Internet Archive Uploader

This project is a simple wrapper for file/directory uploads built around the Internet Archive library. To use it you must have an existing account on the Internet Archive.

Usage

To install the library

pip install internet-archive-uploader

To use the library

from InternetArchiveUploader import InternetArchiveUploader

uploader= InternetArchiveUploader(
  'myUniqueIdentifier',
  {'metadataAttribute1':'something'},
  'Your Internet Archive username/email',
  'Your Internet Archive password',
)

uploader.uploadFile('/path/to/file')

uploader.uploadDirectory('/path/to/directory')

The identifier must be unique for internet archive to create the archive but after that you can repeatedly use it to upload more files to that collection.

The metadata is a dictionary of metadata attributes with their values. You can learn more about metadata here.

The password and username should be self explanatory.

Contributions

If anyone uses this library and has issues or wants to contribute feel free to message me. I am willing to add extra features or do bug fixes. It should also be noted that I am using this package primarily to distribute my code for personal use and gain experience in publishing python packages.
