.get_logs('application_id')

        print(logs)  # LogsData(logs='Hello World!')
        print(logs.logs)  # 'Hello World'
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Application">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        app = await client.app('application_id')
        logs = await app.logs()

        print(logs)  # LogsData(logs='Hello World!')
        print(logs.logs)  # 'Hello World'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Starting the application

`client.start_app` and `app.start` return a `Response` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Using Client">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        await client.start_app('application_id')
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Application">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        app = await client.app('application_id')
        await app.start()
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Stopping the application

`client.stop_app` and `app.stop` return a `Response` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Using Client">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        await client.stop_app('application_id')
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Application">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        app = await client.app('application_id')
        await app.stop()
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Restarting the application

`client.restart_app` and `app.restart` return a `Response` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Using Client">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        await client.restart_app('application_id')
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Application">
    ```python theme={null}
    import squarecloud as square

    client = square.Client(api_key='API KEY')

    async def example():
        app = await client.app('application_id')
        await app.restart()
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Deleting an application

`client.delete_app` and `app.delete` return a `Response` object.

<Warning>
  This will delete your application **PERMANENTLY**, meaning that unless you have a backup of your application, it cannot be recovered.
