Pysh - a phish.net API client in Python

Pysh is a Python wrapper for the phish.net API that can be used to query for Phish songs, setlists, shows, venues, and other phish related data. This project is not associated with phish.net and you must follow their API's terms of service while using this project.

This wraps the API described in the phish.net API v5 Docs.

Installation

This package is available on pypi pysh-client and can be installed by running:

pip install pysh-client

Requirements

API Key

You will need to setup an API key which requires you have a phish.net account.
This library gets the key from the PHISH_API_KEY environment variable.
Once you have your API key run the following before you can use this library.

export PHISH_API_KEY=xxx

You can alternatively pass the API key to the client when constructing it like this:

from pysh import Client
c = Client(apikey="xxx")

Usage

Filtering

There are a few ways to filter in your query calls. Filtering is optional.

1. You can filter by id, for example if trying to get a show by the show id you can specify get_shows(id=123)
2. OR, you can filter by a category and value, the category being one of the attributes in the schema of that method. For example get_shows(column='showyear', value='1995') which returns all shows in 1995.

Additional Parameters

There are additional parameters you can define for all client methods defined by the Parameters class that allows you to define the following optional parameters if desired:

1. order_by: name of column to sort by
2. direction: direction to sort, either asc or desc (default asc)
3. limit: number, maximum number of results to return
4. no_header: if requesting data in HTML format, the argument _noheader will suppress the Phish.net banner
5. callback: if requesting data in JSON format, sending a callback will wrap the resulting JSON file in a callback function call

from pysh import Parameters, Client
c = Client()
c.get_shows(parameters=Parameters(order_by='showdate', direction='desc'))

You can read more about each of these parameters in the Parameters Docs

Examples

Get all shows

c.get_shows()

Get a Show by Year

c.get_shows(column="showyear", value="2020")

Get a song by name

c.get_songs(column="slug", value="bug")

Get a setlist for a show by date

c.get_setlists(column="showdate", value="1984-10-23")

Client API Methods

Below are the currently available API methods usable via this client. I've not yet added the three special methods (attendance, reviews, and users) but will at some point.

Each pysh client method below corresponds to the phish.net api method and the return value is always a list of dictionaries with the below dictionary schema.
