Automatically upload Signal stickers from a given path and YAML configuration

packpath

Automatically upload Signal stickers from a given path and YAML configuration

Install it

The package is available in PyPI, through pip:

  $ pip3 install packpath

But you can also simply checkout this repository and run it as a module:

  $ git clone https://github.com/diegoe/packpath.git
  $ cd packpath
  $ python3 -m packpath (plus arguments, see below)

How it works

packpath reads a path and loads a config.yaml file from it to automatically fill a signalstickers-client client, and submit stickers.

It subclasses signalstickers_client.models.LocalStickerPack to add a load_path() method.

You need to provide your username and password, as well as the path to a sticker directory containing a config.yaml file. See below for details on both, or run packpath --help:

  $ packpath --user [uuid_id] --password [password] [path_to_sticker_dir]

  # Most of this README and its instructions are available in the
  # command's help:
  $ packpath --help

YAML format

The YAML format is rather simple:

pack:
  title: Your sticker pack title
  author: An author name
  cover: filename-for-the-cover.png

stickers:
  filename.png: 👀
  another-filename.png: 👋
  (...)

To save yourself some work, you can use ls to output an almost ready list of filenames to use on your config.yaml:

  $ ls -1 >> config.yaml

Signal credentials

From https://github.com/signalstickers/signalstickers-client#uploading-a-pack:

You will need your Signal credentials To obtain them, open the Developer Tools in Signal Desktop, and type window.reduxStore.getState().items.uuid_id to get your USER, and window.reduxStore.getState().items.password to get your PASSWORD.

The above is also available in python3 -m packpath --help.

This is a simple wrapper on top of the very handy signalstickers-client.
