Overview

With an iCloud+ subscription you get this nice "HideMyMail" feature that let's you create random email addresses that forward to your personal inbox. Let's use our subscription at its best and easily generate them instead of buying address lists.

There are some other similar open source projects around, but I hated the fact that the login was via a "copy and paste" cookies logic. Here you get everything done properly with full SRP authentication and 2FA support.

Installation

pip install icloud-hme

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/glizzykingdreko/icloud-hidemymail-generator

pip install -e .

Quick Start

Rate Limits

Apple enforces the following rate limits on HideMyEmail:

The CLI automatically detects rate limits and displays warnings when they're hit.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.icloud-hme/:

~/.icloud-hme/
├── account1_at_icloud_com/
│   ├── session.json      # Authentication tokens
│   └── emails.json       # Generated emails log
└── account2_at_icloud_com/
    └── ...

Session tokens and all of your data is stored locally.

Python API Usage

You can also use the library programmatically:

from icloud_hme import ICloudSession, HideMyEmailGenerator

# Authenticate
session = ICloudSession()
session.login("your@icloud.com", "password")

# Generate emails
generator = HideMyEmailGenerator(session)
emails = generator.generate_multiple(
    count=5,
    reserve=True,
    label_prefix="api_test"
)

for email in emails:
    print(email)
