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())
