PyPI's XML-RPC methods ==

PyPI APIs: Simple, JSON, XMLRPC.

The XMLRPC interface for PyPI is considered legacy and should not be used. Use the [[PyPISimple|Simple]] and [[PyPIJSON|JSON]] APIs.

PyPI's XML-RPC methods

Example usage:

>>> try:
>>>     import xmlrpclib
>>> except ImportError:
>>>     import xmlrpc.client as xmlrpclib
>>> import pprint
>>> client = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('https://pypi.python.org/pypi')
>>> client.package_releases('roundup')
['1.4.10']
>>> pprint.pprint(client.release_urls('roundup', '1.4.10'))

list_packages()

  • Retrieve a list of the package names registered with the package index. Returns a list of name strings.

package_releases(package_name, show_hidden=False)

  • Retrieve a list of the releases registered for the given package_name. Returns a list with all version strings if show_hidden is True or only the non-hidden ones otherwise.

package_roles(package_name)

  • Retrieve a list of users and their attributes roles for a given package_name. Role is either 'Maintainer' or 'Owner'.

user_packages(user)

  • Retrieve a list of [role_name, package_name] for a given username. Role is either 'Maintainer' or 'Owner'.

release_downloads(package_name, version)

  • Retrieve a list of files and download count for a given package and release version.

release_urls(package_name, version)

  • Retrieve a list of download URLs for the given package release. Returns a list of dicts with the following keys:
    • url
    • packagetype ('sdist', 'bdist', etc)
    • filename
    • size
    • md5_digest
    • downloads
    • has_sig
    • python_version (required version, or 'source', or 'any')
    • comment_text

release_data(package_name, version)

  • Retrieve metadata describing a specific package release. Returns a dict with keys for:
    • name
    • version
    • stable_version
    • author
    • author_email
    • maintainer
    • maintainer_email
    • home_page
    • license
    • summary
    • description
    • keywords
    • platform
    • download_url
    • classifiers (list of classifier strings)
    • requires
    • requires_dist
    • provides
    • provides_dist
    • requires_external
    • requires_python
    • obsoletes
    • obsoletes_dist
    • project_url
    • docs_url (URL of the packages.python.org docs if they've been supplied)
    If the release does not exist, an empty dictionary is returned.

search(spec[, operator])

  • Search the package database using the indicated search spec.
  • The spec may include any of the keywords described in the above list (except 'stable_version' and 'classifiers'), for example: {'description': 'spam'} will search description fields. Within the spec, a field's value can be a string or a list of strings (the values within the list are combined with an OR), for example: {'name': ['foo', 'bar']}. Valid keys for the spec dict are listed here. Invalid keys are ignored:
    • name
    • version
    • author
    • author_email
    • maintainer
    • maintainer_email
    • home_page
    • license
    • summary
    • description
    • keywords
    • platform
    • download_url
    Arguments for different fields are combined using either "and" (the default) or "or". Example: search({'name': 'foo', 'description': 'bar'}, 'or'). The results are returned as a list of dicts {'name': package name, 'version': package release version, 'summary': package release summary}

browse(classifiers)

  • Retrieve a list of (name, version) pairs of all releases classified with all of the given classifiers. 'classifiers' must be a list of Trove classifier strings.

changelog(since, with_ids=False)

  • Retrieve a list of four-tuples (name, version, timestamp, action), or five-tuple including the serial id if ids are requested, since the given timestamp. All timestamps are UTC values. The argument is a UTC integer seconds since the epoch.

changelog_last_serial()

  • Retrieve the last event's serial id.

changelog_since_serial(since_serial)

  • Retrieve a list of five-tuples (name, version, timestamp, action, serial) since the event identified by the given serial. All timestamps are UTC values. The argument is a UTC integer seconds since the epoch.
