Instalation

Blomp API can be installed with pip:

pip install blomp-api

Examples

Getting started with the API

from blomp_api import Blomp

# Log in to your Blomp account
blomp = Blomp("[e-mail]", "yourpassword")

# Get your cloud root directory
root = blomp.get_root_directory()

Example directory structure for the next examples

(root directory)
├── folder1/
│   ├── file1.ext
│   └── file2.ext
├── folder2/
│   ├── folder3/
│   │   └── file3.ext
│   └── file4.ext
├── file5.txt
└── file6.ext

Access files and folders

# Getting a folder using the get_folder_by_name method
folder1 = root.get_folder_by_name("folder1")

# Getting a file using the get_file_by_name method
file5 = root.get_file_by_name("file5.ext")

# Getting a file from a tuple with all files in the folder
# root.files -> (File(file5.ext), File(file6.ext))
file6 = root.files[-1]

# Getting a folder from a tuple with all subfolders in the folder
# root.subfolders -> (Folder(folder1), Folder(folder2))
folder2 = root.subfolders[1]

# All folders are iterable
# tuple(folder) is equivalent to folder.subfolders+folder.files
# tuple(folder2) -> (Folder(folder3), File(file4.ext))
folder3 = tuple(folder2)[0]

# All folders are subscriptable
# folder[i] is equivalent to tuple(folder)[i]
file1 = folder1[0]
file4 = folder2[1]

Downloading a file and getting download progress

# NOTE: All folder and file variables are the same as in previous examples

# Specifying a directory to save the file
# The following file will be saved as "/path/to/save/file1.ext"
thread1, monitor1 = file1.download("/path/to/save")

# Waiting for file1.ext to complete download
thread1.join()

# Specifying a directory and file name
# The following file will be saved as "/path/to/save/f4.ext"
# If a directory is not specified, then the file will be saved
# in the same directory where the program is running.
# This time we will let the following download occur in parallel
file4.download("/path/to/save/f4.ext")

# Specifying an open file object
with open("file5.ext", "wb") as f5:
    thread5 = file5.download(f5)[0]
    thread5.join()

# Nothing specified
# The following file will be saved as "file6.ext"
thread6, monitor6 = file6.download()

# Monitoring "file6.ext" download progress
while thread6.is_alive():
    loaded = monitor6.loaded
    total = monitor6.total
    progress = int(monitor6.progress)*100

    print(f"\r{loaded} of {total} bytes downloaded ({progress}%)")

Uploading a file and getting upload progress

# NOTE: All folder and file variables are the same as in previous examples

# Uploading a file to root directory
# The file will be saved in the root directory as "file7.ext"
thread7, monitor7 = root.upload("/path/to/file/file7.ext")

# Monitoring "file7.ext" upload progress
while thread7.is_alive():
    loaded = monitor7.loaded
    total = monitor7.total
    progress = int(monitor7.progress)*100

    print(f"\r{loaded} of {total} bytes uploaded ({progress}%)")

# Uploading a file from a file object to "folder1"
# The file will be saved in the folder1 as file8.ext
with open("/path/to/file/file8.ext", "rb") as f8:
    thread8, monitor8 = folder1.upload(f8)
    thread8.join()

# Upload specifying file name
folder3.upload("path/to/file/file9_1.ext", file_name="file9.ext")[0].join()

# Uploading a file when there is already another file
# with the same name in folder.
# If a file of the same name is found and the "replace_if_exists"
# attribute is False (default), FileExistsError is raised.
folder3.upload("path/to/file/file9.ext", replace_if_exists=True)

Other operations with folders

All folder and file variables in the following examples are the same as in the previous examples.

Create a new folder

# Creating a new folder in "folder3" com nome "folder4"
folder3.create_folder("folder4")

Renaming a folder

# Renaming "folder4" to "folder5"
folder4 = folder3.get_folder_by_name("folder4")
folder4.safe_rename("folder5")
print(folder4.name) # Will be printed "folder5"

Cutting or copying files and folders

folder5 = folder3.get_folder_by_name("folder5")
file7 = root.get_file_by_name("file7.ext")

# The following operations apply to both files and folders

# Copying a file to a folder
folder5.paste(file7)

# Cutting a folder to another folder
folder1.paste(folder5, cut=True)

folder1.reload()
folder5.reload()

Deleting files and folders

# Deleting a file
file8 = folder1.get_file_by_name("file8.ext")
folder1.delete(file8)

# Deleting a folder
folder1.delete(folder5)

# Deleting a file by name (also works with folder names)
folder3.delete("file9.ext")

folder1.reload()
folder3.reload()

Other operations with files

All folder and file variables in the following examples are the same as in the previous examples.

Renaming a file

file6.rename("file66.ext")
print(file6.name) # Will be printed "file66.ext"

Sharing a file

# Enabling sharing of "file1.ext" and getting the link
file1_link = file1.share()

# Enabling sharing of "file2.ext" and sending the link to an email list
file2 = folder1.get_file_by_name("file2.ext")
file2_link = file2.share(["[e-mail]", "[e-mail]"])

# Disabling sharing of "file1.ext"
file1.share_switch_off()

# Enabling sharing of "file1.ext"
file1.share_switch_on()

Other information

For more information, type into your Python shell:

help(<blomp_object>)

Where <blomp_object> can be:

• A Blomp instance
  • Example:

    from blomp import Blomp
    
    blomp = Blomp("[e-mail]", "yourpassword")
    help(blomp)
    

• A Folderobject
  • Example:

    root = blomp.get_root_directory()
    help(root)
    

• A File object
  • Example:

    file = root.get_file_by_name("<file_name>")
    help(file)
