Usage

import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aioterabox.api import TeraboxClient
from aioterabox.exceptions import TeraboxLoginChallengeRequired


async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        tb = TeraboxClient(
            session=session,
            email='your_email',
            password='your_password',
        )
        try:
            await tb.login()
        except TeraboxLoginChallengeRequired as exc:
            # TeraBox may require a simple-verify continuation step.
            await tb.complete_login_challenge(exc.challenge)

        # get quota
        print('quota = ', await tb.get_storage_quota())

        # list files
        files = await tb.list_remote_directory('/path/to/directory')
        print(files)
        
        # create directory
        await tb.create_directory('/remote/directory')

        # upload file
        await tb.upload_file('/home/user/localfile.zip', f'/remote/directory/remotefile.zip')

        # download file
        meta = await tb.get_files_meta(['/remote/directory/remotefile.zip'])[0]
        async with session.get(meta['dlink']) as resp:
            # the link is signed and can be downloaded without authentication
            with open('/tmp/downloadedfile.zip', 'wb') as f:
                while chunk := await resp.content.read(1024):
                    f.write(chunk)

        # rename file  
        await tb.rename_file('/remote/directory/remotefile.zip', 'newname.zip')

        # delete file
        await tb.delete_files(['/remote/directory/newname.zip'])

asyncio.run(main())

The client can now start from only email/password and establish the session cookies on its own. When TeraBox responds with need verify, the library raises TeraboxLoginChallengeRequired and stores the in-progress session so the caller can continue the flow with complete_login_challenge().

If you want to persist a working session between restarts, store the cookies returned by login() or complete_login_challenge(). The useful fields are usually jstoken, csrfToken, browserid, ndus, TSID, shareUpdateRandom, and lang.

For file operations you should always use absolute paths starting from the root directory /.

Configuration

Manual cookie bootstrap

If you prefer to start from an existing browser session, you can still extract the session JS Token and cookies manually.

Getting the JS Token

To use this tool you need to have a Terabox account and a JS Token key. You can get the session JS Token by logging into your Terabox account and following the sequence of steps below:

1. Open your Terabox cloud.
2. Open the browser's developer tools (F12).
   
3. Enable the "Device Toolbar" then click the back arrow to get back to Terabox.
   
4. Go to the "Network" tab.
   
5. Select the "XHR" filter.
   
6. Click any directory or file in the cloud.
7. Look for any request made to the Terabox cloud URL and click on it.
   
8. Select the "Payload" tab.
   
9. Look for the jsToken parameter in the list and copy its value.

If you can't find the jsToken parameter, try selecting any other directory or file in the cloud and look for the jsToken parameter in the request payload. Make sure that you have the "XHR" filter selected and that you are looking at the "Payload" tab.

Getting the cookies values

Additionally to the JS Token, you will need to capture the cookies values. You can get them by following the sequence of steps below:

1. Open your Terabox cloud.
2. Open the browser's developer tools (F12).
   
3. Go to the "Application" tab.
   
4. Select the "Cookies" item in the left panel.
   
5. Look for the cookies values and copy them.
   

You will need to copy the csrfToken, browserid, and ndus values. Once the values are provided the library will refresh the csrfToken and jstoken values on login automatically.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
