trilium-py

Python client for ETAPI of Trilium Note.

Installation

python3 -m pip install trilium-py --user

(Basic) Usage

These are basic function that Trilium's ETAPI provides. Down below are some simple example code to use this package.

initialize

If you have a ETAPI token, change the server_url and token to yours.

from trilium_py.client import ETAPI

server_url = 'http://localhost:8080'
token = 'YOUR_TOKEN'
ea = ETAPI(server_url, token)

If you haven't created ETAPI token, you can create one with your password. Please note, you can only see this token once, please save it if you want to reuse the token.

from trilium_py.client import ETAPI

server_url = 'http://localhost:8080'
password = '1234'
ea = ETAPI(server_url)
token = ea.login(password)
print(token)

After initialization, you can use Trilium ETAPI with python now. The following are some examples.

Search note

Search note with keyword.

res = ea.search_note(
    search="python",
)

for x in res['results']:
    print(x['noteId'], x['title'])

Create Note

You can create a simple note like this.

res = ea.create_note(
    parentNoteId="root",
    title="Simple note 1",
    type="text",
    content="Simple note example",
    noteId="note1"
)

The noteId is not mandatory, if not provided, Trilium will generate a random one. You can retrieve it in the return.

noteId = res['note']['noteId']

Get note

To retrieve the note's content.

ea.get_note_content("note1")

You can get a note metadata by its id.

ea.get_note(note_id)

Update note

Update note content

ea.update_note_content("note1", "updated by python")

Modify note title

ea.patch_note(
    noteId="note1",
    title="Python client moded",
)

Delete note

Simply delete a note by id.

ea.delete_note("note1")

Day note

You can get the content of a certain date with get_day_note. The date string should be in format of "%Y-%m-%d", e.g. " 2022-02-25".

es.get_day_note("2022-02-25")

Then set/update a day note with set_day_note. The content should be a (html) string.

self.set_day_note(date, new_content)

(Advanced Usage) TODO List

With the power of Python, I have expanded the basic usage of ETAPI. You can do something with todo list now.

Add TODO item

You can use add_todo to add a TODO item, param is the TODO description

ea.add_todo("买暖宝宝")

Check/Uncheck a TODO item

param is the index of the TODO item

ea.todo_check(0)
ea.todo_uncheck(1)

Update a TODO item

Use update_todo to update a TODO item description at certain index.

ea.update_todo(0, "去码头整点薯条")

Delete a TDOO item

Remove a TODO item by its index.

ea.delete_todo(1)

Move yesterday's unfinished todo to today

As the title suggests, you can move yesterday's unfinished things to today. Unfinished todos will be deleted from yesterday's note.

ea.move_yesterday_unfinished_todo_to_today()
