pcloud 1.2

Usage of API

>>> from pcloud import PyCloud
>>> pc = PyCloud('email@example.com', 'SecretPassword')
>>> pc.listfolder(folderid=0)

Use alternate endpoints (API calls have to be made to the correct API host name depending were the user has been registered – api.pcloud.com for United States and eapi.pcloud.com for Europe.)

>>> from pcloud import PyCloud
>>> pc = PyCloud('email@example.com', 'SecretPassword', endpoint="eapi")
>>> pc.listfolder(folderid=0)

PyCloud also provides an API method to retrieve the nearest API server, which gives you a speed gain for some API operations. To use PyCloud with this feature create the PyCloud-object with the nearest endpoint parameter:

>>> from pcloud import PyCloud
>>> pc = PyCloud('email@example.com', 'SecretPassword', endpoint="nearest")
>>> pc.listfolder(folderid=0)

OAuth 2.0 authentication

To use OAuth 2.0 authentication you need to create an App in pCloud (https://docs.pcloud.com/my_apps/).

Add the following redirect URI http://localhost:65432/ (Make sure port 65432 is available on your machine. Otherwise you need to adjust the PORT in oauth2.py)

Note! To see the redirect URI in the settings of pCloud you have to log out and log in again.

Once you finished adding the app and setting the redirect URI you are ready to use OAuth 2.0 with PyCloud on your machine. For the communication with pCloud PyCloud uses the builtin webserver-module. This means you need a real browser on your system available.

>>> from pcloud import PyCloud
>>> pc = PyCloud.oauth2_authorize(client_id="XYZ", client_secret="abc123")
>>> pc.listfolder(folderid=0)

Uploading files

1. from filenames:

>>> pc.uploadfile(files=['/full/path/to/image1.jpg', '/Users/tom/another/image.png'],
...     path='/path-to-pcloud-dir')

2. from data:

>>> import io
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> img = Image.open('image.jpg', 'r')
>>> bio = io.BytesIO()
>>> img.save(bio, format='jpeg')
>>> pc.uploadfile(data=bio.getvalue(), filename="image.jpg", path='/path-to-pcloud-dir')

Usage of PyFilesystem with opener

>>> from fs import opener
>>> opener.open_fs('pcloud://email%40example.com:SecretPassword@/')
<pCloudFS>

Copying files from Linux to pCloud using PyFilesystem

>>> from fs import opener, copy
>>> with opener.open_fs('pcloud://email%40example.com:SecretPassword@/') as pcloud_fs:
>>>    with opener.open_fs('/opt/data_to_copy') as linux_fs:
>>>        copy.copy_file(src_fs=linux_fs,
>>>                       src_path='database.sqlite3',
>>>                       dst_fs=pcloud_fs,
>>>                       dst_path='/backup/server/database.sqlite3')

Copy directory from Linux to pCloud using PyFilesystem

>>> from fs import opener, copy
>>> with opener.open_fs('pcloud://email%40example.com:SecretPassword@/') as pcloud_fs:
>>>    with opener.open_fs('/opt/data_to_copy') as linux_fs:
>>>        copy.copy_dir(src_fs=linux_fs,
>>>                      src_path='database/',
>>>                      dst_fs=pcloud_fs,
>>>                      dst_path='/backup/database/')
