icakad 0.1.4

Utilities and tools for my apis and other life hacks.

icakad

Lightweight Python client for managing short links hosted on the linkove.icu worker.
The package exports a small set of helpers that wrap the service API so automations and scripts can add, edit, delete, or list slugs without hand-crafting HTTP requests.

Highlights

• Minimal footprint: only depends on requests
• Module-level configuration for base URL, bearer token, and debug logging
• Uniform response handling that normalises the list endpoint payload

Installation

pip install icakad

Install requests separately if it is not already available in your environment.

Quick Start

from icakad import add_link, edit_link, delete_link, list_links
from icakad import shorturl

# Configure credentials and optional debugging up front
shorturl.HEADERS["Authorization"] = "Bearer <your-token>"
shorturl.DEBUG = False

# Create or overwrite a slug
add_link(slug="docs", url="https://example.com/docs")

# Update an existing slug
edit_link(slug="docs", new_url="https://example.com/documentation")

# Fetch the full catalogue
links = list_links()
print(links.get("docs"))

# Remove a slug
delete_link(slug="docs")

Each helper returns the JSON body produced by the worker. Inspect it for status codes, error messages, or additional metadata.

API Reference

All helpers live in icakad.shorturl and are re-exported at the package root for convenience.

Function	Description
add_link(slug: str, url: str) -> dict	Create or overwrite a slug with the target URL.
edit_link(slug: str, new_url: str) -> dict	Update an existing slug. Backed by POST /api/<slug>.
delete_link(slug: str) -> dict	Delete the slug via DELETE /api/<slug>.
list_links() -> dict[str, str]	Retrieve all slugs. Normalises both list-style and {"items": [...]} payloads.

Configuration

Tweak behaviour by adjusting attributes on icakad.shorturl:

• BASE: API root (default https://linkove.icu). Point this elsewhere for staging or local testing.
• HEADERS: Dictionary of headers supplied with every request. Set the bearer token here.
• DEBUG: When True, prints HTTP status codes and JSON responses to stdout.

Feel free to override the module-level requests usage with your own session or retry logic by wrapping these helpers.

Error Handling Tips

• Wrap calls in try/except requests.RequestException for transport-level issues.
• Validate mandatory keys in the returned JSON before relying on them.
• Enable DEBUG when tuning your worker or troubleshooting authentication.

Development

Clone the repository and install it in editable mode:

pip install -e .

Build packages:

python -m build

Run any tests or scripts you add:

python -m pytest

Contributions that improve ergonomics (e.g., async helpers, richer error handling) are welcome.
