parler-api 2.0

Parler API library - v2

Parler API interface for Python

This UNOFFICIAL library designed to programatically fetch data from parler.com

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

This library supports the new (as of 2022-02-06) Parler open-api / logged-in endpoints. Both logged in and guest modes are supported.

To do list:

• Implement unfinished authed functions
• Rework experiments
• Have a github action (several!) to archive posts, run analysises, etc..
• Testing, testing
• Publish to pypi

Authentication:

There are two modes of using the API. Authenticated and Guest.

Authentication is done by initializing the Parler class, importing Parler.with_auth and initializing an AuthSession with your credentials.

from Parler import with_auth as authed

au = authed.AuthSession(debug=False)
au.is_logged_in # ==> False
au.login(
	identifier=os.getenv("email"),
	password=os.getenv("password")
)

au.is_logged_in # ==> True

Here is a chart of how the functions are "loginwalled" or not.
