OpenShock Python []()

Unofficial, lightweight helper for the OpenShock API. Designed to be easy to use for anyone, with optional advanced controls for developers.

What this project offers

• Simple Python client to list devices/shockers and send actions (shock, vibrate, beep).
• Optional CLI for quick checks without writing code.
• Keeps your API key in memory only; the CLI can store it securely via your system keyring.

License TL;DR (see full LICENSE.md for complete terms)

• Free for non-commercial, ethical use; you may study, modify, and share it.
• You can include it in other open-source projects as a separate library component.
• You must share source code for adaptations you distribute.
• No commercial use, monetization, or commercial AI training without a separate license.
• Adaptations must keep this license (unless used as a distinct component as allowed in Section 6A).

Quick start (Python)

1. Install the library:

   pip install Nanashi-OpenShockPY
   

2. Get your OpenShock API key from your account dashboard.

3. Create a client with a User-Agent and your API key:

   from OpenShockPY import OpenShockClient, OpenShockPYError
   
   client = OpenShockClient(
       api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
       user_agent="YourAppName/YourAppVersion",
   )
   

4. List devices or send an action:

   print(client.list_devices())
   client.shock("YOUR_SHOCKER_ID", intensity=50, duration=1000)
   
   # Or send to all shockers at once using "all" as the shocker ID
   client.shock("all", intensity=50, duration=1000)
   # Alternatively, use the explicit *_all methods
   client.shock_all(intensity=50, duration=1000)
   

5. (Optional) Use as a context manager for automatic cleanup:

   with OpenShockClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", user_agent="YourAppName/YourAppVersion") as client:
       client.list_devices()
   # Session is automatically closed when the block exits
   

   Note: The client also cleans up automatically when garbage collected, so the context manager is optional.

Optional CLI (no coding needed)

Install with CLI support:

pip install "Nanashi-OpenShockPY[cli]"

Store your API key securely, then list devices:

python -m OpenShockPY.cli login --api-key YOUR_KEY
python -m OpenShockPY.cli devices

Send a command (use a shocker ID, not a device ID):

python -m OpenShockPY.cli shock --shocker-id YOUR_SHOCKER_ID --intensity 40 --duration 1500

Or send a command to all shockers at once:

python -m OpenShockPY.cli shock --shocker-id all --intensity 40 --duration 1500

The CLI automatically sets an appropriate User-Agent.

Async client (opt-in)

If you prefer non-blocking operation, there is an experimental asynchronous client available: AsyncOpenShockClient. Install the optional dependencies:

pip install Nanashi-OpenShockPY[async]

Usage:

import asyncio
from OpenShockPY import AsyncOpenShockClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncOpenShockClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", user_agent="YourAppName/YourAppVersion") as client:
        devices = await client.list_devices()
        await client.shock_all(intensity=50, duration=1000)

asyncio.run(main())

⚠️ Experimental / Unsupported: The AsyncOpenShockClient is an opt-in, experimental client provided for convenience. It is not officially supported or fully tested in production scenarios. Use at your own risk — APIs, behavior, or method signatures may change without notice. If stability and long-term support are required, prefer the synchronous OpenShockClient.

Installation options

• Library only (most people): pip install Nanashi-OpenShockPY
• Library + CLI extras (adds keyring): pip install "Nanashi-OpenShockPY[cli]"
• Library + Async extras (adds httpx, pytest-asyncio, respx): pip install "Nanashi-OpenShockPY[async]"
• Library + all extras: pip install "Nanashi-OpenShockPY[all]"
• Development/editable install from this repo: pip install -e . (or pip install -e ".[cli]" for CLI, pip install -e ".[all]" for all extras)
