aiorentry 0.1.2

Asynchronous client for https://rentry.co/ (https://rentry.org/)

aiorentry

Asynchronous API client for rentry.co (mirror: rentry.org)

About

This package allows you to interact with the rentry.co (or rentry.org) service.

Rentry.co is a markdown pastebin and publishing service that offers features such as previews, custom URLs, and editing.

Please note that this library is not developed by the official authors of rentry.co. It replicates the functionality of the official console utility, but provides it as an asynchronous API client. With this package you can manage your pages: create, edit and delete, as well as get data in text, PNG or PDF formats. All directly from your asynchronous Python application.

Installation

pip install aiorentry

Setup client

You can setup client in 2 ways:

As classic object

[!CAUTION] If you prefer the classic way, you should call await client.setup() during initialization and await client.close() during completion

import asyncio

from aiorentry.client import Client


async def main():
    client = Client('https://rentry.co')
    await client.setup()

    # Your code here

    await client.close()


asyncio.run(main())

As async context manager

import asyncio

from aiorentry.client import Client


async def main():
    async with Client('https://rentry.co') as client:
        # Your code here


asyncio.run(main())

Examples

Create new page

...
# Create new page
page = await client.new_page(
    '## Hello world from awesome API',
)

print(page)
...

Page(url='m2e2wpe8', edit_code='hUHeRUei', text='## Hello world from awesome API')

...
# Create new page with custom url and edit_code
awesome_page = await client.new_page(
    '## Hello world from awesome API',
    url='awesome-url',
    edit_code='qwerty=)'
)

print(awesome_page)
...

Page(url='awesome-url', edit_code='qwerty=)', text='## Hello world from awesome API')

Edit page

...
# Edit page
await client.edit_page(
    '### Updated Hello world',
    url='awesome-url',
    edit_code='qwerty=)',
)
...

Delete page

...
# Delete page
await client.delete_page(
    url='awesome-url',
    edit_code='qwerty=)',
)
...

Get raw page text

...
# Get raw content
content = await client.raw('awesome-url')
print(content)
...

### Updated Hello world

Get PDF file

...
# Get PDF
with open('page.pdf', mode='wb') as fp:
    fp.write(await client.pdf(page.url))
...

Get PNG

...
with open('page.png', mode='wb') as fp:
    fp.write(await client.png(page.url))
...

Custom ClientSession

[!NOTE] By default, a new instance of aiohttp.ClientSession will be created automatically. So normally you don't need to worry about this.

If you don't want to automatically create the session object inside the client, you can pass an existing aiohttp.ClientSession to the client constructor.

[!CAUTION] If you pass an existing session object to the client constructor, then you should care about releasing resources yourself.
The session will not be closed automatically! Even if the asynchronous context manager was used.

from aiohttp import ClientSession, TCPConnector
from aiorentry.client import Client

connector = TCPConnector(
    limit=5,  # Just for example
)

session = ClientSession(
    connector=connector,
)


async with Client('https://rentry.co', session=session) as client:
    # Your code here

async with session.get(...) as response:
    # You can still use this session object
