Python library for 6px

Python library for interacting with the 6px API. This library includes methods that makes sending image processing jobs to 6px easier.

Getting Started

Install Pip:

$ pip install 6px

Sudo-chop if necessary... ##Examples If you want to simply upload an image to the 6px CDN:

from _6px import 6px

6px = 6px.init(
    user_id='YOUR USER ID',
    api_key='YOUR API KEY',
    api_secret='YOUR API SECRET'
)

6px.load('taxi', 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/ooomf-com-files/mtNrf7oxS4uSxTzMBWfQ_DSC_0043.jpg')

out = 6px.output({ 'taxi': 'unsplashed_taxi' })
out.tag('raw').url('6px');

6px.save()

Given that vintage photos are kind of kind of popular right now, let's take this up a notch:

from _6px import 6px

6px = 6px.init(
	user_id='YOUR USER ID',
	api_key='YOUR API KEY',
	api_secret='YOUR API SECRET'
)

6px.load('taxi', 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/ooomf-com-files/mtNrf7oxS4uSxTzMBWfQ_DSC_0043.jpg')

out = 6px.output({ 'taxi': 'unsplashed_taxi' })
out.tag('vintage')
	.url('6px')
	.filter({ sepia: 70 });

6px.save()

So, we have a bit of an extreme sepia effect going on here, but that's fine. I think this deserves to be more of a thumbnail. We are going to resize it now:

from _6px import 6px

6px = 6px.init(
	user_id='YOUR USER ID',
	api_key='YOUR API KEY',
	api_secret='YOUR API SECRET'
)

6px.load('taxi', 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/ooomf-com-files/mtNrf7oxS4uSxTzMBWfQ_DSC_0043.jpg')

out = 6px.output({ 'taxi': 'unsplashed_taxi' })
out.tag('vintage_thumb')
	.url('6px')
	.filter({ sepia: 70 })
	.resize({ width: 75 });

6px.save()

Another thing we can do is change the dominate color of an image:

from _6px import 6px

6px = 6px.init(
	user_id='YOUR USER ID',
	api_key='YOUR API KEY',
	api_secret='YOUR API SECRET'
)

6px.load('taxi', 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/ooomf-com-files/mtNrf7oxS4uSxTzMBWfQ_DSC_0043.jpg')

out = 6px.output({ 'taxi': 'unsplashed_taxi' })
out.tag('green')
	.url('6px')
	.filter({colorize: { hex: '#00FF00', strength: 80 }});

6px.save()

Let's blur the image at the same time.

from _6px import 6px

6px = 6px.init(
	user_id='YOUR USER ID',
	api_key='YOUR API KEY',
	api_secret='YOUR API SECRET'
)

6px.load('taxi', 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/ooomf-com-files/mtNrf7oxS4uSxTzMBWfQ_DSC_0043.jpg')

out = 6px.output({ 'taxi': 'unsplashed_taxi' })
out.tag('green_blur')
	.url('6px')
	.filter({
		colorize: { hex: '#00FF00', strength: 80 },
		stackBlur: 20
	});

6px.save()

Now that we have covered some of the simple use cases, feel free to refer to our documentation!
