Note that ThePirateBay depends on lxml. If you run into problems in the compilation of lxml through pip, install the libxml2-dev and libxslt-dev packages on your system.

Usage

from tpb import TPB
from tpb import CATEGORIES, ORDERS

t = TPB('https://thepiratebay.org') # create a TPB object with default domain

# search for 'public domain' in 'movies' category
search = t.search('public domain', category=CATEGORIES.VIDEO.MOVIES)

# return listings from page 2 of this search
search.page(2)

# sort this search by count of seeders, and return a multipage result
search.order(ORDERS.SEEDERS.ASC).multipage()

# search, order by seeders and return page 3 results
t.search('python').order(ORDERS.SEEDERS.ASC).page(3)

# multipage beginning on page 4
t.search('recipe book').page(4).multipage()

# search, in a category and return multipage results
t.search('something').category(CATEGORIES.OTHER.OTHER).multipage()

# get page 3 of recent torrents
t.recent().page(3)

# get top torrents in Movies category
t.top().category(CATEGORIES.VIDEO.MOVIES)

# print all torrent descriptions

Tests

Tests can be ran using tox.

$ pip install tox
$ tox

Alternatively, you will need to install dependencies manually:

$ pip install -r tests/requirements.txt

Then, to execute the tests simply run:

$ python -m unittest discover

By default the tests are ran on a local test server with predownloaded original responses. You can activate the remote running option by:

$ REMOTE=true python -m unittest discover
