osfclient 0.0.4

Installing

To use osfclient install it via pip:

$ pip install osfclient

For details on participating in the development of osfclient check out the Contributing section.

Usage

This project provides two things: a python library and a command-line program for interacting with files stored in the OSF.

The python library forms the basis for the command-line program. If you want programmatic access to your files use the library, otherwise try out the command-line program.

Read the full documentation: https://osfclient.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Below are some examples on how to use it:

# get help and see available commands, get help on a specific command
$ osf -h
$ osf <command> -h

# setup a local folder for an existing project
$ osf init

# list all files for the project
$ osf ls

# fetch all files for the project
$ osf clone

# fetch an individual file from a project
$ osf fetch remote/path.txt local/file.txt

# add a new file
$ osf upload local/file.txt remote/path.txt

# add a new directory
$ osf upload -r local/directory/ remote/directory

If the project is private you will need to provide authentication details. The password will be retrieved from the OSF_PASSWORD environment variable or you will be asked directly by the tool when you run it.

You can set default values by using a configuration file in the current directory. This is what osf init does for you. To set the username and project ID create .osfcli.config:

[osf]
username = yourOSFaccount@example.com
project = 9zpcy

after which you can simply run osf ls to list the contents of the project.
