An asynchronous binded Python3.7+ API for the LBRYD and LBRYCRD network

aioLBRY, a Python API Wrapper for lbry & lbrycrd

aioLBRY is a wrapper for the lbry daemon and lbrycrd daemon API for Python 3.7+

(Python 2 will never be supported)

Installation

With pip

Simply run the following

$ pip install aiolbry

And you're done!

Manually Cloning the Repository

You can either clone this repository or get a tarball from PyPI's website for whatever version you want. Simply download it and

# Simply clone the repository somewhere
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/jamieoglindsey0/aiolbry

# Or obtain a release from PyPI's site.
$ wget <extremely long link generated by PyPI>

$ tar -xzf aiolbry-x.x.x.tar.gz aiolbry/

# Change directories into the newly created repository
$ cd aiolbry/

# Now you simply run the setup.py file:
$ python3 setup.py build_py install

Usage

Using the API

0. Make sure that lbry-daemon is up and running, as you will not be able to do anything without it.

1. First, import LbrydApi or LbrycrdApi from aiolbry into your project.

API for LBRYD

Using the Generated Code

The API generates all the functions from the lbryd documentation, and translates it into tangible, documented code.

[1] import asyncio
[2] from aiolbry import LbrydApi

# Initialize the API
[3] lbry = LbrydApi()

[4] loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

# Just call the method as documented in the LBRYD API
[5] loop.run_until_complete(lbry.claim_list(name="@lbry"))

Calling the API Manually

Since all the code does is make requests to the lbry daemon, you can also use it as you would with cURL on the commandline. In fact, this is actually what the bodies of generated code do.

# You can also use the traditional method of making requests
# if you prefer the cURL commandline syntax, works the same.
response = lbry.call("claim_list", {"name": "bellflower"})

API For LbryCRD

from aiolbry import LbrycrdApi

# Provide the username and password
lbrycrd = LbrycrdApi("username", "password")

# Just specify the method and the parameters
response = lbrycrd.call("wallet_unlock", {"wallet_username", "wallet_password"})
