Unofficial Lightweight Python API for ThePirateBay [![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/tpblite.png)](https://badge.fury.io/py/tpblite) Installation ============= ```sh $ pip install tpblite ``` Dependencies: - BeautifulSoup - purl Usage ========== ```python from tpblite import TPB # Create a TPB object with a domain name t = TPB('https://thepiratebay.org') # Or create a TPB object with default domain t = TPB() ``` ## Search ```python # Quick search for torrents, returns a Torrents object torrents = t.search('public domain') # See how many torrents were found print('There were {0} torrents found.'.format(len(torrents)) # Iterate through list of torrents and print info for Torrent object for torrent in torrents: print(torrent) # Customize your search from tpblite import CATEGORIES, ORDERS torrents = t.search('public domain', page=2, order=ORDERS.NAME.DEC, category=CATEGORIES.VIDEO.MOVIES) # Get the most seeded torrent based on a filter torrent = torrents.getBestTorrent(min_seeds=30, min_filesize='500 MiB', max_filesize='4 GiB') # Or select a particular torrent by indexing torrent = torrents[3] # Get the magnet link for a torrent print(torrent.magnetlink) ``` ## Browse ```python # You can browse all of the torrents from a single category torrents = t.browse(category=CATEGORIES.VIDEOS) # Customize the page number and sort order torrents = t.browse(category=CATEGORIES.VIDEO.MOVIES, page=1, order=ORDERS.UPLOADED.DES) ``` ## Categories and Sort Order ```python # To print all available categories, use the classmethod printOptions CATEGORIES.printOptions() # Or just a subset of categories, like VIDEOS CATEGORIES.VIDEO.printOptions() # Similarly for the sort order ORDERS.printOptions() ``` ## Torrents object The search function returns a `Torrents` object, which is a *list-like* collection of the torrents found. You can also iterate over the `Torrents` object just by calling it in a for loop (see example above). You can see how many `Torrent` objects your query has returned, by using the `len()` function ## Torrent object `Torrent` objects represent each torrent found in the `Torrents` class, they have the following attributes ### Attributes - `Torrent.title` - The name of the torrent (str) - `Torrent.seeds` - The number of seeders (int) - `Torrent.leeches` - The number of leechers (int) - `Torrent.upload_date` - Date the torrent was uploaded (str) - `Torrent.uploader` - Name of user who uploaded torrent (str) - `Torrent.filesize` - The filesize in *iB format, eg. 5 GiB (str) - `Torrent.byte_size` - The filesize in bytes of the torrent (int) - `Torrent.magnetlink` - magnetlink of the torrent (str) Example Workflow ========== With a commandline torrent client such as [aria2](https://aria2.github.io/), you can automate search and downloading of torrents like so: ```python import subprocess from tpblite import TPB t = TPB() torrents = t.search('GIMP 2.10.8') torrent = torrents.getBestTorrent() subprocess.call(['aria2c', torrent.magnetlink]) ```
