Installation

Install pre-release version

pip install bricklink-py --pre

Quick Start

from bricklink_py import Bricklink

session = Bricklink('your_credentials')

Example Usage

from html import unescape
from bricklink_py import Bricklink

# Initialize API session
session = Bricklink(
    consumer_key='your_consumer_key',
    consumer_secret='your_consumer_secret',
    token='your_token',
    token_secret='your_token_secret'
)

# Check pricing for a specific set
set_no = '75281-1'

# Get basic set information
set_item = session.catalog_item.get_item('SET', set_no)
set_name = unescape(set_item['name'])
set_weight = set_item['weight']
year_released = set_item['year_released']

# Get pricing data
price_guide = session.catalog_item.get_price_guide('SET', set_no, guide_type='sold')
avg_price = float(price_guide['avg_price'])
currency = price_guide['currency_code']

print(f'The "{set_name}" set was released in {year_released}.')
print(f'It weighs {set_weight}g.')
print(f'Average sold price for last 6 months: {avg_price:.2f} {currency}')

Output:

The "Anakin's Jedi Interceptor" set was released in 2020.
It weighs 360.00g.
Average sold price for last 6 months: 41.27 EUR
