Trovebox Python Library
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
(Previously known as openphoto-python)
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: https://api.travis-ci.org/photo/openphoto-python.png
|
||||
:alt: Build Status
|
||||
:target: https://travis-ci.org/photo/openphoto-python
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:alt: Python Package Index (PyPI)
|
||||
:target: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/trovebox
|
||||
|
||||
This library works with any Trovebox server, either
|
||||
`self-hosted <https://github.com/photo>`__, or using the hosted service at
|
||||
`trovebox.com <http://trovebox.com>`__.
|
||||
It provides full access to your photos and metadata, via a simple
|
||||
Pythonic API.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
============
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
pip install trovebox
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation
|
||||
=============
|
||||
See the `Trovebox API Documentation <https://trovebox.com/documentation>`__
|
||||
for full API documentation, including Python examples.
|
||||
|
||||
All development takes place at the `openphoto-python GitHub site <https://github.com/photo/openphoto-python>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
Credentials
|
||||
===========
|
||||
For full access to your photos, you need to create the following config
|
||||
file in ``~/.config/trovebox/default``::
|
||||
|
||||
# ~/.config/trovebox/default
|
||||
host = your.host.com
|
||||
consumerKey = your_consumer_key
|
||||
consumerSecret = your_consumer_secret
|
||||
token = your_access_token
|
||||
tokenSecret = your_access_token_secret
|
||||
|
||||
The ``config_file`` switch lets you specify a different config file.
|
||||
|
||||
To get your credentials:
|
||||
|
||||
* Log into your Trovebox site
|
||||
* Click the arrow on the top-right and select 'Settings'
|
||||
* Click the 'Create a new app' button
|
||||
* Click the 'View' link beside the newly created app
|
||||
|
||||
Using the library
|
||||
=================
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
from trovebox import Trovebox
|
||||
client = Trovebox()
|
||||
photos = client.photos.list()
|
||||
photos[0].update(tags=["tag1", "tag2"])
|
||||
print(photos[0].tags)
|
||||
|
||||
The Trovebox Python class hierarchy mirrors the
|
||||
`Trovebox API <https://trovebox.com/documentation>`__ endpoint layout.
|
||||
For example, the calls in the example above use the following API endpoints:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``client.photos.list() -> /photos/list.json``
|
||||
* ``photos[0].update() -> /photo/<id>/update.json``
|
||||
|
||||
You can also access the API at a lower level using GET/POST methods::
|
||||
|
||||
resp = client.get("/photos/list.json")
|
||||
resp = client.post("/photo/62/update.json", tags=["tag1", "tag2"])
|
||||
|
||||
API Versioning
|
||||
==============
|
||||
It may be useful to lock your application to a particular version of the Trovebox API.
|
||||
This ensures that future API updates won't cause unexpected breakages.
|
||||
|
||||
To do this, add the optional ``api_version`` parameter when creating the client object::
|
||||
|
||||
from trovebox import Trovebox
|
||||
client = Trovebox(api_version=2)
|
||||
|
||||
Commandline Tool
|
||||
================
|
||||
You can run commands to the Trovebox API from your shell!
|
||||
|
||||
These are the options you can pass to the shell program::
|
||||
|
||||
--help # Display help text
|
||||
-c config_file # Either the name of a config file in ~/.config/trovebox/ or a full path to a config file
|
||||
-h hostname # Overrides config_file for unauthenticated API calls
|
||||
-e endpoint # [default=/photos/list.json]
|
||||
-X method # [default=GET]
|
||||
-F params # e.g. -F 'title=my title' -F 'tags=mytag1,mytag2'
|
||||
-p # Pretty print the json
|
||||
-v # Verbose output
|
||||
--version # Display the current version information
|
||||
|
||||
Commandline Examples
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
Upload a public photo to the host specified in ```~/.config/trovebox/default```::
|
||||
|
||||
trovebox -p -X POST -e /photo/upload.json -F 'photo=@/path/to/photo/jpg' -F 'permission=1'
|
||||
{
|
||||
"code":201,
|
||||
"message":"Photo 1eo uploaded successfully",
|
||||
"result":{
|
||||
"actor":"user@example.com",
|
||||
"albums":[],
|
||||
...
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Get a thumbnail URL from current.trovebox.com (unauthenticated access)::
|
||||
|
||||
trovebox -h current.trovebox.com -p -e /photo/62/view.json -F 'returnSizes=20x20'
|
||||
{
|
||||
"code":200,
|
||||
"message":"Photo 62",
|
||||
"result":{
|
||||
"actor":"",
|
||||
"albums":[
|
||||
"1"
|
||||
],
|
||||
...
|
||||
...
|
||||
"path20x20":"http://current.trovebox.com/photo/62/create/36c0a/20x20.jpg",
|
||||
"pathBase":"http://awesomeness.trovebox.com/base/201203/7ae997-Boracay-Philippines-007.jpg",
