How To Use

Create a Mega account

First, create an account with Mega .

Install mega.py package

Run the following command, or run setup from the latest github source.

pip install mega.py

Import mega.py

from mega import Mega

Create an instance of Mega.py

mega = Mega()

Login to Mega

m = mega.login(email, password)
# login using a temporary anonymous account
m = mega.login()

Get user details

details = m.get_user()

Get account balance (Pro accounts only)

balance = m.get_balance()

Get account disk quota

quota = m.get_quota()

Get account storage space

# specify unit output kilo, mega, gig, else bytes will output
space = m.get_storage_space(kilo=True)

Get account files

files = m.get_files()

Upload a file, and get its public link

file = m.upload('myfile.doc')
m.get_upload_link(file)
# see mega.py for destination and filename options

Export a file or folder

public_exported_web_link = m.export('myfile.doc')
public_exported_web_link = m.export('my_mega_folder/my_sub_folder_to_share')
# e.g. https://mega.nz/#F!WlVl1CbZ!M3wmhwZDENMNUJoBsdzFng

Find a file or folder

folder = m.find('my_mega_folder')
# Excludes results which are in the Trash folder (i.e. deleted)
folder = m.find('my_mega_folder', exclude_deleted=True)

Upload a file to a destination folder

folder = m.find('my_mega_folder')
m.upload('myfile.doc', folder[0])

Download a file from URL or file obj, optionally specify destination folder

file = m.find('myfile.doc')
m.download(file)
m.download_url('https://mega.co.nz/#!utYjgSTQ!OM4U3V5v_W4N5edSo0wolg1D5H0fwSrLD3oLnLuS9pc')
m.download(file, '/home/john-smith/Desktop')
# specify optional download filename (download_url() supports this also)
m.download(file, '/home/john-smith/Desktop', 'myfile.zip')

Import a file from URL, optionally specify destination folder

m.import_public_url('https://mega.co.nz/#!utYjgSTQ!OM4U3V5v_W4N5edSo0wolg1D5H0fwSrLD3oLnLuS9pc')
folder_node = m.find('Documents')[1]
m.import_public_url('https://mega.co.nz/#!utYjgSTQ!OM4U3V5v_W4N5edSo0wolg1D5H0fwSrLD3oLnLuS9pc', dest_node=folder_node)

Create a folder

m.create_folder('new_folder')
m.create_folder('new_folder/sub_folder/subsub_folder')

Returns a dict of folder node name and node_id, e.g.

{
  'new_folder': 'qpFhAYwA',
  'sub_folder': '2pdlmY4Z',
  'subsub_folder': 'GgMFCKLZ'
}
