telepress 0.1.0

Publish Markdown, images and zip archives to Telegraph

TelePress

中文文档

Publish Markdown, images and zip archives to Telegraph. Handles large files by auto-splitting into multiple linked pages.

Install

pip install telepress

# with REST API
pip install telepress[api]

Usage

from telepress import publish, publish_text

url = publish("article.md")
url = publish_text("# Hello\n\nWorld!", title="Test")

CLI:

telepress article.md --title "My Post"
telepress photos.zip --title "Album"

REST API:

telepress-server --port 8000

curl -X POST localhost:8000/publish/text \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "# Title\n\nBody", "title": "Test"}'

How it works

Text files are converted to Telegraph format (Markdown supported). Large content is split at ~40KB boundaries into multiple pages with prev/next navigation.

Zip files are treated as image galleries. Images are sorted naturally (1, 2, 10 not 1, 10, 2) and paginated at 100 per page.

Token is auto-created on first run and saved to ~/.telegraph_token.

Limits

• 100MB max file size
• 100 pages max (~4M chars text, or 5000 images)
• 5MB per image (Telegraph limit)

Supported: .txt .md .markdown .rst .jpg .png .gif .webp .zip

Not supported: PDF, DOCX (convert first)

Error handling

from telepress import publish, ValidationError, TelePressError

try:
    url = publish("file.md")
except ValidationError as e:
    # bad input: wrong format, too large, etc
    print(e)
except TelePressError as e:
    # other errors: upload failed, auth failed, etc
    print(e)

Integration

# Flask
@app.route('/publish', methods=['POST'])
def api_publish():
    url = publish_text(request.json['content'], title=request.json['title'])
    return {'url': url}

# async
async def async_publish(content, title):
    return await asyncio.to_thread(publish_text, content, title)
