A python wrapper for the lemmy HTTP API. Forked from plaw by Benjamin Jablonski (benja810)
Project description
Python Lemmy API Wrapper
Like PRAW but for Lemmy
Written using the Lemmy TS library for reference.
Forked from benja810's plaw
Currently, most of the API functions are implemented, but there are likely quite a few bugs. It is a bit difficult to test at the moment without spinning up a new instance.
If you find any bugs, let me know on the issues page
Installation
jplaw can be installed from PYPI through pip:
python -m pip install jplaw
Usage example
This example uses python-dotenv to load secrets from the .env
file, which is not strictly necessary.
import jplaw
import dotenv
#Load secrets with dotenv
dotenv.load_dotenv()
my_instance = os.getenv("LEMMY_INSTANCE")
my_username = os.getenv("LEMMY_USERNAME")
my_password = os.getenv("LEMMY_PASSWORD")
lem = jplaw.Lemmy(my_instance, my_username, my_password)
#Print the JSON response from the community list
print(lem.Community.list())
#Print the JSON response from getting a specific community
print(lem.Community.get("test@lemmy.ml"))
Documentation
See the documentation for more information on how to use jplaw.
