A python client for the Orbitdb HTTP API
Status: Proof-of-concept
pip install orbitdbapiClone, and then run:
git clone https://github.com/orbitdb/py-orbit-db-http-client.git
cd py-orbit-db-http-client
py setup.pyfrom orbitdbapi import OrbitDbAPI
client = OrbitDbAPI(base_url='http://localhost:3000')
You can then use the client object to list all the databases available on the API:
dbs = client.list_dbs()
print(dbs)
To open a specific database, you can use the db() method, providing the name of the database as an argument:
db = client.db('mydb')
Once you have a DB object, you can use it to perform CRUD operations on the database. For example, to add an entry to the database:
db.add({'key': 'value'})
To retrieve all the entries in the database:
entries = db.all()
print(entries)
To retrieve a specific entry by its key:
entry = db.get('key')
print(entry)
To update an entry:
db.update('key', {'key': 'new_value'})
To remove an entry:
db.remove('key')
