pykeepass 3.0.2

Python library to interact with keepass databases (supports KDBX3 and KDBX4)

pykeepass
============

This library allows you to write entries to a KeePass database

Simple Example
--------------
.. code:: python

from pykeepass import PyKeePass

# load database
>>> kp = PyKeePass('db.kdbx', password='somePassw0rd')

# find any group by its name
>>> group = kp.find_groups(name='social', first=True)

# get the entries in a group
>>> group.entries
[Entry: "social/facebook (myusername)", Entry: "social/twitter (myusername)"]

# find any entry by its title
>>> entry = kp.find_entries(title='facebook', first=True)

# retrieve the associated password
>>> entry.password
's3cure_p455w0rd'

# update an entry
>>> entry.notes = 'primary facebook account'

# create a new group
>>> group = kp.add_group(kp.root_group, 'email')

# create a new entry
>>> kp.add_entry(group, 'gmail', 'myusername', 'myPassw0rdXX')
Entry: "email/gmail (myusername)"

# save database
>>> kp.save()

Context Manager Example
--------------
.. code:: python
>>> with PyKeePass('db.kdbx', password='somePassw0rd') as kp:
>>> entry = kp.find_entries(title='facebook', first=True)
>>> entry.password
's3cure_p455w0rd'

Finding Entries
----------------------

**find_entries** (title=None, username=None, password=None, url=None, notes=None, path=None, uuid=None, string=none, group=None, recursive=True, regex=False, flags=None, history=False, first=False)

Returns entries which match all provided parameters, where ``title``, ``username``, ``password``, ``url``, ``notes``, ``path`` and ``uuid`` are strings, ``string`` is a dict. This function has optional ``regex`` boolean and ``flags`` string arguments, which means to interpret search strings as `XSLT style`_ regular expressions with `flags`_.

.. _XSLT style: https://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/06/04/tr.html
.. _flags: https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#flags

The ``path`` string can be a direct path to an entry, or (when ending in ``/``) the path to the group to recursively search under.

The ``string`` dict allows for searching custom string fields. ex. ``{'custom_field1': 'custom value', 'custom_field2': 'custom value'}``

The ``group`` argument determines what ``Group`` to search under, and the ``recursive`` boolean controls whether to search recursively.

The ``history`` (default ``False``) boolean controls whether history entries should be included in the search results.

The ``first`` (default ``False``) boolean controls whether to return the first matched item, or a list of matched items.

* if ``first=False``, the function returns a list of ``Entry`` s or ``[]`` if there are no matches
* if ``first=True``, the function returns the first ``Entry`` match, or ``None`` if there are no matches

**entries**

a flattened list of all entries in the database

.. code:: python

>>> kp.entries
[Entry: "foo_entry (myusername)", Entry: "foobar_entry (myusername)", Entry: "social/gmail (myusername)", Entry: "social/facebook (myusername)"]

>>> kp.find_entries(title='gmail', first=True)
Entry: "social/gmail (myusername)"

>>> kp.find_entries(title='foo.*', regex=True)
[Entry: "foo_entry (myusername)", Entry: "foobar_entry (myusername)"]

>>> entry = kp.find_entries(title='foo.*', url='.*facebook.*', regex=True, first=True)
>>> entry.url
'facebook.com'
>>> entry.title
'foo_entry'

>>> group = kp.find_group(name='social', first=True)
>>> kp.find_entries(title='facebook', group=group, recursive=False, first=True)
Entry: "social/facebook (myusername)"

For backwards compatibility, the following function are also available:

**find_entries_by_title** (title, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

**find_entries_by_username** (username, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

**find_entries_by_password** (password, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

**find_entries_by_url** (url, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

**find_entries_by_notes** (notes, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

**find_entries_by_path** (path, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

**find_entries_by_uuid** (uuid, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

**find_entries_by_string** (string, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

Finding Groups
----------------------

**find_groups** (name=None, path=None, uuid=None, notes=None, group=None, recursive=True, regex=False, flags=None, first=False)

where ``name``, ``path``, ``uuid`` and ``notes`` are strings. This function has optional ``regex`` boolean and ``flags`` string arguments, which means to interpret search strings as `XSLT style`_ regular expressions with `flags`_.

.. _XSLT style: https://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/06/04/tr.html
.. _flags: https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#flags

The ``path`` string must end in ``/``.

The ``group`` argument determines what ``Group`` to search under, and the ``recursive`` boolean controls whether to search recursively.

The ``first`` (default ``False``) boolean controls whether to return the first matched item, or a list of matched items.

* if ``first=False``, the function returns a list of ``Group`` s or ``[]`` if there are no matches
* if ``first=True``, the function returns the first ``Group`` match, or ``None`` if there are no matches

**root_group**

the ``Root`` group to the database

**groups**

a flattened list of all groups in the database

.. code:: python

>>> kp.groups
[Group: "foo", Group "foobar", Group: "social", Group: "social/foo_subgroup"]

>>> kp.find_groups(name='foo', first=True)
Group: "foo"

>>> kp.find_groups(name='foo.*', regex=True)
[Group: "foo", Group "foobar"]

>>> kp.find_groups(path='social/', regex=True)
[Group: "social", Group: "social/foo_subgroup"]

>>> kp.find_groups(name='social', first=True).subgroups
[Group: "social/foo_subgroup"]

>>> kp.root_group
Group: "/"

For backwards compatibility, the following functions are also available:

**find_groups_by_name** (name, tree=None, regex=False, flags=None, first=False)

**find_groups_by_path** (path, tree=None, regex=False, flags=None, first=False)

**find_groups_by_uuid** (uuid, tree=None, regex=False, flags=None, first=False)

**find_groups_by_notes** (notes, tree=None, regex=False, flags=None, first=False)


Adding Entries
--------------
**add_entry** (destination_group, title, username, password, url=None, notes=None, tags=None, expiry_time=None, icon=None, force_creation=False)

**delete_entry** (entry)

**move_entry** (entry, destination_group)

where ``destination_group`` is a ``Group`` instance. ``entry`` is an ``Entry`` instance. ``title``, ``username``, ``password``, ``url``, ``notes``, ``tags``, ``icon`` are strings. ``expiry_time`` is a ``datetime`` instance.

If ``expiry_time`` is a naive datetime object (i.e. ``expiry_time.tzinfo`` is not set), the timezone is retrieved from ``dateutil.tz.gettz()``.

.. code:: python

# add a new entry to the Root group
>>> kp.add_entry(kp.root_group, 'testing', 'foo_user', 'passw0rd')
Entry: "testing (foo_user)"

# add a new entry to the social group
>>> group = find_groups(name='social', first=True)
>>> entry = kp.add_entry(group, 'testing', 'foo_user', 'passw0rd')
Entry: "testing (foo_user)"

# save the database
>>> kp.save()

# delete an entry
>>> kp.delete_entry(entry)

# move an entry
>>> kp.move_entry(entry, kp.root_group)

# save the database
>>> kp.save()

Adding Groups
--------------
**add_group** (destination_group, group_name, icon=None, notes=None)

**delete_group** (group)

**move_group** (group, destination_group)

``destination_group`` and ``group`` are instances of ``Group``. ``group_name`` is a string

.. code:: python

# add a new group to the Root group
>>> group = kp.add_group(kp.root_group, 'social')

# add a new group to the social group
>>> group2 = kp.add_group(group, 'gmail')
Group: "social/gmail"

# save the database
>>> kp.save()

# delete a group
>>> kp.delete_group(group)

# move a group
>>> kp.move_group(group2, kp.root_group)

# save the database
>>> kp.save()

Miscellaneous
-------------
**read** (filename, password=None, keyfile=None)

where ``filename``, ``password``, and ``keyfile`` are strings. ``filename`` is the path to the database, ``password`` is the master password string, and ``keyfile`` is the path to the database keyfile. At least one of ``password`` and ``keyfile`` is required.

**save** (filename=None)

where ``filename`` is the path of the file to save to. If ``filename`` is not given, the path given in ``read`` will be used.

**password**

string containing database password. Can also be set. Use ``None`` for no password.

**keyfile**

string containing path to the database keyfile. Can also be set. Use ``None`` for no keyfile.

**version**

tuple containing database version. e.g. ``(3, 1)`` is a KDBX version 3.1 database.

**encryption_algorithm**

string containing algorithm used to encrypt database. Possible values are ``aes256``, ``chacha20``, and ``twofish``.
