Python client for the Friday Movie Club API

Friday Movie Club Client

Python client for the Friday Movie Club API.

fmc wraps the FMC REST API in a synchronous, typed client built on httpx and pydantic. Resources are exposed as attributes on a single FMCClient:

Attribute	Purpose
client.auth	Register, login (email/password or PAT), refresh tokens
client.users	Current-user profile and personal access tokens
client.clubs	Club CRUD, members, invitations, cover images
client.movies	Movie suggestions, rankings, TMDB search
client.events	Event CRUD, RSVPs, movie assignment

Requirements

• Python 3.12+

Installation

pip install python-fmc

Or with uv:

uv add python-fmc

Quickstart

from fmc import FMCClient

with FMCClient(base_url="https://api.example.com/api/v1") as client:
    # Login with email/password (sets the access token on the client)
    client.auth.login(email="[e-mail]", password="hunter2")

    # Or login with a Personal Access Token
    # client.auth.login(token="fmc_pat_...")

    # Create a club and list its members
    club = client.clubs.create("Friday Movie Club", description="Weekly hangout")
    members = client.clubs.list_members(club.id)

    for user in members.items:
        print(user.name, user.email)

If you already have an access token, pass it directly:

client = FMCClient(base_url="...", token="eyJhbGciOi...")

Errors

API errors are raised as subclasses of FMCError:

from fmc import FMCClient, NotFoundError, ValidationError

try:
    club = client.clubs.get("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000")
except NotFoundError:
    ...
except ValidationError as e:
    ...

Available exceptions: APIError, AuthenticationError, ForbiddenError, NotFoundError, ConflictError, ValidationError — all inherit from FMCError.

Examples

The examples/ directory contains runnable scripts that read BASE_URL and AUTH_TOKEN from the environment:

• create-club/ — create a club if it doesn't already exist
• create-suggestions/ — bulk-suggest movies from a JSON file
• create-events/ — create movie-night events from a JSON file

export BASE_URL=https://api.example.com/api/v1
export AUTH_TOKEN=fmc_pat_...
python examples/create-club/create-club.py

Development

This project uses uv for dependency management and ruff for linting.

uv sync
uv run ruff check
uv build
