pyswh - a Python wrapper library for the Software Heritage API

pyswh aims to wrap interactions with the Software Heritage REST API into a comfortable Python API.

Getting started

Install pyswh via pip:

pip install pyswh

Include pyswh in your project by adding a respective dependency to your project, e.g.,

pyswh = "^0.1.0"

You can now use pyswh:

from pyswh import swh
from pyswh import errors as swh_errors

try:
    swh.save('https://github.com/sdruskat/pyswh', False, 'SWH-API-AUTH-TOKEN')
except swh_errors.SwhSaveError as sse:
    raise sse
