API

SnippClient(api_key)

Create a client. The key is sent via the api-key header on every request.

get_user(user_id="@me", include_posts=None, posts_limit=None)

Fetch a user profile. Pass "@me" (default) for the authenticated user. Set include_posts=True and posts_limit (1--50) to include their posts.

user = client.get_user("@me", include_posts=True, posts_limit=10)

upload(file, privacy="unlisted")

Upload a file. file can be a path string, raw bytes, or an open file object. privacy must be "public", "unlisted", or "private".

result = client.upload("image.png", privacy="unlisted")
print(result["url"])

list_uploads()

List the authenticated user's recent uploads. Each item includes the upload URL, size metadata, the associated post code when one exists, and isAlbum for uploads that belong to an album post.

uploads = client.list_uploads()

delete_upload(filename)

Delete an upload by its filename.

client.delete_upload("a3f7b2c91d4e8f0612ab34cd56ef7890.png")

discover()

Browse public uploads.

feed = client.discover()

Error Handling

All API errors raise a SnippError with status and message attributes.

from snipp import SnippClient, SnippError

try:
    client.get_user("nonexistent")
except SnippError as err:
    print(err.status, err.message)
