Simple interactions with Tinify Library for EndCoronavirus. This does not shorten the usage of the API by much, but turns the basic interaction into a 1 line command.
Clone Tinify repo into Python3x/Lib/ with git clone https://github.com/TrevorWinstral/Tinify.git and navigate into the folder and execute pip install -r requirements.txt
Next you need to create and TinyPNG API key, this is very simple. Go here create an account and you should receive an API key.
Now move to your current project and add a file key.txt and paste the API key you have generated in there and save the file.
When you want to compress your image import the module with from Tinify import tiny and compress the image with tiny.compress_image(uncompressed_image=INPUT_IMAGE, compressed_image=OUTPUT_IMAGE) the INPUT_IMAGE and OUTPUT_IMAGE strings denoting the path of the respective images should include the extension. Here is an example using an image called home_header.jpg and I am saving the compressed image to output.jpg. This function returns True if it has run without error, otherwise it prints the error and returns False.
from Tinify import tiny
result = tiny.compress_image(uncompressed_image='home_header.jpg', compressed_image='out.jpg')
print(result)
