Library

from omglol import OmgLol

client = OmgLol(api_key="your_key", address="yourname")

# Weblog
client.post_markdown("my-post.md")
client.create_post(title="Hello World", content="This is my post.")
for post in client.list_posts():
    print(post.title, post.location)
client.delete_post("my-post-slug")

# Pastebin
client.create_paste("notes", "Some text")
for paste in client.list_pastes():
    print(paste.title)

# Statuslog
client.post_status("Hello from the API!", emoji="🎉")
for status in client.list_statuses():
    print(status.emoji, status.content)

# PURLs
client.create_purl("gh", "https://github.com/you")
for purl in client.list_purls():
    print(f"{purl.name} → {purl.url}")

# /now page
now = client.get_now()
print(now.content)
client.update_now("Currently building things")

# DNS
for rec in client.list_dns_records():
    print(f"{rec.record_type} {rec.name} → {rec.data}")
client.create_dns_record("CNAME", "www", "example.com")

# Web page / profile
client.update_web("<h1>My page</h1>")

# Email forwarding
client.set_email_forwarding("me@example.com")

# Profile picture
client.upload_pfp("avatar.png")

# Account
info = client.get_address_info()

All list/get methods return typed dataclasses (Post, Paste, Status, Purl, DnsRecord, NowPage) instead of raw dicts.

Markdown frontmatter

Weblog posts can include optional frontmatter:

---
title: My Post Title
date: 2026-03-14 12:00
slug: custom-slug
---

Body content here...

If no frontmatter is present, the first # Heading is used as the title.
