API Compatibility

This SDK is compatible with the following sorter.social API versions:

• 2.x
• 2.1.x
• 2.1.1

Basic Usage

from sorterpy import Sorter

# Initialize the client with options
sorter = Sorter(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="http://localhost:3000",
    options={
        "vote_magnitude": "equal",  # Use -50 to 50 scale (default)
        "verbose": False,           # Disable detailed logging (default)
        "quiet": False,             # Don't suppress logs (default)
        "compatibility_warnings": True  # Show API version compatibility warnings (default)
        "debug_http_full": False    # Truncate long http bodies when debug printing them (default)
    }
)

# Create a tag
tag = sorter.tag("My Tag", description="A tag for testing")

# Add items to the tag
item1 = tag.item("Item 1", description="First item")
item2 = tag.item("Item 2", description="Second item")

# Vote on items (flexible parameter ordering)
tag.vote(item1, item2, 25)  # Prefer item1 over item2 with magnitude 25
# OR
tag.vote(item1, 25, item2)  # Same result, different parameter order

# Get tag rankings
rankings = tag.rankings()

# Get sorted and unsorted items
sorted_items = rankings.sorted()
unsorted_items = rankings.unsorted()

# Get a voting pair
left_item, right_item = rankings.pair()

Client Options

The Sorter client accepts the following options:

• vote_magnitude: Determines the scale for vote magnitudes
  • "equal" (default): Uses a scale from -50 to 50, where 0 is neutral
  • "positive": Uses a scale from 0 to 100, where 50 is neutral
• verbose: Enables detailed logging including HTTP requests and responses
  • False (default): Normal logging (INFO level)
  • True: Detailed logging (DEBUG level)
• quiet: Reduces logging to only warnings and errors
  • False (default): Normal logging (INFO level)
  • True: Reduced logging (WARNING level)
• compatibility_warnings: Show API version compatibility warnings
  • True (default): Show warnings when API version might not be fully compatible
  • False: Suppress compatibility warnings
• debug_http_full: Display the entire body of HTTP request / response objects.
  • False (default): Truncate long HTTP req/resp payloads.
  • True: Print full HTTP req/resp payloads. (will result in very long sysout)

Note: If both verbose and quiet are set to True, quiet takes precedence.

Features

• Authenticate Sorter Client with API Key
• Create & Manage Tags
• Create & Utilize Items
• Vote on Pairs (of Items) within Tags
• Get Live Links to Tags or Items
• Retrieve Rankings on Tags (Elo, Sorted Items, Unsorted Items)
• Work with Multiple Attributes for Voting
• Flexible Vote Magnitude Scales[^1]
• Comprehensive Logging System
• API Version Compatibility Checking

Working with Attributes

# Create an attribute
quality_attr = sorter.create_attribute("quality", "Quality of the item")

# Get an attribute by title
attr = sorter.get_attribute("quality")

# List all attributes
attributes = sorter.list_attributes()

# Vote with an attribute
tag.vote(item1, item2, 25, attribute=quality_attr.id)

# Get sorted items by attribute
sorted_by_quality = tag.sorted(attribute="quality")

Working with Rankings

# Get tag rankings
rankings = tag.rankings()

# Get sorted items
sorted_items = rankings.sorted()

# Get unsorted items
unsorted_items = rankings.unsorted()

# Get a voting pair
left_item, right_item = rankings.pair()

# Get skipped items
skipped_items = rankings.skipped()

# Get votes
votes = rankings.votes()

# Get users who voted
users = rankings.users_who_voted()

Logging

The SDK uses loguru for logging with a customized format:

12:34:56 | INFO     | sorterpy:__init__:42 - Sorter SDK initialized with base URL: https://sorter.social

The format includes:

• Time (HH:MM:SS)
• Log level
• Abbreviated module name, function, and line number
• Message
