Webdav API
Webdav API is a set of webdav methods of work with cloud storage. This set includes the following methods: check
, free
, info
, list
, mkdir
, clean
, copy
, move
, download
, upload
, publish
and unpublish
.
Configuring the client
Required keys for configuring client connection with WevDAV-server are webdav_hostname and webdav_login, webdav,_password.
import webdav.client as wc
options = {
'webdav_hostname': "https://webdav.server.ru",
'webdav_login': "login",
'webdav_password': "password"
}
client = wc.Client(options)
When a proxy server you need to specify settings to connect through it.
import webdav.client as wc
options = {
'webdav_hostname': "https://webdav.server.ru",
'webdav_login': "w_login",
'webdav_password': "w_password",
'proxy_hostname': "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
'proxy_login': "p_login",
'proxy_password': "p_password"
}
client = wc.Client(options)
If you want to use the certificate path to certificate and private key is defined as follows:
import webdav.client as wc
options = {
'webdav_hostname': "https://webdav.server.ru",
'webdav_login': "w_login",
'webdav_password': "w_password",
'cert_path': "/etc/ssl/certs/certificate.crt",
'key_path': "/etc/ssl/private/certificate.key"
}
client = wc.Client(options)
Or you want to limit the speed or turn on verbose mode:
options = {
...
'recv_speed' : 3000000,
'send_speed' : 3000000,
'verbose' : True
}
client = wc.Client(options)
recv_speed: rate limit data download speed in Bytes per second. Defaults to unlimited speed.
send_speed: rate limit data upload speed in Bytes per second. Defaults to unlimited speed.
verbose: set verbose mode on/off. By default verbose mode is off.
Synchronous methods
# Checking existence of the resource
client.check("dir1/file1")
client.check("dir1")
# Get information about the resource
client.info("dir1/file1")
client.info("dir1/")
# Check free space
free_size = client.free()
# Get a list of resources
files1 = client.list()
files2 = client.list("dir1")
# Create directory
client.mkdir("dir1/dir2")
# Delete resource
client.clean("dir1/dir2")
# Copy resource
client.copy(remote_path_from="dir1/file1", remote_path_to="dir2/file1")
client.copy(remote_path_from="dir2", remote_path_to="dir3")
# Move resource
client.move(remote_path_from="dir1/file1", remote_path_to="dir2/file1")
client.move(remote_path_from="dir2", remote_path_to="dir3")
# Move resource
client.download_sync(remote_path="dir1/file1", local_path="~/Downloads/file1")
client.download_sync(remote_path="dir1/dir2/", local_path="~/Downloads/dir2/")
# Unload resource
client.upload_sync(remote_path="dir1/file1", local_path="~/Documents/file1")
client.upload_sync(remote_path="dir1/dir2/", local_path="~/Documents/dir2/")
# Publish the resource
link = client.publish("dir1/file1")
link = client.publish("dir2")
# Unpublish resource
client.unpublish("dir1/file1")
client.unpublish("dir2")
# Exception handling
from webdav.client import WebDavException
try:
...
except WebDavException as exception:
...
# Get the missing files
client.pull(remote_directory='dir1', local_directory='~/Documents/dir1')
# Send missing files
client.push(remote_directory='dir1', local_directory='~/Documents/dir1')
Asynchronous methods
# Load resource
kwargs = {
'remote_path': "dir1/file1",
'local_path': "~/Downloads/file1",
'callback': callback
}
client.download_async(**kwargs)
kwargs = {
'remote_path': "dir1/dir2/",
'local_path': "~/Downloads/dir2/",
'callback': callback
}
client.download_async(**kwargs)
# Unload resource
kwargs = {
'remote_path': "dir1/file1",
'local_path': "~/Downloads/file1",
'callback': callback
}
client.upload_async(**kwargs)
kwargs = {
'remote_path': "dir1/dir2/",
'local_path': "~/Downloads/dir2/",
'callback': callback
}
client.upload_async(**kwargs)
Resource API
Resource API using the concept of OOP that enables cloud-level resources.
# Get a resource
res1 = client.resource("dir1/file1")
# Work with the resource
res1.rename("file2")
res1.move("dir1/file2")
res1.copy("dir2/file1")
info = res1.info()
res1.read_from(buffer)
res1.read(local_path="~/Documents/file1")
res1.read_async(local_path="~/Documents/file1", callback)
res1.write_to(buffer)
res1.write(local_path="~/Downloads/file1")
res1.write_async(local_path="~/Downloads/file1", callback)
wdc
wdc - a cross-platform utility that provides convenient work with WebDAV-servers right from your console. In addition to full implementations of methods from webdav API, also added methods content sync local and remote directories.
Authentication
- Basic authentication
$ wdc login https://wedbav.server.ru -p http://127.0.0.1:8080
webdav_login: w_login
webdav_password: w_password
proxy_login: p_login
proxy_password: p_password
success
- Authorize the application using OAuth token*
$ wdc login https://wedbav.server.ru -p http://127.0.0.1:8080 --token xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
proxy_login: p_login
proxy_password: p_password
success
There are also additional keys --root[-r]
, --cert-path[-c]
and --key-path[-k]
.

WebDAV-server
The most popular cloud-based repositories that support the Protocol WebDAV can be attributed Yandex.Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Box and 4shared. Access to data repositories, operating with access to the Internet. If necessary local locations and cloud storage, you can deploy your own WebDAV-server.
Local WebDAV-server
To deploy a local WebDAV server, using Docker containers quite easily and quickly. To see an example of a local deploymentWebDAV servers can be on the project webdav-server-docker.

Configuring connections
To work with cloud storage Dropbox and Google Drive via the WebDAV Protocol, you must use a WebDAV-server DropDAV and DAV-pocket, respectively.
A list of settings for WebDAV servers:
webdav-servers:
- yandex
hostname: https://webdav.yandex.ru
login: #login_for_yandex
password: #pass_for_yandex
- dropbox
hostname: https://dav.dropdav.com
login: #login_for dropdav
password: #pass_for_dropdav
- google
hostname: https://dav-pocket.appspot.com
root: docso
login: #login_for_dav-pocket
password: #pass_for_dav-pocket
- box
hostname: https://dav.box.com
root: dav
login: #login_for_box
password: #pass_for_box
- 4shared
hostname: https://webdav.4shared.com
login: #login_for_4shared
password: #pass_for_4shared
Autocompletion
For macOS, or older Unix systems you need to update bash.
$ brew install bash
$ chsh
$ brew install bash-completion
Autocompletion can be enabled globally
$ sudo activate-global-python-argcomplete
or locally
#.bashrc
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete wdc)"
