quick start ========== If you previously used the go package `rmapi`_ ,the keys for authorization are re-used because we use the same storage location & format. If not, you'll need to register the client as a new device on `my remarkable`_. .. _my remarkable: https://my.remarkable.com/device/desktop/connect .. _rmapi: https://github.com/juruen/rmapi Registering the API Client ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Registering the device is easy. Go to `my remarkable`_ to register a new device and use the code you see on the webpage .. code-block:: python :linenos: from rmapy.api import Client rmapy = Client() # Should return False rmapy.is_auth() # This registers the client as a new device. The received device token is # stored in the users directory in the file ~/.rmapi, the same as with the # go rmapi client. # Get a token at https://my.remarkable.com/device/desktop/connect. rmapy.register_device("fkgzzklrs") # It's always a good idea to renew the user token every time you start # a new session. rmapy.renew_token() # Should return True rmapy.is_auth() Working with items ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The remarkable fs structure is flat containing metadata objects of two types: * DocumentType * CollectionType We can list the items in the Cloud .. code-block:: python :linenos: >>> from rmapy.api import Client >>> rmapy = Client() >>> rmapy.renew_token() True >>> collection = rmapy.get_meta_items() >>> collection >>> len(collection) 181 >>> # Count the amount of documents ... from rmapy.document import Document >>> len([f for f in collection if isinstance(f, Document)]) 139 >>> # Count the amount of folders ... from rmapy.folder import Folder >>> len([f for f in collection if isinstance(f, Folder)]) 42 DocumentType ```````````` A DocumentType is a document. This can be a pdf, epub or notebook. These types are represented by the object :class:`rmapy.document.Document` Changing the metadata is easy .. code-block:: python :linenos: >>> from rmapy.api import Client >>> rmapy = Client() >>> rmapy.renew_token() True >>> collection = rmapy.get_meta_items() >>> doc = [ d for d in collection if d.VissibleName == 'ModernC'][0] >>> doc >>> doc.to_dict() {'ID': 'a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3', 'Version': 1, 'Message': '', 'Succes': True, 'BlobURLGet': '', 'BlobURLGetExpires': '0001-01-01T00:00:00Z', 'BlobURLPut': '', 'BlobURLPutExpires': '', 'ModifiedClient': '2019-09-18T20:12:07.206206Z', 'Type': 'DocumentType', 'VissibleName': 'ModernC', 'CurrentPage': 0, 'Bookmarked': False, 'Parent': ''} >>> doc.VissibleName = "Modern C: The book of wisdom" >>> # push the changes back to the Remarkable Cloud ... rmapy.update_metadata(doc) True >>> collection = rmapy.get_meta_items() >>> doc = [ d for d in docs if d.VissibleName == 'ModernC'][0] Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in IndexError: list index out of range >>> doc = [ d for d in docs if d.VissibleName == 'Modern C: The book of wisdom'][0] >>> doc >>> doc.to_dict() {'ID': 'a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3', 'Version': 1, 'Message': '', 'Succes': True, 'BlobURLGet': '', 'BlobURLGetExpires': '0001-01-01T00:00:00Z', 'BlobURLPut': '', 'BlobURLPutExpires': '', 'ModifiedClient': '2019-09-18T20:12:07.206206Z', 'Type': 'DocumentType', 'VissibleName': 'Modern C: The book of wisdom', 'CurrentPage': 0, 'Bookmarked': False, 'Parent': ''} CollectionType `````````````` A CollectionType is a Folder. These types are represented by the object :class:`rmapy.folder.Folder` Working with folders is easy! .. code-block:: python :linenos: >>> from rmapy.api import Client >>> rmapy = Client() >>> rmapy.renew_token() True >>> collection = rmapy.get_meta_items() >>> collection >>> from rmapy.folder import Folder >>> # Get all the folders. Note that the fs of Remarkable is flat in the cloud ... folders = [ f for f in collection if isinstance(f, Folder) ] >>> folders [, , ...] >>> # Get the root folders ... root = [ f for f in folders if f.Parent == "" ] >>> root [, , ...] >>> # Create a new folder ... new_folder = Folder("New Folder") >>> new_folder >>> rmapy.create_folder(new_folder) True >>> # verify ... [ f for f in rmapy.get_meta_items() if f.VissibleName == "New Folder" ] [] >>> [ f for f in rmapy.get_meta_items() if f.VissibleName == "New Folder" ][0].ID == new_folder.ID True >>> # Move a document in a folder ... doc = rmapy.get_doc("a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3") >>> doc >>> doc.Parent = new_folder.ID >>> # Submit the changes ... rmapy.update_metadata(doc) True >>> doc = rmapy.get_doc("a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3") >>> doc.Parent == new_folder.ID True Uploading & downloading ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ reMarkable has a "special" file format for the raw documents. This is basically a zip file with files describing the document. Here is the content of an archive retried on the tablet as example: * 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.content * 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40-metadata.json * 384326f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.pdf * 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.pagedata * 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.thumbnails/0.jpg * 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.highlights/9b75d8df-1d06-4c59-8f3e-4cf69aa96cd9.json As the .zip file from remarkable is simply a normal .zip file containing specific file formats. Highlights are stored in the `{uuid}.highlights/` folder. You can find some help about the format at the following URL: https://remarkablewiki.com/tech/filesystem Uploading ````````` To upload a pdf or epub file, we'll first need to convert it into the remarkable file format: .. code-block:: python :linenos: >>> from rmapy.document import ZipDocument >>> from rmapy.api import Client >>> rm = Client() >>> rm.renew_token() True >>> rawDocument = ZipDocument(doc="/home/svancampenhout/27-11-2019.pdf") >>> rawDocument >>> rawDocument.metadata["VissibleName"] '27-11-2019' Now we can upload this to a specific folder: .. code-block:: python :linenos: >>> books = [ i for i in rm.get_meta_items() if i.VissibleName == "Boeken" ][0] >>> rm.upload(rawDocument, books) True And verify its existance: .. code-block:: python :linenos: >>> [ i.VissibleName for i in collection.children(books) if i.Type == "DocumentType" ] ['Origin - Dan Brown', 'Flatland', 'Game Of Thrones', '27-11-2019']
