A Python library and commandline tool for managing Pix-Star digital photo frames.

Installation

Usage

Python library

The pyxstar.api module is the basis for all API interactions with the Pix-Star service. The API class should be used to invoke methods on the service, which accept and return Album and Photo classes.

For example

from pyxstar.api import API

api = API()
api.login('myusername', 'mypassword')
for a in api.albums():
    print(f'Album: {a.name}')

    for p in api.album_photos(a):
        print(f'  Photo: {p.name}')

Commandline

This package provides a pyxstar commandline tool which offers a variety of subcommands to interact with your digital photo frame.

The following are some examples of how to use this:

# Show help

# List album names
$ pyxstar -u myusername -p mypassword ls
My First Album
My Second Album

# List photos in My First Album
