Client-Server SDK for Matrix

Project description

Matrix Client SDK for Python

Latest Version

This is a Matrix client-server SDK for Python 2.7 and 3.4+

Usage

The SDK provides 2 layers of interaction. The low-level layer just wraps the raw HTTP API calls. The high-level layer wraps the low-level layer and provides an object model to perform actions on.

Client:

from matrix_client.client import MatrixClient

client = MatrixClient("http://localhost:8008")
token = client.register_with_password(username="foobar", password="monkey")
room = client.create_room("my_room_alias")
room.send_text("Hello!")

API:

from matrix_client.api import MatrixHttpApi

matrix = MatrixHttpApi("https://matrix.org", token="some_token")
response = matrix.initial_sync()
response = matrix.send_message("!roomid:matrix.org", "Hello!")

Structure

The SDK is split into two modules: api and client.

API

This contains the raw HTTP API calls and has minimal business logic. You can set the access token (token) to use for requests as well as set a custom transaction ID (txn_id) which will be incremented for each request.

Client

This encapsulates the API module and provides object models such as Room.

Samples

A collection of samples are included, written in Python 3.

You can either install the SDK, or run the sample like this:

PYTHONPATH=. python samples/samplename.py
