[UNMAINTAINED] Python Aternos

An unofficial Aternos API written in Python.
It uses aternos' private API and html parsing.

Python Aternos supports:

  • Logging in to account with password (plain or hashed) or ATERNOS_SESSION cookie value
  • Saving session to the file and restoring
  • Changing username, email and password
  • Parsing Minecraft servers list
  • Parsing server info by its ID
  • Starting/stoping server, restarting, confirming/cancelling launch
  • Updating server info in real-time (see WebSocket API)
  • Changing server subdomain and MOTD (message-of-the-day)
  • Managing files, settings, players (whitelist, operators, etc.)

Install

Common

$ pip install python-aternos

Note for Windows users

Install lxml package from here if you have problems with it, and then execute:
pip install --no-deps python-aternos

Development

$ git clone https://github.com/DarkCat09/python-aternos.git
$ cd python-aternos
$ pip install -e .[dev]

Usage

To use Aternos API in your Python script, import it and login with your username and password or its MD5 hash.

Then request the servers list using list_servers().
You can start/stop your Aternos server, calling start() or stop().

Here is an example how to use the API:

# Import
from python_aternos import Client

# Create object
atclient = Client()

# Log in
# with username and password
atclient.login('example', 'test123')
# ----OR----
# with username and MD5 hashed password
atclient.login_hashed('example', 'cc03e747a6afbbcbf8be7668acfebee5')
# ----OR----
# with session cookie
atclient.login_with_session('ATERNOS_SESSION cookie value')

# Get AternosAccount object
aternos = atclient.account

# Get servers list
servs = aternos.list_servers()

# Get the first server
myserv = servs[0]

# Start
myserv.start()
# Stop
myserv.stop()

# You can also find server by IP
testserv = None
for serv in servs:
    if serv.address == 'test.aternos.org':
        testserv = serv

if testserv is not None:
    # Prints the server software and its version
    # (for example, "Vanilla 1.12.2")
    print(testserv.software, testserv.version)
    # Starts server
    testserv.start()
