Two tools for interacting with Habitica:
- Python wrapper for the RESTful Habitica API (
habitica.api) - Command-line interface with subcommands (e.g.
> habitica todos)
pip install habitica.
I push to pip fairly frequently, but if you'd like to be on the bleeding edge, clone this project and install it by hand:
> git clone https://github.com/philadams/habitica
> pip install -e habitica
You'll need to let the tool know how to connect to your Habitica account. To do
this, you'll need to add the following credentials section in the file
~/.config/habitica/auth.cfg (you may need to create the folder(s) and file):
[Habitica]
url = https://habitica.com
login = USER_ID
password = API_KEY
There's a template for this file at auth.cfg.sample.
Replace USER_ID and API_KEY with the corresponding tokens from your Habitica settings>API page.
You can replace url as needed, for example if you're self-hosting a Habitica
server.
Lastly, remember to chmod 600 ~/.config/habitica/auth.cfg to keep your
credentials secret.

Via habitica --help:
Habitica command-line interface.

<command> [<args>...] [--difficulty=<d>]
[--verbose | --debug] [--checklists]

-h --help Show this screen
--version Show version
--difficulty=<d> (easy | medium | hard) [default: easy]

The habitica commands are:
status Show HP, XP, GP, and more
habits List habit tasks
habits up <task-id> Up (+) habit <task-id>
habits down <task-id> Down (-) habit <task-id>
dailies List daily tasks
dailies done Mark daily <task-id> complete
dailies undo Mark daily <task-id> incomplete
todos List todo tasks
todos done <task-id> Mark one or more todo <task-id> completed
todos add <task> Add todo with description <task>
todos delete <task-id> Delete one or more todo <task-id>
server Show status of Habitica service
home Open tasks page in default browser
For `habits up|down`, `dailies done|undo`, `todos done`, and `todos
delete`, you can pass one or more <task-id> parameters, using either
comma-separated lists or ranges or both. For example, `todos done
1,3,6-9,11`.
To show checklists with "todos" and "dailies" permanently, set
'checklists' in your auth.cfg file to `checklists = true`.
Thanks to mohsend, habitica now has shell completion! Basically, you'll want to add the following to your ~/.profile:
if [ -f PATH_TO_SITE_PACKAGES/habitica/shell_completion.sh ]; then
. PATH_TO_SITE_PACKAGES/habitica/shell_completion.sh
fi
You can find your site-packages path with python -c 'import habitica; print habitica.__path__[0]'.
Many thanks to the following excellent projects:
And to contributors to this project.
