Features

• asynchronous

• support python 3.5+ versions

• have only one dependency - aiohttp

• support two-factor authentication

• support socks proxy with aiosocks

• support rate limit of requests

• support Long Poll connection

Install

pip install aiovk

Annotation

In all the examples below, I will give only the {code}

async def func():
    {code}

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(func())

Authorization

TokenSession - if you already have token or you use requests which don’t require token

session = TokenSession()
session = TokenSession(access_token='asdf123..')

ImplicitSession - client authorization in js apps and standalone (desktop and mobile) apps

>>> session = ImplicitSession(USER_LOGIN, USER_PASSWORD, APP_ID)
>>> await session.authorize()
>>> session.access_token
asdfa2321afsdf12eadasf123...

With scopes:

ImplicitSession(USER_LOGIN, USER_PASSWORD, APP_ID, 'notify')
ImplicitSession(USER_LOGIN, USER_PASSWORD, APP_ID, 'notify,friends')
ImplicitSession(USER_LOGIN, USER_PASSWORD, APP_ID, ['notify', 'friends'])
ImplicitSession(USER_LOGIN, USER_PASSWORD, APP_ID, 3)  # notify and friends

Also you can use SimpleImplicitSessionMixin for entering confirmation code or captcha key

AuthorizationCodeSession - authorization for server apps or Open API

See https://vk.com/dev/authcode_flow_user for getting the CODE

>>> session = AuthorizationCodeSession(APP_ID, APP_SECRET, REDIRECT_URI, CODE)
>>> await session.authorize()
>>> session.access_token
asdfa2321afsdf12eadasf123...

Or:

>>> session = AuthorizationCodeSession(APP_ID, APP_SECRET, REDIRECT_URI)
>>> await session.authorize(CODE)
>>> session.access_token
asdfa2321afsdf12eadasf123...

Authorization using context manager - you won’t need to use session.close() after work

async with aiovk.TokenSession(access_token=YOUR_VK_TOKEN) as ses:
    api = API(ses)...

And your session will be closed after all done or code fail(similar to simple “with” usage) Works with all types of authorization

Drivers

HttpDriver - default driver for using aiohttp

>>> driver = HttpDriver()
>>> driver = HttpDriver(timeout=10)  # default timeout for all requests

>>> driver = Socks5Driver(PROXY_ADDRESS, PORT)  # 1234 is port
>>> driver = Socks5Driver(PROXY_ADDRESS, PORT, timeout=10)
>>> driver = Socks5Driver(PROXY_ADDRESS, PORT, PROXY_LOGIN, PROXY_PASSWORD, timeout=10)

How to use custom driver with session:

>>> session = TokenSession(..., driver=HttpDriver())

How to use driver with own loop:

>>> loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
>>> asyncio.set_event_loop(None)
>>> session = TokenSession(driver=HttpDriver(loop=loop))  # or Socks5Driver

How to use driver with custom http session object:

Solve next problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29827642/asynchronous-aiohttp-requests-fails-but-synchronous-requests-succeed

>>> connector = aiohttp.TCPConnector(verify_ssl=False)
>>> session = aiohttp.ClientSession(connector=connector)
>>> driver = HttpDriver(loop=loop, session=session)

LimitRateDriverMixin - mixin class what allow you create new drivers with speed rate limits

>>> class ExampleDriver(LimitRateDriverMixin, HttpDriver):
...     requests_per_period = 3
...     period = 1  #seconds

VK API

First variant:

>>> session = TokenSession()
>>> api = API(session)
>>> await api.users.get(user_ids=1)
[{'first_name': 'Pavel', 'last_name': 'Durov', 'id': 1}]

Second variant:

>>> session = TokenSession()
>>> api = API(session)
>>> await api('users.get', user_ids=1)
[{'first_name': 'Pavel', 'last_name': 'Durov', 'id': 1}]

Also you can add timeout argument for each request or define it in the session

See https://vk.com/dev/methods for detailed API guide.

Lazy VK API

It is useful when a bot has a large message flow

>>> session = TokenSession()
>>> api = LazyAPI(session)
>>> message = api.users.get(user_ids=1)
>>> await message()
[{'first_name': 'Pavel', 'last_name': 'Durov', 'id': 1}]

Supports both variants like API object

Long Poll

Use exist API object

>>> api = API(session)
>>> lp = LongPoll(api, mode=2)  # default wait=25
>>> await lp.wait()
{"ts":1820350345,"updates":[...]}
>>> await lp.wait()
{"ts":1820351011,"updates":[...]}

Use Session object

>>> lp = LongPoll(session, mode=2)  # default wait=25
>>> await lp.wait()
{"ts":1820350345,"updates":[...]}
>>> await lp.get_pts()  # return pts
191231223
>>> await lp.get_pts(need_ts=True)  # return pts, ts
191231223, 1820350345

Notice that wait value only for long pool connection.

Real pause could be more wait time because of need time for authorization (if needed), reconnect and etc.
