Escriptorium Connector

This simple python package makes it easy to connect to escriptorium and work with the data stored there.

Installation

And the obligatory: pip install escriptorium-connector

Usage

If you are working on a public repository, you will probably want to store your user credentials in a hidden .env file that does not get distributed with your code. This is pretty easy to accomplish with python-dotenv. You will need to provide the connector with an eScriptorium instance URL, the API URL, your username, and your password (see below).

The EscriptoriumConnector class provides (or will provide) all the methods needed to interact programmatically with the eScriptorium platform.

Example usage:

from escriptorium_connector import EscriptoriumConnector
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv


if __name__ == '__main__':
    load_dotenv()
    url = str(os.getenv('ESCRIPTORIUM_URL'))
    api = f'{url}api/'
    username = str(os.getenv('ESCRIPTORIUM_USERNAME'))
    password = str(os.getenv('ESCRIPTORIUM_PASSWORD'))
    escr = EscriptoriumConnector(url, api, username, password)
    print(escr.get_documents())

And your .env file should have:

ESCRIPTORIUM_URL=https://www.escriptorium.fr/
ESCRIPTORIUM_USERNAME=your escriptorium username
ESCRIPTORIUM_PASSWORD=your escriptorium password

See this Jupyter notebook for a longer introduction to the connector.
