.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/owncloud/pyocclient.svg?branch=master
:target: https://travis-ci.org/owncloud/pyocclient
This pure python library makes it possible to connect to an ownCloud instance
and perform file, share and attribute operations.
Please note that this is not a sync client implementation but a library
that provides functions to abstract away HTTP calls for various ownCloud APIs.
See the ownCloud homepage <http://owncloud.org>
_ for more information about ownCloud.

- read/write file contents from strings
- upload with chunking and mtime keeping
- upload whole directories
- directory download as zip
- access files from public links

Installation
Automatic installation with pip:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install pyocclient
Manual installation of development version with git:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install requests
$ git clone https://github.com/owncloud/pyocclient.git
$ cd pyocclient
$ python setup.py install
Usage
Example for uploading a file then sharing with link:
.. code-block:: python
import owncloud
oc = owncloud.Client('http://domain.tld/owncloud')
oc.login('user', 'password')
oc.mkdir('testdir')
oc.put_file('testdir/remotefile.txt', 'localfile.txt')
link_info = oc.share_file_with_link('testdir/remotefile.txt')
print "Here is your link: " + link_info.get_link()
Example for uploading a file to a public shared folder:
.. code-block:: python
import owncloud
public_link = 'http://domain.tld/owncloud/A1B2C3D4'
oc = owncloud.Client.from_public_link(public_link)
oc.drop_file('myfile.zip')
Example for downloading a file from a public shared folder with password:
.. code-block:: python
import owncloud
public_link = 'http://domain.tld/owncloud/A1B2C3D4'
folder_password = 'secret'
oc = owncloud.Client.from_public_link(public_link, password=folder_password)
oc.get_file('/sharedfile.zip', 'download/destination/sharedfile.zip')
Running the unit tests
To run the unit tests, create a config file called "owncloud/test/config.py".
There is a config file example called "owncloud/test/config.py.sample". All the
information required is in that file.
It should point to a running ownCloud instance to test against.
You might also need to install the unittest-data-provider package:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install unittest-data-provider
Then run the script "runtests.sh":
.. code-block:: bash
$ ./runtests.sh
Building the documentation
To build the documentation, you will need to install Sphinx and docutil.
Then run the following commands:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sphinx-apidoc -e -f -o docs/source owncloud/ owncloud/test
$ cd docs
$ make html
You can then find the documentation inside of "doc/build/html".
