# audible-cli **audible-cli** is a command line interface for the [Audible](https://github.com/mkb79/Audible) package. Both are written with Python. ## Requirements audible-cli needs at least *Python 3.6* and *Audible v0.6.0*. It depends on the following packages: * aiofiles * audible * click * colorama (on windows machines) * httpx * Pillow * tabulate * toml * tqdm ## Installation You can install audible-cli from pypi with ```shell pip install audible-cli ``` or install it directly from github with ```shell git clone https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli.git cd audible-cli pip install . ``` ## Standalone executables If you don't want to install `Python` and `audible-cli` on your machine, you can find standalone exe files below or on the [releases](https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/releases) page. At this moment Windows, Linux and MacOS are supported. ### Links 1.

Windows - [Windows onefile](https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/releases/latest/download/audible_win.zip) - [Windows onedir](https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/releases/latest/download/audible_win_dir.zip) On every execution, the binary code must be extracted. On Windows machines this can result in a long start time. If you use `audible-cli` often, I would prefer the `directory` package for Windows! ### Creating executables on your own You can create them yourself this way ```shell git clone https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli.git cd audible-cli pip install .[pyi] # onefile output pyinstaller --clean -F --hidden-import audible_cli -n audible -c pyi_entrypoint # onedir output pyinstaller --clean -D --hidden-import audible_cli -n audible -c pyi_entrypoint ``` ### Hints There are some limitations when using plugins. The binarys maybe does not contain all the dependencies from your plugin script. ## Tab Completion Tab completion can be provided for commands, options and choice values. Bash, Zsh and Fish are supported. More information can be found [here](https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/tree/master/utils/code_completion). ## Basic information ### App dir audible-cli use an app dir where it expects all necessary files. If the ``AUDIBLE_CONFIG_DIR`` environment variable is set, it uses the value as config dir. Otherwise, it will use a folder depending on the operating system. | OS | Path | | --- | --- | | Windows | ``C:\Users\\AppData\Local\audible`` | | Unix | ``~/.audible`` | | Mac OS X | ``~/.audible`` | ### The config file The config data will be stored in the [toml](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) format as ``config.toml``. It has a main section named ``APP`` and sections for each profile created named ``profile.`` ### profiles audible-cli make use of profiles. Each profile contains the name of the corresponding auth file and the country code for the audible marketplace. If you have audiobooks on multiple marketplaces, you have to create a profile for each one with the same auth file. In the main section of the config file, a primary profile is defined. This profile is used, if no other is specified. You can call `audible -P PROFILE_NAME`, to select another profile. ### auth files Like the config file, auth files are stored in the config dir too. If you protected your auth file with a password call `audible -p PASSWORD`, to provide the password. If the auth file is encrypted, and you don’t provide the password, you will be asked for it with a „hidden“ input field. ### Config options An option in the config file is separated by an underline. In the CLI prompt, an option must be entered with a dash. #### APP section The APP section supports the following options: - primary_profile: The profile to use, if no other is specified - filename_mode: When using the `download` command, a filename mode can be specified here. If not present, "ascii" will be used as default. To override these option, you can provide a mode with the `filename-mode` option of the download command. #### Profile section - auth_file: The auth file for this profile - country_code: The marketplace for this profile - filename_mode: See APP section above. Will override the option in APP section. ## Getting started Use the `audible-quickstart` or `audible quickstart` command in your shell to create your first config, profile and auth file. `audible-quickstart` runs on the interactive mode, so you have to answer multiple questions to finish. ## Commands Call `audible -h` to show the help and a list of all available subcommands. You can show the help for each subcommand like so: `audible -h`. If a subcommand has another subcommands, you csn do it the same way. At this time, there the following buildin subcommands: - `activation-bytes` - `api` - `download` - `library` - `export` - `list` - `manage` - `auth-file` - `add` - `remove` - `config` - `edit` - `profile` - `add` - `list` - `remove` - `quickstart` - `wishlist` - `export` - `list` ## Verbosity option There are 6 different verbosity levels: - debug - info - warning - error - critical By default the verbosity level is set to `info`. You can provide another level like so: `audible -v ...`. If you use the `download` sudcommand with the `--all` flag there will be a huge output. Best practise is to set the verbosity level to `error` with `audible -v error download --all ...` ## Plugins ### Plugin Folder If the ``AUDIBLE_PLUGIN_DIR`` environment variable is set, it uses the value as location for the plugin dir. Otherwise, it will use a the `plugins` subdir of the app dir. Read above how Audible-cli searches the app dir. ### Custom Commands You can provide own subcommands and execute them with `audible SUBCOMMAND`. All plugin commands must be placed in the plugin folder. Every subcommand must have his own file. Every file have to be named ``cmd_{SUBCOMMAND}.py``. Each subcommand file must have a function called `cli` as entrypoint. This function have to be decorated with ``@click.group(name="GROUP_NAME")`` or ``@click.command(name="GROUP_NAME")``. Relative imports in the command files doesn't work. So you have to work with absolute imports. Please take care about this. If you have any issues with absolute imports please add your plugin path to the `PYTHONPATH` variable or add this lines of code to the begining of your command script: ```python import sys import pathlib sys.path.insert(0, str(pathlib.Path(__file__).parent)) ``` Examples can be found [here](https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/tree/master/plugin_cmds). ## Own Plugin Packages If you want to develop a complete plugin package for ``audible-cli`` you can do this on an easy way. You only need to register your sub-commands or sub-groups to an entry-point in your setup.py that is loaded by the core package. Example for a setup.py ```python from setuptools import setup setup( name="yourscript", version="0.1", py_modules=["yourscript"], install_requires=[ "click", "audible_cli" ], entry_points=""" [audible.cli_plugins] cool_subcommand=yourscript.cli:cool_subcommand another_subcommand=yourscript.cli:another_subcommand """, ) ``` ## Command priority order Commands will be added in the following order: 1. plugin dir commands 2. plugin packages commands 3. build-in commands If a command is added, all further commands with the same name will be ignored. This enables you to "replace" build-in commands very easy. ## List of known add-ons for `audible-cli` - [audible-cli-flask](https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli-flask) - [audible-series](https://pypi.org/project/audible-series/) If you want to add information about your add-on please open a PR or a new issue!
