brainfm 0.2.1

Unofficial python API for brain.fm

Very few commands are currently implemented. Please open an issue if there’s a specific command you need. If you’re up for debugging their interesting wire format, additional details make it easier to implement your request.

This client requires Python 3.5+.

Quickstart

pip install brainfm

>>> import brainfm
>>> client = brainfm.Connection("[e-mail]", "hunter2")
>>> client.get_stations()
[{'name': 'Cinematic Music Focus', 'station_id': 300,
  'canonical_name': 'explore.focus.cinematic'},
 {'name': 'Beach Focus', 'station_id': 53,
  'canonical_name': 'explore.focus.beach'},
 ...]
>>> client.get_station(station_id=53)
{'name': 'Beach Focus', 'station_id': 53, 'canonical_name': 'explore.focus.beach'}
>>> client.get_token(station_id=53)
{'session_token': '63f4b59b-93f4-45e6-b0c2-eb6b1582fb96',
 'group': 'FOCUS', 'name': 'Beach Focus', 'session_id': 121,
 'station_id': 53}

Now, open the stream using that token:

CLI

Needs a credentials file in ~/.brainfm/config with the format:

{
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "password": "hunter2"
}

Usage:

$ brain ls
+Available Stations------------+---------------------------+
| id  | name                   | canonical                 |
+-----+------------------------+---------------------------+
| 34  | Relaxed Focus          | explore.relaxed           |
| 53  | Beach Focus            | explore.focus.beach       |
| 54  | Chimes & Bowls Focus   | explore.focus.bells       |

| ... | ...                    | ...                       |

+-----+------------------------+---------------------------+

$ brain gs 60
{
    "canonical_name": "explore.focus.wind",
    "name": "Wind Focus",
    "station_id": 60
}

$ brain gt 60
{
    "group": "FOCUS",
    "name": "Wind Focus",
    "session_id": 143,
    "session_token": "3ff0eab0-a5f6-11e6-a5c2-f11c700a6178",
    "station_id": 60
}

$ brain play 60
# opens a browser at:
#   https://stream.brain.fm/?tkn=3ff0eab0-a5f6-11e6-a5c2-f11c700a6178

User-Agent

By default the user agent is github.com/numberoverzero/brainfm followed by the project __version__. There is also a packaged browser-like user-agent:

>>> client = brainfm.Connection(...)
>>> client.user_agent = brainfm.BROWSER

Instead of filtering, maybe this will be a good metric for customer interest in an official API :heart:
