A python library for interacting with an Open Subsonic API implementation. This started its life as the py-sonic library. I have tested with Gonic (and continue to do so against each stable docker release). Please open issues if you discover problems with other implementations.
Installation is fairly simple. Just do the standard install as root:
tar -xvzf py-opensonic-*.tar.gz
cd py-opensonic-*
python setup.py install
You can also install directly using pip or easy_install
pip install py-opensonic
This library follows the REST API almost exactly (for now). If you follow the documentation on https://opensubsonic.netlify.app/docs/ or you do a:
pydoc libopensonic.connection
The py-sonic original author has added documentation at http://stuffivelearned.org/doku.php?id=programming:python:py-sonic
This is about as basic as it gets. We are just going to set up the connection and then get a couple of random songs.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import libopensonic
# We pass in the base url, the username, password, and port number
# Be sure to use https:// if this is an ssl connection!
conn = libopensonic.Connection('https://music.example.com' , 'myuser' ,
'secretpass' , port=443)
# Let's get 2 completely random songs
songs = conn.get_random_songs(size=2)
# We'll just pretty print the results we got to the terminal
print(songs[0])
print(songs[1])As you can see, it's really pretty simple. If you use the documentation provided in the library:
pydoc libopensonic.connection
or the api docs on opensubsonic.netlify.app (listed above), you should be able to make use of your server without too much trouble.
