Python wrapper for qBittorrent Web API (for versions above 4.1, for version below and above v3.1.x please use 0.3.1 version).

For qBittorrent clients with earlier versions, use mookfist's python-qbittorrent <https://github.com/mookfist/python-qbittorrent>__.

This wrapper is based on the methods described in qBittorrent's Official Web API Documentation <https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Web-API-Documentation>__

Some methods are only supported in qBittorent's latest version (v3.3.1 when writing).

It'll be best if you upgrade your client to a latest version.

Installation

The best way is to install a stable release from PyPI::

$ pip install python-qbittorrent

You can also stay on the bleeding edge of the package::

$ git clone https://github.com/v1k45/python-qBittorrent.git
$ cd python-qBittorrent
$ python setup.py install

Prerequisite

qBittorent webUI must be enabled before using this API client. How to enable the qBittorrent Web UI <https://github.com/lgallard/qBittorrent-Controller/wiki/How-to-enable-the-qBittorrent-Web-UI>_

Quick usage guide

.. code-block:: python

from qbittorrent import Client

qb = Client('http://127.0.0.1:8080/')

qb.login('admin', 'your-secret-password')
# not required when 'Bypass from localhost' setting is active.
# defaults to admin:admin.
# to use defaults, just do qb.login()

torrents = qb.torrents()

for torrent in torrents:
    print torrent['name']

If you have enabled SSL and are using a self-signed certificate, you'd probably want to disable SSL verification. This can be done by passing verify=False while initializing the Client.

.. code-block:: python

from qbittorrent import Client

qb = Client('https://127.0.0.1:8080/', verify=False)
