Getting started¶
Python wrapper for qBittorrent Web API (for versions above v3.1.x) For qBittorrent clients with earlier versions, use mookfist’s python-qbittorrent.
This wrapper is based on the methods described in qBittorrent’s Official 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
Quick usage guide¶
from qbittorrent import Client
qb = Client('http://127.0.0.1:8080/')
qb.login('admin', 'your-secret-password')
# defaults to admin:admin.
# to use defaults, just do qb.login()
torrents = qb.torrents()
for torrent in torrents:
print torrent['name']
