📦 EmojiDB

Simple python wrapper for emojidb.com.

⭐️ Usage

pip install emojidb-python

The library can be asynchronously and synchronously.

from asyncio import run
from emojidb import EmojiDBClient


async def main():
    async with EmojiDBClient() as client:
        emojis = await client.search("love")
        print(*emojis, sep=", ")

        client.like(emojis[0], query)

run(main())

from emojidb import EmojiDBClient

client = EmojiDBClient()
emojis = client.search("love")
print(*emojis, sep=", ")

You can also do more than just fetch emojis. All of those functions work both async and synchronously. Here are all functionalities.

from emojidb import EmojiDBClient

client = EmojiDBClient()

# fetch emojis
emojis = client.search("love")
print(*emojis, sep=", ")
# if you want to fetch similar emojis,
# you can just use the search function an pass in the emoji
emojis = client.search("🥺")
print(*emojis, sep=", ")

# like an emoji
client.like("🥺", "pleading face")

# dislike an emoji
client.dislike("🥺", "pleading face")

# suggest a new emoji
client.add_emoji("🥺", "pleading face")

If you want to change the caching behavior you can easily do so by just passing a custom cache class in the client.

from emojidb import EmojiDBClient, EmojiCache, DisableEmojiCache, EmojiCacheSqlite

# use sqlite as cache (DEFAULT with expires in 30 days)
client = EmojiDBClient(EmojiCacheSqlite(expire_after_days=1))

# disable the cache
client = EmojiDBClient(DisableEmojiCache())

# custom cache
class MemoryCache(EmojiCache):
    """
    This cache only caches everything in memory.
    When initializing a new client the cache wouldn't persist
    """
    def __init__(self):
        self.data = {}

    def has_cache(self, query: str) -> bool:
        return query in self.data

    def get_cache(self, query: str) -> List[str]:
        return self.data.get(query, [])

    def write_cache(self, query: str, emojis: List[str]):
        return self.data[query] = emojis

    def clear_cache(self):
        self.data = {}

client = EmojiDBClient(MemoryCache())

The functions EmojiCache.clean_cache() and EmojiCache.clear_cache() are never called by the client, but it is recommended to still implement them.

Programms that use this library can use these functions by doing this:

from emojidb import EmojiDBClient

client = EmojiDBClient(DisableEmojiCache())
client.cache.clean_cache()
client.cache.clear_cache()

Features

• use an asynchronous client or a synchronous one
• cache the results using sqlite
• search for emojis
• like and dislike emojis (please do not abuse that)
