PyTrilium 1.2.4

A Python wrapper for the Trilium Notes API

Pytrilium

Python SDK (wrapper, whatever you want to call it) for interacting with Trilium's ETAPI. The exact OpenAPI spec definition file that I'm trying to match can be found here.

You can use either your password or an ETAPI token to authenticate to the Trilium instance.

🖥 Installation

pip install pytrilium

Examples

🔐 Authenticating (via ETAPI token or password)

Token:

from pytrilium.PyTrilium import PyTrilium

pytrilium_client = PyTrilium("https://trilium.example.com", token="TTDaTeG3sadffy2_eOtgqvZoI6xHvga/6vhz61ezke1RpoX47vPI93zs5qs=")

print(pytrilium_client.get_note_content_by_id("MLDQ3EGWsU8e"))

Password:

from pytrilium.PyTrilium import PyTrilium

pytrilium_client = PyTrilium("https://trilium.example.com", password="thisisabadpassword1")

print(pytrilium_client.get_note_content_by_id("MLDQ3EGWsU8e"))

📒 Basic Use Case

This will just print out the contents of a note, as one large string. Trilium's API returns it in the HTML format.

from pytrilium.PyTrilium import PyTrilium

pytrilium_client = PyTrilium("https://trilium.example.com", token="TTDaTeG3sadffy2_eOtgqvZoI6xHvga/6vhz61ezke1RpoX47vPI93zs5qs=")

print(pytrilium_client.get_note_content_by_id("MLDQ3EGWsU8e"))

Export a note to a file

from pytrilium.PyTrilium import PyTrilium

test_client = PyTrilium("https://trilium.example.com", token="TTDaTeG3sadffy2_eOtgqvZoI6xHvga/6vhz61ezke1RpoX47vPI93zs5qs=")

print(test_client.get_note_content_by_id("MLDQ3EGWsU8e"))

test_client.export_note_by_id("MLDQ3EGWsU8e", "./test.zip")

🧠 More Advanced

If I'm braindead or this just doesn't do what you want it to, you can still use the underlying requests.Session that I've set up so that you can still interact with the API. This way you can still make manual requests if you would like to, and do whatever you would like with them.

To print out a Note's content without using other helpers -

from pytrilium.PyTrilium import PyTrilium

pytrilium_client = PyTrilium("https://trilium.example.com", token="TTDaTeG3sadffy2_eOtgqvZoI6xHvga/6vhz61ezke1RpoX47vPI93zs5qs=")

resp = pytrilium_client.make_request('notes/<noteid>/content')
print(resp.text)
