bitsnoop - Unofficial Python API for BitSnoop

Currently implemented:

A001 — FakeSkan status of torrent

module bitsnoop.fakeskan

Usage

from bitsnoop import fakeskan

fk = fakeskan.Fakeskan()  # create a fakeskan object with default URL

if fk("43DBF6EBC059CD97ACAE7CAF308A0E050A7EC51A") == fakeskan.VERIFIED:
        print("This torrent is verified!")

Since bitsnoop.com implements some form of rate limiting on queries, we provide a minimal caching interface:

dictcache = {}

fk = fakeskan.Fakeskan(cache=dictcache, cache_expiry=120)

if fk("43DBF6EBC059CD97ACAE7CAF308A0E050A7EC51A") == fakeskan.VERIFIED:
        print("This torrent is verified!")

The cache object is treated like a dictionary and can thus also be an object that implements persistency (like shelve).
