pypleasant

pypleasant is a Python script and library which interfaces with the API of Pleasant Password Server.

pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --password  # print an entry's password
pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --attachments secret_file.txt  # download an attachment
pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --custom-field test  # print value of a custom field
pleasant-cli 36a9f39f-78a1-4ec5-ae1a-421d91f59d2a --password # alternatively you can also use the uuid of the entry

Requirements

pypleasant requires Python >= 3.6 and is only compatible with Pleasant Password Server API v5.

Installation

pypleasant is available on PyPi and can be easily installed via pip:

pip install pypleasant

In order to use the command-line client pleasant-cli, ensure that your PATH variable includes Python's bin directory (adapt if necessary):

export PATH+=":$HOME/.local/bin"

Use the --help switch to check whether everything is setup correctly:

pleasant-cli --help

Alternatively, pypleasant can be executed as a Python module without modifying the PATH variable:

python -m pypleasant --help

Configuration

pleasant-cli prompts the user for missing login information required for the Pleasant API. This information can be configured (partially or completely) using command-line parameters or environment variables:

• --api-url or PYPLEASANT_API_URL
• --api-user or PYPLEASANT_API_USER
• --api-password (NOT RECOMMENDED) or PYPLEASANT_API_PASSWORD

In case self-signed certificates are used, consider disabling the HTTPS certificate check via --disable-cert-check or by setting PYPLEASANT_DISABLE_CERT_CHECK=true.

Usage

Print entry attributes:

pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --username
pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --password
pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --url

Access a custom field's value:

pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --custom-field test

Download attachments (defaults to the current directory):

pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --attachments  # downloads all attachments
pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --attachments secret_file.txt
pleasant-cli /path/to/entry --attachments file_1.txt file_2.txt --download-dir /path/to/download/dir
