# Bandcamp Async API

A modern, asynchronous Python client for the Bandcamp API.

###### This project was created to [implement](https://github.com/music-assistant/server/pull/2871) a Bandcamp music provider for [Music Assistant](https://github.com/music-assistant), enabling seamless integration of Bandcamp's music catalog into home audio systems.

- **Repository**: https://github.com/ALERTua/bandcamp_async_api
- **Changelog**: https://github.com/ALERTua/bandcamp_async_api/releases
- **PyPI**: https://pypi.org/project/bandcamp_async_api/
- **Music Assistant**: https://github.com/music-assistant

## Features

- **Search**: Search for artists, albums, and tracks across Bandcamp
- **Albums**: Retrieve detailed album information including track listings
- **Tracks**: Get individual track details and streaming information
- **Artists**: Access artist profiles, discographies, and metadata
- **Collections**: Browse user collections and wishlists (auth required for private data)
- **Following**: Access following bands, following fans, and followers
- **Feed**: Get personalized music feed with new releases from followed artists
- **Async**: Fully asynchronous API using aiohttp
- **Type-safe**: Complete type hints for all models and methods
- **Well-tested**: Comprehensive test suite with real API data

## Installation

Install from PyPI:

```bash
pip install bandcamp-async-api
```

Or using uv:

```bash
uv add bandcamp-async-api
```

## Quick Start

```python
import asyncio
from bandcamp_async_api import BandcampAPIClient

async def main():
    async with BandcampAPIClient(identity_token='7%09optional_identity_token%7D') as client:
        # Search for music
        results = await client.search("radiohead")
        print(f"Found {len(results)} results")

        # Get album details
        if results:
            album_result = next(r for r in results if r.type == "album")
            album = await client.get_album(album_result.artist_id, album_result.id)
            print(f"Album: {album.title} by {album.artist.name}")

        # Get artist information
        artist_result = next(r for r in results if r.type == "artist")
        artist = await client.get_artist(artist_result.id)
        print(f"Artist: {artist.name} - {artist.bio}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Authentication

For accessing user collections, you need to obtain an identity token from Bandcamp cookies:

```python
from bandcamp_async_api import BandcampAPIClient

client = BandcampAPIClient(identity_token="your_identity_token")
```

## Music Feed

The `get_feed()` method retrieves a personalized music feed containing new releases from followed artists, fan purchases, and fan picks. This endpoint requires authentication - you must provide an identity token.

```python
import asyncio
from bandcamp_async_api import BandcampAPIClient, BandcampMustBeLoggedInError

async def main():
    async with BandcampAPIClient(identity_token='your_identity_token') as client:
        # Get your music feed
        feed = await client.get_feed()
        print(f"New stories: {len(feed.stories)}")
        print(f"Has more: {feed.has_more}")

        # Iterate through feed stories
        for story in feed.stories:
            print(f"  - {story.story_type}: {story.item_title} by {story.band_name}")

        # Access tracks with streaming URLs
        for track in feed.track_list:
            print(f"  Track: {track.title} - {track.streaming_url}")

        # Paginate through older stories
        if feed.has_more and feed.oldest_story_date:
            older_feed = await client.get_feed(older_than=feed.oldest_story_date)
            print(f"Older stories: {len(older_feed.stories)}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())
```

### Feed Story Types

The feed contains different story types:
- `np` - New track/track release
- `nr` - New album release
- `p` - Fan purchase
- `fp` - Fan pick

### Error Handling

The feed endpoint requires authentication. If you try to access it without an identity token, you'll receive a `BandcampMustBeLoggedInError`:

```python
from bandcamp_async_api import BandcampAPIClient, BandcampMustBeLoggedInError

async def safe_get_feed():
    client = BandcampAPIClient()  # No identity token
    try:
        feed = await client.get_feed()
    except BandcampMustBeLoggedInError:
        print("Feed requires authentication - provide an identity token")
```

## API Reference

### Core Client

- `BandcampAPIClient()` - Main API client
- `search(query: str)` - Search Bandcamp
- `get_album(artist_id, album_id)` - Get album details
- `get_track(artist_id, track_id)` - Get track details
- `get_artist(artist_id)` - Get artist details
- `get_collection_summary()` - Get collection overview
- `get_collection_items(collection_type, older_than_token, count, fan_id)` - Get collection/wishlist/following items with pagination
- `get_artist_discography(artist_id)` - Get artist's complete discography

### Data Models

- `SearchResultItem` - Base search result
- `BCAlbum` - Album with tracks and metadata
- `BCTrack` - Individual track information
- `BCArtist` - Artist/band profile
- `CollectionSummary` - User's collection data
- `CollectionItem` - Individual collection item
- `FollowingItem` - Band/artist from following list
- `FanItem` - Fan/user from following_fans or followers
- `FeedResponse` - User's music feed with stories and tracks
- `FeedStory` - Individual feed story (new release, fan purchase, etc.)
- `FeedTrack` - Track from feed with streaming URL
- `FeedBandInfo` - Band information referenced in feed
- `FeedFanInfo` - Fan information referenced in feed

### Exceptions

- `BandcampAPIError` - Base API error
- `BandcampNotFoundError` - Resource not found
- `BandcampBadQueryError` - Invalid search query
- `BandcampRateLimitError` - Rate limit exceeded (includes `retry_after` attribute)

## Error Handling

The client provides specific exception types for different error conditions:

```python
from bandcamp_async_api import (
    BandcampAPIClient,
    BandcampNotFoundError,
    BandcampAPIError
)

async def safe_get_album(client, artist_id, album_id):
    try:
        return await client.get_album(artist_id, album_id)
    except BandcampNotFoundError:
        print("Album not found")
        return None
    except BandcampAPIError as e:
        print(f"API error: {e}")
        return None
```

### Rate Limiting

When Bandcamp's API rate limit is exceeded, a `BandcampRateLimitError` is raised with a `retry_after` attribute indicating how many seconds to wait before retrying:

```python
import asyncio
from bandcamp_async_api import BandcampAPIClient, BandcampRateLimitError

async def get_album_with_retry(client, artist_id, album_id, max_retries=3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            return await client.get_album(artist_id, album_id)
        except BandcampRateLimitError as e:
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                wait_time = e.retry_after or 30
                print(f"Rate limited. Waiting {wait_time} seconds...")
                await asyncio.sleep(wait_time)
            else:
                raise
```

For automatic retries with exponential backoff, you can use the `tenacity` library:

```python
from tenacity import retry, retry_if_exception_type, wait_exponential
from bandcamp_async_api import BandcampAPIClient, BandcampRateLimitError

@retry(
    retry=retry_if_exception_type(BandcampRateLimitError),
    wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=30, max=300)
)
async def get_album(client, artist_id, album_id):
    return await client.get_album(artist_id, album_id)
```
