This project is a simple wrapper around the What.cd AJAX API.
Example usage:
>>> import whatapi
>>> apihandle = whatapi.WhatAPI(username='me', password='secret')
>>> apihandle.request("browse", searchstr="Talulah Gosh")
...
>>> apihandle.get_torrent(1234567)
...
It's strongly recommended that your script implements saving/loading session cookies to prevent overloading the server.
Example:
>>> import whatapi
>>> import cPickle as pickle
>>> cookies = pickle.load(open('cookies.dat', 'rb'))
>>> apihandle = whatapi.WhatAPI(username='me', password='me', cookies=cookies)
...
>>> pickle.dump(apihandle.session.cookies, open('cookies.dat', 'wb'))
API available at Gwindow's API page or via the JSON API page on What.
