Python Funkwhale: Python Wrapper for the Funkwhale API.

Python-funkwhale is a lightweight wrapper over the Funkwhale API. Only dependent on Requests, the idea of this wrapper is to support as much of the Funkwhale API as possible and be ready for new additions without needing to add a single line of code. It supports a "magic" method of building API calls based in class attributes that will ensure new additions will work inmediately as soon as added to the server API.

Installation

So far, the API wrapper is still considered unstable, a proper setup file is in the works. As soon as I can be sure everything works as expected, I will add a setup file here so it can be installed as a proper Pytohn package. For now, the only way to use this package is by copying the funkwhale folder in a directory present in os.path so it can be found during imports.

usage

>>> from funkwhale import session
# Create the session instance (no login is performed at this step).
# Use the demo server and credentials.
>>> mySession = session.Session()
# Or provide your own data.
>>> mySession = session.Session(instance_endpoint="https://demo.funkwhale.audio", username="demo", password="demo")
# Alternatively, if you already have a JWT token you can pass it to the session class
>>> mySession = session.Session(instance_endpoint="https://demo.funkwhale.audio", token="xxxxxxxxx")
# Do login.
>>> mySession.login()
# If username and password were provided, the login method generated already the JWT token.
# You can save this somewhere for passing it later.
>>> print(mySession.token)
xxxxxxxxx
# Create the API object, that will be responsible for calling the funkwhale's server.
>>> api = mySession.get_api()
# all API calls follow the format "path.to.api.method(key=value, other_key=other_value)"
# where method can be get and post.
# Retrieve only 5 artists in the current instance.
>>> artists = api.artists.get(page_size=5)
# the data is always a dictionary and we can do something with it already.
>>> for i in artists["results"]:
...     print(i["name"])

# Some methods have been modified a little from the original API paths due to pytohn's syntax.
# For example, for calling  /api/v1/artists/{id}/libraries
# in python-funkwhale it will be translated as the following call, just removing the {id} part from the path and passing it as an argument to the function.
>>> libraries = api.artists.libraries.get(1)
>>> for i in libraries["results"]:
...     print(i["name"])
...

>>>
# In some situations, Funkwhale returns partial or full URLS in some API calls.
# We can use the direct_post and direct_get in the api object for calling the requests methods
# This will call requests.get and requests.post without any magic in the API.
# for example, to retrieve a next page after calling to api.artists.get, there is a key called next.
>>> print(artists["next"])
http://demo.funkwhale.audio:80/api/v1/artists/?page=2&page_size=5
# In this case we will not use api.artists.get because it builds the URL based in class attributes.
# Instead we just use the direct_get method.
>>> next_artists = api.direct_get(artists["next"])
>>> for i in  next_artists["results"]:
...     print(i["name"])

# also, we can pass partial URLS such as /api/v1/listen/track_id to the API.
# the API has a function called full_url which will convert the URL properly into a full URL so it can be used in other apps
# Or used to be called with direct_post/direct_get
# This kind of URL is returned by funkwhale in tracks, for example.
# retrieve a single Track.
>>> track = api.tracks.get(1)
# the listen_url is a partial URL so we cannot pass it directly to request methods.
>>> print (tracks["listen_url"])
/api/v1/listen/778e01b2-85d9-4f73-b30d-3007a011c5f3/
# Convert it to a full URL which will be accepted by all request methods and in other apps
# As long as the provided credentials are valid.
>>> api.full_url(track["listen_url"])
