# Filestack Python SDK
<a href="https://www.filestack.com"><img src="https://filestack.com/themes/filestack/assets/images/press-articles/color.svg" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="6"></a>
This is the official Python SDK for Filestack - API and content management system that makes it easy to add powerful file uploading and transformation capabilities to any web or mobile application.

## Resources

* [Filestack](https://www.filestack.com)
* [Documentation](https://www.filestack.com/docs)
* [API Reference](https://filestack.github.io/)

## Installing

Install ``filestack`` with pip

$ pip install filestack

or directly from GitHub

$ pip install git+https://github.com/filestack/filestack-python.git

## Usage

The Filestack SDK allows you to upload and handle filelinks using two main classes: Client and Filelink.

### Uploading New File with Client
``` python
from filestack import Client
client = Client("<YOUR_API_KEY>")

params = {'mimetype': 'image/png'}
new_filelink = client.upload(filepath="path/to/file", params=params)
print(new_filelink.url)
```
Uploading local files will use Filestack's multipart upload by default. To disable, just set the argument to false.

```python
new_filelink = client.upload(filepath="path/to/file", multipart=False)
```

### Create Filelink using Existing Handle
```python
from filestack import Filelink
new_filelink = Filelink("<YOUR_HANDLE>")
````

### Basic Filelink Functions

With a Filelink, you can download to a local path or get the content of a file. You can also delete or overwrite files if you have security enabled on your account.

```python
file_content = new_filelink.get_content()

response = new_filelink.download("/path/to/file")

filelink.overwrite(filepath="path/to/new/file")

response = filelink.delete()
```

### Transformations

You can chain transformations on both Filelinks and external URLs. Storing transformations will return a new Filelink object.

```python
transform = client.transform_external('http://<SOME_URL>')
new_filelink = transform.resize(width=500, height=500).flip().enhance().store()

filelink = Filelink("<YOUR_HANDLE">)
new_filelink = filelink.resize(width=500, height=500).flip().enhance().store()
```

You can also retrieve the transformation url at any point.
```python
transform = client.transform_external('http://<SOME_URL>')
new_filelink = transform.resize(width=500, height=500).flip().enhance()
print(transform.url)
```

### Security Objects

Security is set on Client or Filelink classes upon instantiation.
```python
from filestack import security

json_policy = {"expiry": 253381964415}
security = security(json_policy, '<YOUR_APP_SECRET>')
client = Client("<YOUR_API_KEY", security=security)

# new Filelink object inherits security and will use for all calls
new_filelink = client.upload(filepath="path/to/file")
```
