## **PrintNode API Client Python Library**

> [!NOTE]
> This repository is a community-maintained fork of the PrintNode Python API client. It is not an official PrintNode release unless PrintNode explicitly confirms maintainership or transfer. The maintained project name is `printnode_community`.

This is a Python library to interact with PrintNode's remote printing API. This client allows you to access the API's functions for quick use in Python scripts.

### Requirements

* Python 3.10+
* requests
* future

### Installation

After the first maintained release is published, install the package with:

```sh
uv add printnode_community
```

or:

```sh
python -m pip install printnode_community
```

Install from source with `uv`:

```sh
uv sync
```

For editable development installs, use:

```sh
uv pip install -e .
```

Until the first maintained release is published, prefer installing from a reviewed Git tag or branch rather than relying on an unpublished local build.

### Development

Install development dependencies and run tests with:

```sh
uv sync
uv run pytest
```

Build and validate package artifacts with:

```sh
uv build
uv run twine check dist/*
```

### Releases

Release publishing is not enabled for general use yet. See [RELEASE.md](RELEASE.md) for the release process and TestPyPI/PyPI workflow requirements.

### Getting Started

The default constructor for the Library is a Gateway, which is constructed with at minimum of one key-word argument, that being an api-key.

```python
from printnode_community import Gateway
my_account_gateway = Gateway(apikey='my_api_key')
```

After creating a Gateway, you can access any requests as such:

```python
my_account_id = my_account_gateway.account.id
new_tag = my_account_gateway.ModifyTag("Likes","PrintNode")
```

### Initial Gateway Configuration

You can authenticate in 2 ways other than using an api-key:
```python
Gateway(email='email',password='password')
Gateway(clientkey='ckey')
```

The three below will authenticate with access to child accounts of a specific user:

```python
Gateway(apikey='api-key',child_email='c_email')
Gateway(apikey='api-key',child_ref='c_creator_ref')
Gateway(apikey='api-key',child_id='c_id')
```

### Gateway Methods
All of these will have the associated API doc next to them. Any of the argument types will be exactly the same as the attributes used in a normal request. Any "Objects" under type are represented as a `dict`, which will have the same representation as the JSON objects.


### Computers Library
This handles anything that is associated with a computer, such as Printers, PrintJobs, States (of PrintJobs) and Scales.

### Account lookup
https://www.printnode.com/docs/api/curl/#whoami

#### account(self)
Returns an Account object of the currently authenticated account.
```python
from printnode_community import Gateway

gateway=Gateway(url='https://api.printnode.com',apikey='secretAPIKey')
print(gateway.account.firstname)

'''
Results:
Mr
'''
```
### Computer lookup
https://www.printnode.com/docs/api/curl/#computers

#### computers(self, computer)
Given a set of computers, returns these computers. Given only one id, returns that computer.

```python
from printnode_community import Gateway

gateway=Gateway(url='https://api.printnode.com',apikey='secretAPIKey')
print(gateway.computers(computer=10027).name)

'''
Results:
5.2015-07-10 15:04:40.253763.TEST-COMPUTER
'''
```
### Printer lookup
https://www.printnode.com/docs/api/curl/#printers

#### printers(self, computer=None, printer=None)
There are four ways this can be run:

* *printer* & *computer* argument both None: Gives all printers attached to the account.
* *printer* str/int, *computer* None: Gives a printer found from either an id or the name of a printer, taken from all possible printers.
* *printer* None, *computer* int: Gives all printers attached to the computer given by an id.
* *printer* str/int, *computer* int: Gives a printer found from either an id or the name of a printer, taken only from printers attached to the computer specified by the computer's id.

```python
from printnode_community import Gateway

gateway=Gateway(url='https://api.printnode.com',apikey='secretAPIKey')
print(gateway.printers(printer=50120).name)
for printer in gateway.printers(computer=10027):
    print(printer.name)

'''
Results:
10027.3.TEST-PRINTER
10027.1.TEST-PRINTER
10027.2.TEST-PRINTER
10027.3.TEST-PRINTER
10027.4.TEST-PRINTER
10027.5.TEST-PRINTER
'''
```

### PrintJob lookup
https://www.printnode.com/docs/api/curl/#printjob-viewing

#### printjobs(self, computer=None, printer=None, printjob=None
There are five ways this can be run:

* No arguments : Returns all printjobs associated with the account.
* *computer* int : Returns all printjobs relative to printers associated with the computer specified by the argument *computer*.
* *printer* int : Returns all printjobs relative to the printer specificed by the argument *printer*.
* *computer* int, *printer* int : Returns all printjobs relative to the printer specified by the argument *printer* from printers with access to *computer*.
* *printjob* int : Returns specific printjob.

```python
from printnode_community import Gateway

gateway=Gateway(url='https://api.printnode.com',apikey='secretAPIKey')
printjob_id = gateway.printjobs(computer=10027)[0].id
print(gateway.printjobs(printer=50120)[0].id)
print(gateway.printjobs(printjob=printjob_id))

'''
Results:
251137
PrintJob(id=251127, printer=Printer(id=50118, computer=Computer(id=10027, name='5.2015-07-10 15:04:40.253763.TEST-COMPUTER', inet=None, inet6=None, hostname=None, version=None, create_timestamp='2015-07-10T15:04:40.253Z', state='created'), name='10027.1.TEST-PRINTER', description='description', capabilities={'capability_1': 'one', 'capability_2': 'two'}, default=True, create_timestamp='2015-07-10T15:04:40.253Z', state=None), title='50118.1.TEST-PRINTJOB', content_type='pdf_uri', source='API test endpoint', expire_at=None, create_timestamp='2015-07-10T15:04:40.253Z', state='new')
'''
```
### PrintJob creation

#### PrintJob(self, computer=None, printer=None, job_type='pdf', title='PrintJob',options=None,authentication=None,uri=None,base64=None,binary=None)
Only one of uri, base64 and binary can be chosen.

```python
from printnode_community import Gateway

gateway=Gateway(url='https://api.printnode.com',apikey='secretAPIKey')
print(gateway.PrintJob(printer=50120,options={"copies":2},uri="a.pdf"))

'''
Results:
PrintJob(id=251153, printer=Printer(id=50120, computer=Computer(id=10027, name='5.2015-07-10 15:04:40.253763.TEST-COMPUTER', inet=None, inet6=None, hostname=None, version=None, create_timestamp='2015-07-10T15:04:40.253Z', state='created'), name='10027.3.TEST-PRINTER', description='description', capabilities={'capability_1': 'one', 'capability_2': 'two'}, default=False, create_timestamp='2015-07-10T15:04:40.253Z', state=None), title='PrintJob', content_type='pdf_uri', source='PythonApiClient', expire_at=None, create_timestamp='2015-07-10T15:05:27.087Z', state='new')

#### states(self, printjob_set)
Given a set of printjobs as a string (check https://www.printnode.com/docs/api/curl/#parameters for examples), returns a list of object type State. As each PrintJob can have many states, `states()` is a list of PrintJobs that each have a list of States.

```python
from printnode_community import Gateway

gateway=Gateway(url='https://api.printnode.com',apikey='secretAPIKey')
printjob_id = gateway.printjobs(computer=10027)[0].id
print(gateway.states(printjob_id)[0][0].state)

'''

Results:
Everything!
'''
```
### Tag modification
#### ModifyTag(self, tagname, tagvalue)
Given a *tagname* and *tagvalue*, either creates a tag with specifed value if *tagname* doesn't exist, otherwise changes the value.
