# python-qBittorrent



[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/python-qbittorrent/badge/?version=latest)](http://python-qbittorrent.readthedocs.org/en/latest/?badge=latest) [![image](https://badge.fury.io/py/python-qbittorrent.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/python-qbittorrent)



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



``` 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]{.title-ref} while initializing the [Client]{.title-ref}.



``` python

from qbittorrent import Client



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

```



## API methods

        # No matter the link is correct or not,

        # method will always return empty JSON object.

        qb.download_from_file(torrent_file_list)



-   Specifing save path for downloads:



        dl_path = '/home/user/Downloads/special-dir/'

        qb.download_from_file(myfile, savepath=dl_path)



        # same for links.

        qb.download_from_link(my_magnet_uri, savepath=dl_path)



-   Applying labels to downloads:



        qb.download_from_file(myfile, label='secret-files ;) ')



        # same for links.

        qb.download_from_link(my_magnet_uri, category='anime')
