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 api
# Create the session instance (no login is performed at this step).
# Use the demo server and credentials.
>>> session = api.Session()
# Or provide your own data.
>>> session = api.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
>>> session = api.Session(instance_endpoint="https://demo.funkwhale.audio", token="xxxxxxxxx")
# Do login.
>>> session.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(session.token)
xxxxxxxxx
# Create the API object, that will be responsible for calling the funkwhale's server.
>>> api = session.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"])
...
