A script that outputs realtime stats for custom lists of friends you create.

hypickle

A script that outputs realtime stats for custom lists of friends you create.

Installation:

To install, run the following command:

pip install hypickle

Besides installing the script, this will also automatically install its dependencies (the libraries requests, rich, mplcursors, deepdiff, and any of their own dependencies).

Then, create a new folder that will be used to store persistent information (such as friends lists you create). In this folder, make a textfile called 'api-key.txt', and paste your hypixel api key as the first line.

• To get this api key, make a hypixel developer account. The first part of this guide is helpful to do this.

After setting this up, you will be able to open a terminal window in this directory and run various commands with the hypickle script (explained below).

Main features:

• Basic usage is to run with hypickle *username/uuid*
  • This will output stats for the specified player, and then output any friends for them.
  • Since the friends endpoint of hypixel's API was deprecated, you must manually add any friends for them you want. To do this, run hypickle addfriends *username/uuid*
• If there's a player you run the program on often, consider making an alias for their uuid:
  • Run hypickle updateuuidaliases *username*
  • Then when running hypickle *username*, the program will automatically substitute the username for the uuid. This is useful when running the program in quick succession for the same player, since the hypixel api forces a cooldown when sending in a username instead of a uuid.
• You can also add an optional argument called 'all', if you'd like to output all friends (not just those currently online).
  • E.g., hypickle *username/uuid* all

Developer commands:

Open the root directory of the project in the terminal, and then:

• python3 main.py *args* allows you to test any local changes you've made to the project.
• vulture . will find unused code.
• mypy . will typecheck.
• pylint *.py will review the code for style.
• pydeps hypickle will output a dependency graph of the project's modules.
• python my-linter.py is a basic script I wrote that mainly attempts to find functions which are never/rarely used.
• pytest tests.py runs a few basic automated tests. To run manual tests (output to the screen needs to be judged by the tester), run python tests.py.
• vermin hypickle deduces the oldest version of python that works to run the project. The expected output is 3.8, corresponding with requires-python = ">= 3.8" in pyproject.toml.

Acknowledgements:

The hypixel.py and leveling.py files were originally from Snuggle's repo. Since then I have made a number of modifications to them.
