This is a python wrapper around the unofficial just beam it API. It supports both sending and receiving files.
Via pip:
$ pip install pybeamit
Or from source:
$ git clone https://github.com/cartertemm/pybeamit.git
$ pip install .
Integrating P2P file sharing capability in your application is extremely simple.
On the sender's machine:
from pybeamit import JustBeamIt
j = JustBeamIt("file.wav")
#or for multiple files:
j = JustBeamIt(("file.wav", "file2.mp3"))
t=j.tokenise()
print("retrieval url for recipient: "+t)
print("waiting for recipient...")
j.wait()
print("starting the transfer")
j.transfer()
print("done")
On the receiving end:
from pybeamit import JustBeamIt
url = "" # e.g. https://www.justbeamit.com/s8x9j
j = JustBeamIt()
j.download(url, path="dest")
There are also a couple demos.
All operations require a JustBeamIt object:
class JustBeamIt(files=[], base_url=None, backend_url=None)
Once you have an instance, the following methods are defined:
tokenise()
Initiates the transfer with a backend server, returning a URL for download.
note: This must be called on the sender's machine.
wait()
Blocks until a recipient is available to receive the file.
transfer(progress_callback=None)
Perform the transfer, blocking until complete.
progress_callback will be called internally with one parameter, percentage
note: As of version 0.3, wait must be called first to ensure the other peer is ready to receive the file.
download(self, url_or_token, path=None, progress_callback=None, chunk_size=1024)
Blocking function that initiates a download.
The downloaded file will be saved in path (if provided) otherwise the current directory.
progress_callback will be called internally with one parameter, the percentage of the transfer (0-100).
