PiShock for Python

The bestest Python PiShock API wrapper and CLI!

If you have no idea what PiShock is: I'm left wondering how you found this, but it's an ecosystem around using dog shock collars on humans (clearly the better way to use them!).

• Pythonic, easy-to-use API.
• Beautiful command-line interface to send shocks/vibrates/beeps, manage share codes, keep someone on their toes with random shocks, interfacing with the PiShock over USB/serial, upgrading firmware, and more!
• Ticks the boxes: Support for mini-shocks, getting shocker info, and various other undocumented API features. If it's possible to do, this project probably supports it.
• Local shocking: Drop-in support for the USB serial API instead of HTTP.
• Battle-tested: I accidentally shocked my balls while developing so you don't have to (I wish this was a joke).
• High-quality, modern codebase: Type annotations in Mypy strict mode, Linting/Formatting via Ruff, Automated tests with pytest.
• Made with love: Decent test coverage, CI, nice documentation, …. — I love zappies and I love going the extra mile!
• Almost official: While this is not an official pishock.com product, I'm the same person who developed the code running on your PiShock that's sending out the shocks.
• Runs anywhere: Tested on CPython 3.8 to 3.12, on Windows, macOS and Linux. Possibly CircuitPython soon?

Using the CLI to send a vibrate (or a shock, if you dare):

$ pip install pishock
[...]

$ pishock init
👤 PiShock username (your own username): Zerario
🔑 PiShock API key (https://pishock.com/#/account): 964f1513-c76a-48cc-82d4-41e757d4eb04
✅ Credentials saved.

$ pishock code add my-shocker ABCDEF12345
✅  my-shocker    ABCDEF12345

$ pishock vibrate my-shocker --duration 1 --intensity 20
📳

Or via the Python API:

from pishock import PiShockAPI

username = "..."   # from pishock.com
api_key = "..."    # https://pishock.com/#/account
sharecode = "..."  # https://pishock.com/#/control (share button)

api = PiShockAPI(username, api_key)
shocker = api.shocker(sharecode)
shocker.vibrate(duration=1, intensity=10)

For serial USB usage:

from pishock import SerialAPI

shocker_id = 1234  # https://pishock.com/#/control (cogwheel button)

api = SerialAPI()
shocker = api.shocker(shocker_id)
shocker.vibrate(duration=1, intensity=10)
