Currently supports qBittorrent v5.0.0 (Web API v2.11.2) released on Sept 29, 2024.
User Guide and API Reference available on Read the Docs.
Install via pip from PyPI
python -m pip install qbittorrent-api
import qbittorrentapi
# instantiate a Client using the appropriate WebUI configuration
conn_info = dict(
host="localhost",
port=8080,
username="admin",
password="adminadmin",
)
qbt_client = qbittorrentapi.Client(**conn_info)
# the Client will automatically acquire/maintain a logged-in state
# in line with any request. therefore, this is not strictly necessary;
# however, you may want to test the provided login credentials.
try:
qbt_client.auth_log_in()
except qbittorrentapi.LoginFailed as e:
print(e)
# if the Client will not be long-lived or many Clients may be created
# in a relatively short amount of time, be sure to log out:
qbt_client.auth_log_out()
# or use a context manager:
with qbittorrentapi.Client(**conn_info) as qbt_client:
if qbt_client.torrents_add(urls="...") != "Ok.":
raise Exception("Failed to add torrent.")
# display qBittorrent info
print(f"qBittorrent: {qbt_client.app.version}")
print(f"qBittorrent Web API: {qbt_client.app.web_api_version}")
for k, v in qbt_client.app.build_info.items():
print(f"{k}: {v}")
# retrieve and show all torrents
for torrent in qbt_client.torrents_info():
print(f"{torrent.hash[-6:]}: {torrent.name} ({torrent.state})")
# stop all torrents
qbt_client.torrents.stop.all()
