Poller for the Chaturbate events API.

Chaturbate Poller

Chaturbate Poller is a Python application designed to periodically fetch and process events from the Chaturbate API. It utilizes asynchronous HTTP requests and parses the received events for further processing or storage.

Features

• Asynchronous event fetching from the Chaturbate API.
• Error handling and retry logic for network requests.
• Logging of fetched events and error conditions for audit and debugging.
• Environment variable-based configuration for API credentials.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• httpx
• Pydantic
• asyncio
• dotenv

Setup

To set up the Chaturbate Poller, follow these steps:

1. Ensure Python 3.8 or higher is installed on your system.
2. Install the Python package:

$ pip install chaturbate-poller

3. Set up your environment variables by creating a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

CB_USERNAME=your_chaturbate_username
CB_TOKEN=your_api_token

Replace your_chaturbate_username and your_api_token with your actual Chaturbate username and API token.

Usage Examples

import asyncio
import logging
import os

from chaturbate_poller import ChaturbateClient
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

username = os.getenv("CB_USERNAME", "")
token = os.getenv("CB_TOKEN", "")


async def main() -> None:
    async with ChaturbateClient(username, token, 20) as client:
        response = await client.fetch_events()
        for event in response.events:
            logging.info(event.dict())  # Log the event as a dictionary


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

The application will start and begin fetching and printing events from the Chaturbate API using the credentials provided in the .env file.

See examples/ for more detailed usage instructions, including usage regarding the included Pydantic models.
