Description:

qbittorrentapi 2024.8.65

qBittorrent Web API Client
Python client implementation for qBittorrent Web API


Currently supports qBittorrent v4.6.6 (Web API v2.9.3) released on Aug 18, 2024.
User Guide and API Reference available on Read the Docs.
Features

The entire qBittorrent Web API is implemented.
qBittorrent version checking for an endpoint's existence/features is automatically handled.
If the authentication cookie expires, a new one is automatically requested in line with any API call.

Installation
Install via pip from PyPI
python -m pip install qbittorrent-api

Getting Started
import qbittorrentapi

# instantiate a Client using the appropriate WebUI configuration
conn_info = dict(
host="localhost",
port=8080,
username="admin",
password="adminadmin",
)
qbt_client = qbittorrentapi.Client(**conn_info)

# the Client will automatically acquire/maintain a logged-in state
# in line with any request. therefore, this is not strictly necessary;
# however, you may want to test the provided login credentials.
try:
qbt_client.auth_log_in()
except qbittorrentapi.LoginFailed as e:
print(e)

# if the Client will not be long-lived or many Clients may be created
# in a relatively short amount of time, be sure to log out:
qbt_client.auth_log_out()

# or use a context manager:
with qbittorrentapi.Client(**conn_info) as qbt_client:
if qbt_client.torrents_add(urls="...") != "Ok.":
raise Exception("Failed to add torrent.")

# display qBittorrent info
print(f"qBittorrent: {qbt_client.app.version}")
print(f"qBittorrent Web API: {qbt_client.app.web_api_version}")
for k, v in qbt_client.app.build_info.items():
print(f"{k}: {v}")

# retrieve and show all torrents
for torrent in qbt_client.torrents_info():
print(f"{torrent.hash[-6:]}: {torrent.name} ({torrent.state})")

# stop all torrents
qbt_client.torrents.stop.all()

v2021.2.17 (7 feb 2021)

Generally refactor requests.py so it's better and easier to read
Persist a Requests Session between API calls instead of always creating a new one...small perf benefit
Move auth endpoints back to a dedicated module
Since attrdict is apparently going to break in Python 3.10 and it is no longer maintained, I've vendored a modified version (fixes #45)
Created handle_hashes decorator to hide the cruft of continuing to support hash and hashes arguments

v2021.1.16 (26 jan 2021)

Support qBittorrent v4.3.3 and Web API v2.7 (...again)
New torrents/renameFile and torrents/renameFolder endpoints
Retrieve app api version when needed instead of caching
Stop verifying and removing individual parameters when they aren't supported

v2020.12.15 (27 dec 2020)

Support qBittorrent v4.3.2 and Web API v2.7
torrents/add supports adding torrents with tags via tags parameter
app/preferences supports toggling internationalized domain name (IDN) support via idn_support_enabled
BREAKING CHANGE: for torrents/add, is_root_folder (or root_folder) is superseded by content_layout
For torrents/delete, delete_files now defaults to False instead of required being explicitly passed

v2020.12.14 (6 dec 2020)

Add support for non-standard API endpoint paths (Fixes #37)
Allows users to leverage this client when qBittorrent is configured behind a reverse proxy

For instance, if the Web API is being exposed at "http://localhost/qbt/", then users can instantiate via Client(host='localhost/qbt') and all API endpoint paths will be prefixed with "/qbt"


Additionally, the scheme (i.e. http or https) from the user will now be respected as the first choice for which scheme is used to communicate with qBittorrent

However, users still don't need to even specify a scheme; it'll be automatically determined on the first connection to qBittorrent


Neither of these should be breaking changes, but if you're instantiating with an incorrect scheme or an irrelevant path, you may need to prevent doing that now
