• Additionally, you can view the Documentation.

Installation

macOS / Linux

pip3 install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ HWProbe

Windows

pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ HWProbe

Usage

from hwprobe import HardwareManager
import json

hm = HardwareManager()

data = hm.fetch_hardware_info()

# All data returned are Pydantic models and have strict schema
# You can use it as is, or serialize it to JSON if you wish.
# We print the data in JSON here for readability.

json_data = json.loads(data.model_dump_json())
print(json.dumps(json_data, indent=2))
