PyiCloud is a module which allows pythonistas to interact with iCloud webservices. It's powered by the fantastic [requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests) HTTP library.
|
|
|
|
At its core, PyiCloud connects to iCloud using your username and password, then performs calendar and iPhone queries against their API.
|
|
|
|
==============
|
|
Authentication
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Authentication is as simple as passing your username and password to the `PyiCloudService` class:
|
|
|
|
>>> from pyicloud import PyiCloudService
|
|
>>> api = PyiCloudService('jappleseed@apple.com', 'password')
|
|
|
|
In the event that the username/password combination is invalid, a `PyiCloudFailedLoginException` exception is thrown.
|
|
|
|
=======
|
|
Devices
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
You can list which devices associated with your account by using the `devices` property:
|
|
|
|
>>> api.devices
|
|
{
|
|
u'i9vbKRGIcLYqJnXMd1b257kUWnoyEBcEh6yM+IfmiMLh7BmOpALS+w==': <AppleDevice(iPhone 4S: Johnny Appleseed's iPhone)>,
|
|
u'reGYDh9XwqNWTGIhNBuEwP1ds0F/Lg5t/fxNbI4V939hhXawByErk+HYVNSUzmWV': <AppleDevice(MacBook Air 11": Johnny Appleseed's MacBook Air)>
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
and you can access individual devices by either their index, or their ID:
|
|
|
|
>>> api.devices[0]
|
|
<AppleDevice(iPhone 4S: Johnny Appleseed's iPhone)>
|
|
>>> api.devices['i9vbKRGIcLYqJnXMd1b257kUWnoyEBcEh6yM+IfmiMLh7BmOpALS+w==']
|
|
<AppleDevice(iPhone 4S: Johnny Appleseed's iPhone)>
|
|
|
|
or, as a shorthand if you have only one associated apple device, you can simply use the `iphone` property to access the first device associated with your account:
|
|
|
|
>>> api.iphone
|
|
<AppleDevice(iPhone 4S: Johnny Appleseed's iPhone)>
|
|
|
|
Note: the first device associated with your account may not necessarily be your iPhone.
|
|
|
|
==============
|
|
Find My iPhone
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Once you have successfully authenticated, you can start querying your data!
|
|
|
|
********
|
|
Location
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
Returns the device's last known location. The Find My iPhone app must have been installed and initialized.
|
|
|
|
>>> api.iphone.location()
|
|
{u'timeStamp': 1357753796553, u'locationFinished': True, u'longitude': -0.14189, u'positionType': u'GPS', u'locationType': None, u'latitude': 51.501364, u'isOld': False, u'horizontalAccuracy': 5.0}
|
|
|
|
******
|
|
Status
|
|
******
|
|
|
|
The Find My iPhone response is quite bloated, so for simplicity's sake this method will return a subset of the properties.
|
|
|
|
>>> api.iphone.status()
|
|
{'deviceDisplayName': u'iPhone 5', 'deviceStatus': u'200', 'batteryLevel': 0.6166913, 'name': u"Peter's iPhone"}
|
|
|
|
If you wish to request further properties, you may do so by passing in a list of property names.
|
|
|
|
**********
|
|
Play Sound
|
|
**********
|
|
|
|
Sends a request to the device to play a sound, if you wish pass a custom message you can do so by changing the subject arg.
|
|
|
|
>>> api.iphone.play_sound()
|
|
|
|
A few moments later, the device will play a ringtone, display the default notification ("Find My iPhone Alert") and a confirmation email will be sent to you.
|
|
|
|
*********
|
|
Lost Mode
|
|
*********
|
|
|
|
Lost mode is slightly different to the "Play Sound" functionality in that it allows the person who picks up the phone to call a specific phone number *without having to enter the passcode*. Just like "Play Sound" you may pass a custom message which the device will display, if it's not overridden the custom message of "This iPhone has been lost. Please call me." is used.
|
|
|
|
>>> phone_number = '555-373-383'
|
|
>>> message = 'Thief! Return my phone immediately.'
|
|
>>> api.iphone.lost_device(phone_number, message)
|
|
|
|

|
|
Calendar
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The calendar webservice currently only supports fetching events.
|
|
|
|
******
|
|
Events
|
|
******
|
|
|
|
Returns this month's events:
|
|
|
|
>>> api.calendar.events()
|
|
|
|
Or, between a specific date range:
|
|
|
|
>>> from_dt = datetime(2012, 1, 1)
|
|
>>> to_dt = datetime(2012, 1, 31)
|
|
>>> api.calendar.events(from_dt, to_dt)
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you may fetch a single event's details, like so:
|
|
|
|
>>> api.calendar.get_event_detail('CALENDAR', 'EVENT_ID')
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
File Storage (Ubiquity)
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
You can access documents stored in your iCloud account by using the `files` property's `dir` method:
|
|
|
|
>>> api.files.dir()
|
|
[u'.do-not-delete',
|
|
u'.localized',
|
|
u'com~apple~Notes',
|
|
u'com~apple~Preview',
|
|
u'com~apple~mail',
|
|
u'com~apple~shoebox',
|
|
u'com~apple~system~spotlight'
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
You can access children and their children's children using the filename as an index:
|
|
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']
|
|
<Folder: u'com~apple~Notes'>
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes'].type
|
|
u'folder'
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes'].dir()
|
|
[u'Documents']
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents'].dir()
|
|
[u'Some Document']
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents']['Some Document'].name
|
|
u'Some Document'
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents']['Some Document'].modified
|
|
datetime.datetime(2012, 9, 13, 2, 26, 17)
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents']['Some Document'].size
|
|
1308134
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents']['Some Document'].type
|
|
u'file'
|
|
|
|
And when you have a file that you'd like to download, the `open` method will return a response object from which you can read the `content`.
|
|
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents']['Some Document'].open().content
|
|
'Hello, these are the file contents'
|
|
|
|
Note: the object returned from the above `open` method is a [response object](http://www.python-requests.org/en/latest/api/#classes) and the `open` method can accept any parameters you might normally use in a request using [requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests).
|
|
|
|
For example, if you know that the file you're opening has JSON content:
|
|
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents']['information.json'].open().json()
|
|
{'How much we love you': 'lots'}
|
|
>>> api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents']['information.json'].open().json()['How much we love you']
|
|
'lots'
|
|
|
|
Or, if you're downloading a particularly large file, you may want to use the `stream` keyword argument, and read directly from the raw response object:
|
|
|
|
>>> download = api.files['com~apple~Notes']['Documents']['big_file.zip'].open(stream=True)
|
|
>>> with open('downloaded_file.zip', 'wb') as opened_file:
|
|
opened_file.write(download.raw.read()) |
