Sketchfab API Client

Getting started

Install the module:

pip3 install sketchfab

Using the CLI

SKETCHFAB_API_TOKEN=XXXX sketchfab upload -f my_file.zip

Using the lib

This code creates a directory for each of your collection and places all models inside it.

import os
import sketchfab

sfc = sketchfab.Client('YOUR-API-KEY')
for c in sfc.collections():
    print("Collection:", c)
    col_dir = os.path.join("download", c.name)
    os.makedirs(col_dir, exist_ok=True)
    for m in c.models():
        model_dir = os.path.join(col_dir, m.name)
        print(f"  Model: {m.name} ({model_dir})")
        if not os.path.exists(model_dir):
            os.rename(m.download_to_dir(), model_dir)

Which will give you something like that:

Collection: Collection{empty collection}
Collection: Collection{housing-updates}

Why

• I couldn't find one
• The sample codes from the sketchfab website are pretty much unuseable

Choices

• The API is designed to be as simple as possible to use

Known issues

• The code might not be the most elegant. I'm definitely interested by any feedback you can provide me on that.

• The official swagger-based documentation is not respecting the API behavior. As such you might find that:

  • The library enforces some strange rules (like passing a model when creating a model)
  • The library doesn't properly use the API (like listing the models of a collection through search)

  In both case it was by trial and error that I discovered how to use the API. If you find better ways to do it I'm interested.

• The listing doesn't work with long lists (it needs to be re-implemented as an iterable calling the listing API)

• The CLI is pretty much useless at this stage

Missing APIs

You can submit pull-requests or ask me to implement any feature that you need and might be missing.
