SimpleICloud

SimpleiCloud is a lightweight iCloud client for Python, currently focused exclusively on managing contacts.

Unlike other libraries — such as the excellent PyiCloud — SimpleiCloud aims to support a broader set of contact-related use cases, including creating, updating, and deleting contacts.

SimpleiCloud is powered by requests HTTP library.

This module is under active development, and we welcome contributions from the community.

Examples

You must use an app-specific password for iCloud (generate it at https://appleid.apple.com/ > Sign-In & Security > App-Specific Passwords)

Class instantiating

simpleicloudservice = SimpleICloudService(
    username="[e-mail]",
    password="secret_P422sword,
)

Get a contact

contact = simpleicloudservice.get_contact("F4ZZZZ0-EZZ7-4ZZD-8ZZE-C4FZZZZZZACD")

Get all contacts

contacts_list = simpleicloudservice.get_all_contacts()

Delete a contact

contact = simpleicloudservice.delete_contact("F4ZZZZ0-EZZ7-4ZZD-8ZZE-C4FZZZZZZACD")

Create a contact

create the vCard

import uuid
import vobject
v = vobject.vCard()
v.add("fn").value = "Pippo DePippis"
# don't ask me why but iCloud need the following!
# credits to https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer/issues/1145#issuecomment-2464999129
v.add("n").value = vobject.vcard.Name(family="DePippis", given="Pippo")
phone = v.add("tel")
phone.value = phone_
phone.type_param = "CELL"
email = v.add("email")
email.value = "[e-mail]
email.type_param = ["INTERNET", "HOME", "pref"]
uuid_ = str(uuid.uuid4())
v.add("uid").value = uuid_

create the contact in iCloud

simpleicloudservice.create_contact(vcard=vv)

Update a contact

edit the contact's feature

email = v.add("email")
email.value = "[e-mail]"
email.type_param = ["INTERNET", "HOME", "pref"]

update the contact in iCloud

simpleicloudservice.update_contact(v)
