pybyte 0.1.7

Byte API Wrapper for Python

---

A Python wrapper for the byte.co app.

Python 3.6+ Required.

---

Attention: This project was built in a weekend (mostly in the weekend that it was launched) as such this is not production level software.

Byte does not have an official web API for developers, and most likely this will violate the ToS. Endpoints were found from the mobile app. As such, this wrapper can break at anytime. Do not rely on this wrapper.

---
