GitHub stars badge

Clutch is an open-source Python library for communicating over RPC with the Transmission BitTorrent client.

It’s handy for doing things like:

automating work when managing torrents
user interfaces and clients
collecting torrent stats

Installation¶

Pip¶

$ pip install transmission-clutch

Poetry¶

$ poetry add transmission-clutch

Get started¶

Import the package and make a client:

from clutch import Client
client = Client(address="http://localhost:9091/transmission/rpc")

Now issue a command to Transmission:

>>> client.torrent.accessor(fields=['id', 'files'], ids=[1]).dict(exclude_none=True)
{'result': 'success', 'arguments': {'torrents': [{'files': [{'bytes_completed': 1053440, 'length': 1053440, 'name': 'little_women/little_women.txt'}], 'id': 1}]}}
>>> client.torrent.accessor(fields=['id', 'files'], ids=[1]).json(exclude_none=True)
'{"result": "success", "arguments": {"torrents": [{"files": [{"bytes_completed": 1053440, "length": 1053440, "name": "little_women/little_women.txt"}], "id": 1}]}}'
