deezer-python 0.8.0

A friendly wrapper library for the Deezer API

Deezer Python Client

A friendly wrapper around the Deezer API.

Installation

The package is published on PyPI and can be installed by running:

pip install deezer-python

Basic Use

So far you can only retrieve the data for the public objects, for which no login is required. The objects are translated to python resources, which are basically python objects encapsulating the json dictionary returned by the API.

>>> client = deezer.Client()
>>> client.get_album(12).title
u'Monkey Business'

See the whole API reference on the Sphinx generated documentation.

Asynchronous client

You also can use an AsyncClient with tornado, which requires an optional dependency. You should install with pip install deezer-python[tornado]. Then, making requests look like:

>>> from tornado.gen import coroutine
>>> from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop
>>> from deezer.contrib.tornado import AsyncClient
>>>
>>>
>>> @coroutine
... def main():
...     client = AsyncClient()
...     album = yield client.get_album(12)
...     print(album.title)
...
>>> IOLoop.instance().run_sync(main)
Monkey Business

Authentication

Not supported by this package. There are excellent other python modules to handle that. There is the excellent Python Social Auth, which supports Deezer authentication.

History

0.8.0 (2018-10-30)

• Added index and limit to Client.search & Client.get_charts. Defaults are set to Deezer API defaults.

• Changed tornado to be an optional requirement. If you want to use the asynchronous client, you need to install the library as follow pip install deezer-python[tornado].

• Simplified a couple of things to rely more on six for Python compatibility.

• Auto-format code using black.

0.7.0 (2018-10-03)

• Breaking: the async module has been renamed asynchronous as it was breaking under Python 3.7, thanks Matheus Horstmann for the patch

• Optimisation: the session is now stored internally by the client

0.6.1 (2017-06-19)

• Added access token to the request kwargs. Thanks Nikolay Sheregeda for the patch.

• Documentation update, thanks Khamaileon for the correction.

0.6.0 (2016-12-27)

• Refactoring to use requests instead of urllib, mocking using Requests mock instead of manual patching. Use six for Python 2 and 3 compatibility.
