About

This is an asynchronous Python client for the Firefly III API. It is designed to be used with the Firefly III container management tool. This package is a wrapper around the Firefly III API, which allows you to interact with Firefly III programmatically.

In it's current stage it's still in development and not all endpoints are implemented yet.

from pyfirefly import Firefly


async def main() -> None:

    async with Firefly(
        api_url="http://localhost:9000",
        api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    ) as firefly:
        about = await firefly.get_about()
        print("Firefly information:", about)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Setting up development environment

The simplest way to begin is by utilizing the Dev Container feature of Visual Studio Code or by opening a CodeSpace directly on GitHub. By clicking the button below you immediately start a Dev Container in Visual Studio Code.

This Python project uses uv for dependency management and task running, providing fast, reliable installs and simple command execution.

You need at least:

• Python 3.11+
• uv

Installation

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

uv sync --all-groups

uv will create and manage a virtual environment and install all dependencies.

Pre-commit

This repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. To setup the pre-commit check, run:

uv run pre-commit install

And to run all checks and tests manually, use the following command:

uv run pre-commit run --all-files

Testing

It uses pytest as the test framework. To run the tests:

uv run pytest

To update the syrupy snapshot tests:

uv run pytest --snapshot-update
