Publitio Python SDK

Installation:

pip3 install publitio

This SDK works for Python 3.6 and up.

To use the Python SDK:

from publitio import PublitioAPI
publitio_api = PublitioAPI(key='<API key>', secret='<API secret>')

For the remaining code samples, these two lines of code will be implied.

The methods used for communicating with the api - create_file, list_files etc., all return parsed json responses, as if json.loads was used on the response content. The only exception to this is the transformed method, which returns bytes. In all methods, the supported keyword parameters are exactly the same as in the publitio docs. You should probably look into that documentation before reading this.

Exceptions

UnknownStatusCode - raised when the server responds to a request with an unknown status code.
TransformationFailed - raised when the server fails to perform a transformation, i.e. when publitio_api.transformed fails.
BadJSON - raised when the server responds with invalid JSON. This may be due to an internal server error.

Transforming files

publitio_api.transformed('filename.jpeg', extension='png', w=300, h=300)
# If you don't wish to change the extension, you can omit it:
publitio_api.transformed('filename.jpeg', w=300, h=300)

This would return the bytes of the file named filename, now transcoded into a PNG, with dimensions 300x300. The extension parameter is optional. The supported parameters are the same as here. For example, the above invocation makes a call to this URL:

https://media.publit.io/file/w_300,h_300/filename.png

Documentation

You can view documentation from the source code docstrings using pydoc:

pydoc3 publitio

Creating files

publitio_api.create_file(file=open('path/to/file', 'rb'),
                         title='My title',
                         description='My description')

Please do note that the file must be opened for binary reading. The publitio_api.create_file function will not close the file. Therefore, what you will probably want to do most of the time is:

with open('path/to/file', 'rb') as f:
    publitio_api.create_file(file=f,
                             title='My title',
                             description='My description')

If you wish to upload the file from a remote URL, pass the file_url keyword parameter instead of the optional file parameter. For example:

publitio_api.create_file(file_url='https://example.com/image.png',
                         title='My title',
                         description='My description')

Listing files

publitio_api.list_files(offset=1)

It's also OK to provide strings as parameters when numbers seem logical. So, also valid:

publitio_api.list_files(offset='1')

Showing files

publitio_api.show_file('file_id')

Updating files

publitio_api.update_file('file_id', title='A better title')

Deleting files

publitio_api.delete_file('file_id')

Getting a file player

publitio_api.get_file_player('file_id', player='myplayerid')

Creating file versions

publitio_api.create_version('file_id', extension='webm')

Listing versions

publitio_api.list_versions('file_id', limit=3)  # Or limit='3'

Showing versions

publitio_api.show_version('version_id')

Updating versions

publitio_api.update_version('version_id')

Reconverting versions

publitio_api.reconvert_version('version_id')

Deleting versions

publitio_api.delete_version('version_id')

Creating folders

publitio_api.create_folder(name='myfolder')

Listing folders

publitio_api.list_folders(limit=10, order='name')

Showing folders

publitio_api.show_folder('folder_id')

Updating folders

publitio_api.update_folder('folder_id', name='mynewname')

Deleting folders

publitio_api.delete_folder('folder_id')

Folders tree

publitio_api.folders_tree()

Creating players

publitio_api.create_player(name='whatever')

Listing players

publitio_api.list_players()

Showing players

publitio_api.show_player('player_id')

Updating players

publitio_api.update_player('player_id', skin='green')

Deleting players

publitio_api.delete_player('player_id')

Creating adtags

publitio_api.create_adtag(name='name', tag='tag')

Listing adtags

publitio_api.list_adtags()

Showing adtags

publitio_api.show_adtag('adtag_id')

Updating adtags

publitio_api.update_adtag('adtag_id', tag='newtag')

Deleting adtags

publitio_api.delete_adtag('adtag_id')

Creating a watermark

publitio_api.create_watermark(self, file=open('path/to/file', 'rb'), title='whatever')

Again, the file needs to be opened for binary reading. This function will not close the file.

Listing watermarks

publitio_api.list_watermarks()

Showing watermarks

publitio_api.show_watermark('watermark_id')

Updating watermarks

publitio_api.update_watermark('watermark_id', position='left')

Deleting watermarks

publitio_api.delete_watermark('watermark_id')
