Upload to PyPI
https://github.com/ampache/python3-ampache/workflows/Upload%20Python%20Package/badge.svg

INFO

A python3 library for interaction with your Ampache 5.x.x server using the XML & JSON API

https://ampache.org/API/

Code examples and scripts are available from github

The class documentation has been extracted out into a markdown file for easier reading.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ampache/python3-ampache/master/docs/MANUAL.md

There has been a pretty significant change in the library between Ampache 4 and Ampache 5.

For anyone wanting to stay on v4 the branch has been separated from the master branch.

https://github.com/ampache/python3-ampache/tree/api4

Once you connect with your passphrase or api key, the url and auth token are stored allowing you to call methods without them.

import ampache
import time

# connect to the server
ampacheConnection = ampache.API()

# if using password auth use encrypt_password
mytime = int(time.time())
passphrase = ampacheConnection.encrypt_password('mypassword', mytime)
auth = ampacheConnection.handshake('https://music.com.au', passphrase, 'my username', mytime)

# if using an API key auth keep using encrypt_string
passphrase = ampacheConnection.encrypt_string('my apikey', 'my username')
auth = ampacheConnection.handshake('https://music.com.au', passphrase)

# now you can call methods without having to keep putting in the url and userkey
ampacheConnection.label(1677)

# ping has always allowed empty calls so you have to ping with a url and session still
ampacheConnection.ping('https://music.com.au', auth)

NEWS

  • Password handshake auth is available now.

  • This library only supports Ampache 5+ with a lot of significant change on the Ampache and library side

INSTALL

You can now install from pip directly:

pip3 install -U ampache

EXAMPLES

There is a fairly simple cli example for windows/linux to perform a few functions. It’s a good example for testing and might make things a bit easier to follow.

Possible Actions:

    /u:%CUSTOM_USER%    (Custom username for the current action)
    /k:%CUSTOM_APIKEY%  (Custom apikey for the current action)
    /a:%ACTION%         (ping, playlists, localplay, download, configure, logout, showconfig)
    /l:%LIMIT%          (integer)
    /o:%OBJECT_ID%      (string)
    /t:%OBJECT_TYPE%    (song, playlist)
    /p:%PATH%           (folder for downloads)
    /f:%FORMAT%         (raw, mp3, ogg, flac)
    /usb                (split files into numeric 0-9 folders for car USBs)
    /c:%COMMAND%        (localplay command)
    (next, prev, stop, play, pause, add, volume_up,
        volume_down, volume_mute, delete_all, skip, status)

Here is a short code sample for python to scrobble a track to your server

import time
import ampache

# user variables
ampache_url = 'https://music.server'
my_api_key = 'mysuperapikey'
user = 'myusername'

# processed details
encrypted_key = ampache.encrypt_string(my_api_key, user)
ampache_session = ampache.handshake(ampache_url, encrypted_key)

if ampache_session:
    # Scrobble a music track to your ampache server
    Process(target=ampache.scrobble,
            args=(ampache_url, ampache_session,
                  'Hear.Life.Spoken', 'Sub Atari Knives', 'Unearthed',
                  '', '', int(time.time()))).start()
