Rivalz Python Client

rivalz-py-client is a Python client for interacting with the Rivalz API. It allows you to upload files, download files, and manage files on the Rivalz platform using IPFS.

Features

• Upload Files: Upload any file to the Rivalz platform and get an IPFS hash.
• Upload Passport Images: Upload passport images to the Rivalz platform.
• Download Files: Download files from the Rivalz platform using an IPFS hash.v
• Delete Files: Delete files from the Rivalz platform using an IPFS hash.

Installation

You can install the rivalz-py-client package via pip:

pip install rivalz-py-client

Usage

Here is a detailed guide on how to use the rivalz-py-client to interact with the Rivalz API.

Initialization

First, import the RivalzClient class and initialize it with your secret token. If you don't provide a token, it will use a default example token.

from rivalz_client.client import RivalzClient

# Initialize the client with your secret token
client = RivalzClient('your_secret_token')

Uploading a File

To upload a file, use the upload_file method. Provide the path to the file you want to upload.

response = client.upload_file('path/to/your/file.txt')
print(response)

Uploading a Passport Image

To upload a passport image, use the upload_passport method. Provide the path to the passport image file.

response = client.upload_passport('path/to/your/passport_image.jpg')
print(response)

Downloading a File

To download a file, use the download_file method with the IPFS hash of the file and the directory where you want to save the file.

file_path = client.download_file('QmSampleHash', 'save/directory')
print(f"File downloaded to: {file_path}")

Deleting a File

To delete a file, use the delete_file method with the IPFS hash of the file you want to delete.

response = client.delete_file('QmSampleHash')
print(response)

Example

Here is a complete example demonstrating how to use the rivalz-py-client:

from rivalz_client.client import RivalzClient

# Initialize the client
client = RivalzClient('your_secret_token')

# Upload a file
upload_response = client.upload_file('path/to/your/file.txt')
print(f"Uploaded File Response: {upload_response}")

# Upload a passport image
passport_response = client.upload_passport('path/to/your/passport_image.jpg')
print(f"Uploaded Passport Response: {passport_response}")

# Download a file
   ipfs_hash = 'zdpuB35nxpdDrZibAxWZLVkRepcWLfCbATCUDi5HYYHBwdkZf'  # Replace with the actual IPFS hash
    # Download the file
    try:
        file,filename = client.download(ipfs_hash)
        print(f"File downloaded to: {file}, filename: {filename}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred during file download: {e}")
# Delete a file
delete_response = client.delete_file('QmSampleHash')
print(f"Delete File Response: {delete_response}")

Publish package

To publish your package, you will need to use setuptools and wheel to build your package. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Make sure you have setuptools and wheel installed. If not, you can install them using pip:

   pip install setuptools wheel
   

2. Create a setup.py file in the root directory of your project. This file will contain the metadata about your package, such as its name, version, and dependencies. Here is an example setup.py file:

   from setuptools import setup, find_packages
   
   setup(
        name='rivalz-py-client',
        version='1.0.0',
        description='Python client for interacting with the Rivalz API',
        author='Your Name',
        author_email='your_email@example.com',
        packages=find_packages(),
        install_requires=[
             'requests',
        ],
   )
   

   Make sure to replace 'Your Name' and 'your_email@example.com' with your actual name and email address.

3. Build the package by running the following command:

   python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
   

   This will create a dist directory containing the built package files.

4. Upload the package to the Python Package Index (PyPI) using twine. If you haven't already, you will need to create an account on PyPI. Once you have an account, you can upload the package by running the following command:

   twine upload dist/*
   

   This will upload the package to PyPI, making it available for others to install using pip.

That's it! Your package is now published and can be installed by others using pip install rivalz-py-client.

Remember to update the version number in your setup.py file each time you make changes to your package and want to publish a new version.
