Constructor Fields Properties Methods
insert_link anonfile.AnonFile(object)

Implements the unofficial Python API for https://anonfiles.com .

Constructor

insert_link AnonFile. __init__(self, token: str="undefined", timeout: Tuple[float, float]=AnonFile._timeout, total: int=AnonFile._total, status_forcelist: List[int]=AnonFile._status_forcelist, backoff_factor: int=AnonFile._backoff_factor, user_agent: str=AnonFile._user_agent, proxies: dict=AnonFile._proxies) -> AnonFile

Create a new AnonFile object. Provides many additional parameter to configure the behavior of the underlying session object. 

            
                from anonfile import AnonFile
                from faker import Faker

                # faker needs to be installed separately
                chrome_ua = Faker().chrome(version_from=90, version_to=93, build_from=4400, build_to=4500)
                anon = AnonFile("my-secret-token", user_agent=chrome_ua)

In the example above we used the faker library to create a fake user agent, though this is not required. Same goes for the token: you still use this library without specifying a token.

Fields

insert_link AnonFile.API -> str

Defines the base API address used to make requests to https://anonfiles.com and is primarily used by the library to build the endpoints.

Properties

insert_link self.retry_strategy -> Retry

The retry strategy returns the retry configuration made up of the number of total retries, the status force list as well as the backoff factor. It is used in the session property where these values are passed to the HTTP Adapter.

insert_link self.session -> Session

Create a custom session object. A request session provides cookie persistence, connection-pooling, and further configuration options.

Methods

insert_link AnonFile.upload(self, path: Union[str, Path], progressbar: bool=False, enable_logging: bool=False) -> ParseResponse

Upload a file located in path to https://anonfiles.com Set enable_logging to True to store the URL in a global config file. 

            
                from anonfile import AnonFile

                anon = AnonFile()
                upload = anon.upload('test.txt')

                # https://anonfiles.com/9ee1jcu6u9/test_txt
                print(upload.url.geturl())

Although anonfile offers unlimited bandwidth, uploads cannot exceed a file size of 20GB in theory. Due to technical difficulties in the implementation, the upper cap occurs much earlier at around 500MB.

insert_link AnonFile.preview(self, url: str, path: Union[str, Path]=Path.cwd()) -> ParseResponse

Obtain meta data associated with this url without committing to a time-consuming download. 

            
                from anonfile import AnonFile

                anon = AnonFile()
                preview = anon.preview('https://anonfiles.com/b7NaVd0cu3/topsecret_mkv')

                # File Size: 116271961B
                print(f"File Size: {preview.size}B")
insert_link AnonFile.download(self, path: Union[str, Path]=Path.cwd(), progressbar: bool=False, enable_logging: bool=False) -> ParseResponse

Download a file from https://anonfiles.com given a url. Set the download directory in path (defaults to the current working directory). Set enable_logging to True to store the URL in a global config file. 

            
                from anonfile import AnonFile
                from pathlib import Path

                anon = AnonFile()
                anon = AnonFile('my_token')
                target_dir = Path.home().joinpath('Downloads')
                result = anon.download("https://anonfiles.com/9ee1jcu6u9/test_txt", target_dir)
                # WindowsPath('C:/Users/username/Downloads/test.txt')
                print(result.file_path)
