TransIP STACK API

Unofficial wrapper for the TransIP STACK API, written in Python 3

Deprecation

Unfortunately due to a decision over at TransIP going forward STACK will no longer be free and all free accounts will be removed by February 12th 2021. As a result, I have decided to officially end support of this library as I personally believe there are far better quality cloud storage providers for the same price.

Installation

To install the library, simply install it using pip:

$ pip install transip-stack-api

For development installations

$ pip install -e .[dev]

Usage

To use the project, simply import the library into your project like so:

from transip_stack import Stack, StackException


with Stack(username="foo", password="bar", hostname="stack.example.com") as stack:
    try:
        url = stack.upload("local-foo.txt", remote="remote-foo.txt").share()
        print("[+] You can download remote-foo.txt at: {}".format(url))

    except StackException as e:
        print("[!] Error: {}".format(e))

The package also ships with a command line interface to easily upload files in your current working directory to stack. Configuration is done via environment variables:

$ export STACK_USERNAME=...
$ export STACK_PASSWORD=...
$ export STACK_HOSTNAME=...
$ export STACK_DIRECTORY=...

Then simply use the tool:

$ stack upload .

Note that the command line interface is a work in progress

Examples

from io import BytesIO

from transip_stack import Stack, StackException


with Stack(username="foo", password="bar", hostname="stack.example.com") as stack:
    for file in stack.files:
        print(file.name)

    for file in stack.ls("foo"):
        print(file.name)

    stack.cd("/foo")

    for file in stack.files:
        if not file.is_shared:
            file.share()

        print(file.share_url)

    user = stack.user("admin")
    user.name = "John Doe"
    user.save()

    user = stack.user_or_create_new(
        name="Someone Else", 
        username="someone", 
        password="Pa$$w0rd!", 
        disk_quota=5 * 1000 * 1000)

    print(user.is_admin)  # -> False


with Stack(username="someone", password="Pa$$w0rd!", hostname="stack.example.com") as stack:
    stack.upload("foo.txt")
    stack.download("foo.txt", "example.txt")

    buff = BytesIO()
    stack.download_into("foo.txt", buffer=buff)
    print(buff.getvalue().decode())

    try:
        user = stack.user('admin')
    except StackException as e:
        print(e)  # -> "Access denied .."

Without context managers:

from transip_stack import Stack


stack = Stack(username="foo", password="bar", hostname="stack.example.com")
stack.login()

stack.cd("/foo")

for file in stack.files:
    file.unshare()

stack.logout()  # Important
