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 token in a hidden .env file that does not get distributed with your code. This is pretty easy to accomplish with python-dotenv. You can get your user token by going to your eScriptorium instance (perhaps https://escriptorium.fr/), logging in, clicking on your username then "profile", and selecting "Api key". The token is a fairly long string of random letters and numbers.

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 = os.getenv('ESCRIPTORIUM_URL')
    api = f'{url}api/'
    token = os.getenv('ESCRIPTORIUM_TOKEN')
    escr = EscriptoriumConnector(url, api, token)
    print(escr.get_documents())

And your .env file should have:

ESCRIPTORIUM_URL=https://www.escriptorium.fr/
ESCRIPTORIUM_TOKEN='your secret user token here'
