Lightweight Python wrapper for Gallica (BnF) SRU & IIIF.

Project description

pyGallica

PyPI version Python versions License: MIT CI

pyGallica est un wrapper Python léger pour l’API SRU et IIIF de Gallica (BnF). Il fournit :

  • un client HTTP (basé sur httpx) avec retries,
  • des helpers CQL pour construire des requêtes,
  • un itérateur de recherche paginée,
  • un parseur XML → objets Python / JSON / DataFrame,
  • et quelques utilitaires IIIF (manifest, vignettes, pages).

⚠️ Respectez les CGU de Gallica (quotas, réutilisation, attribution). Ce projet n’est ni affilié ni supporté par la BnF.


Installation

# depuis la racine du repo
pip install -e ".[pandas]"
# ou sans pandas
pip install -e .

Python 3.10+ recommandé.
Exemples d’usage
Recherche SRU simple (paginée)

from pyGallica import GallicaClient, build_cql, search_iter

cli = GallicaClient(user_agent="pyGallica/0.1")

# Exemple : cartes/images sur "Paris" vers 1900
q = build_cql(title="Paris", doc_type="image", date="1900")

records = list(search_iter(cli, free_cql=q, page_size=50, limit=150))
print(f"Fetched {len(records)} records")
print(records[0].ark, records[0].title)

Conversion en JSON / DataFrame

from pyGallica import records_to_json, records_to_dataframe

js = records_to_json(records)
print(js[0])

# DataFrame (si pandas installé)
df = records_to_dataframe(records)
print(df.head())

IIIF : manifest & vignettes

from pyGallica import GallicaClient

cli = GallicaClient()
ark = "ark:/12148/btv1b1234567z"

manifest = cli.get_manifest(ark)
pages = cli.list_pages_from_manifest(manifest)
print(f"{len(pages)} pages")

thumb = cli.get_thumbnail(ark, page=1, max_width=300)
with open("thumb.jpg", "wb") as f:
    f.write(thumb)

Concepts clés

    SRU : recherche via CQL (dc.title, dc.creator, dc.date, dc.type, dc.language, dc.subject, ).
    Helpers fournis : cql_all, cql_any, cql_and, cql_or, build_cql.

    Pagination : basée sur startRecord, maximumRecords et nextRecordPosition.
    Utilisez search_iter() pour streamer les résultats.

    IIIF : récupération de manifest.json, listing des pages et tuiles images.

API de haut niveau (sélection)

from pyGallica import (
  GallicaClient, validate_ark,
  build_cql, cql_all, cql_any, cql_and, cql_or,
  search_iter, search_all,
  parse_sru_xml, records_to_json, records_to_dataframe,
  SRURecord, SRUResult,
  GallicaError, GallicaHTTPError, GallicaAPIError, GallicaParseError,
)

Développement
Installer les dépendances

python -m pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
pip install -e ".[pandas]" pytest ruff black

Lancer les tests

pytest -q

Lint & format

Compatibilité & limites

    L’API SRU de Gallica est hétérogène : certains enregistrements utilisent <oai_dc:dc>, d’autres un conteneur <dc> simple. Le parseur est tolérant et lit les dc:* depuis recordData.

    dc:identifier peut contenir un ARK ou une URL complète : pyGallica tente d’extraire l’ARK (ark:/...) quand c’est pertinent.
