Send To Kindle

stkclient implements a client for amazon's "Send to Kindle" service. It allows python programs to send files to a kindle device without the 10mb limit that applies to email files.

Features

OAuth-based authorization
Send large (>10MB) files to Kindle devices

Installation

You can install Send To Kindle via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install stkclient

Creating a Client

To create a client, you must authenticate the user. Currently the only supported authentication mechanism is OAuth2:

import stkclient

a = stkclient.OAuth2()
signin_url = a.get_signin_url()
# Open `signin_url` in a browser, sign in and authorize the application, pass
# the final redirect_url below
client = a.create_client(redirect_url)

Once a client is created, it can be serialized and deserialized using Client.load / Client.loads and client.dump / client.dumps

with open('client.json', 'w') as f:
    client.dump(f)
with open('client.json', 'r') as f:
    client = stkclient.Client.load(f)

Sending a File

Once you have a Client object, you can list devices and send files to specified devices.

devices = client.get_owned_devices()
destinations = [d.device_serial_number for d in devices.owned_devices]
client.send_file(filepath, destinations, author=author, title=title)
