quick start
==========
If you previously used the go package `rmapi`_ ,the keys for authorization
are re-used because we use the same storage location & format.
If not, you'll need to register the client as a new device on `my remarkable`_.
.. _my remarkable: https://my.remarkable.com/connect/remarkable
.. _rmapi: https://github.com/juruen/rmapi
Registering the API Client
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Registering the device is easy. Go to `my remarkable`_ to register a new device
and use the code you see on the webpage
.. code-block:: python
:linenos:
from rmapy.api import Client
rmapy = Client()
# Should return False
rmapy.is_auth()
# This registers the client as a new device. The received device token is
# stored in the users directory in the file ~/.rmapi, the same as with the
# go rmapi client.
rmapy.register_device("fkgzzklrs")
# It's always a good idea to renew the user token every time you start
# a new session.
rmapy.renew_token()
# Should return True
rmapy.is_auth()
Working with items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The remarkable fs structure is flat containing metadata objects of two types:
* DocumentType
* CollectionType
We can list the items in the Cloud
.. code-block:: python
:linenos:
>>> from rmapy.api import Client
>>> rmapy = Client()
>>> rmapy.renew_token()
True
>>> collection = rmapy.get_meta_items()
>>> collection
<rmapy.collections.Collection object at 0x7fa1982d7e90>
>>> len(collection)
181
>>> # Count the amount of documents
... from rmapy.document import Document
>>> len([f for f in collection if isinstance(f, Document)])
139
>>> # Count the amount of folders
... from rmapy.folder import Folder
>>> len([f for f in collection if isinstance(f, Folder)])
42
DocumentType
````````````
A DocumentType is a document. This can be a pdf, epub or notebook.
These types are represented by the object :class:`rmapy.document.Document`
Changing the metadata is easy
.. code-block:: python
:linenos:
>>> from rmapy.api import Client
>>> rmapy = Client()
>>> rmapy.renew_token()
True
>>> collection = rmapy.get_meta_items()
>>> doc = [ d for d in collection if d.VissibleName == 'ModernC'][0]
>>> doc
<rmapy.document.Document a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3>
>>> doc.to_dict()
{'ID': 'a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3', 'Version': 1, 'Message': '', 'Succes': True, 'BlobURLGet': '', 'BlobURLGetExpires': '0001-01-01T00:00:00Z', 'BlobURLPut': '', 'BlobURLPutExpires': '', 'ModifiedClient': '2019-09-18T20:12:07.206206Z', 'Type': 'DocumentType', 'VissibleName': 'ModernC', 'CurrentPage': 0, 'Bookmarked': False, 'Parent': ''}
>>> doc.VissibleName = "Modern C: The book of wisdom"
>>> # push the changes back to the Remarkable Cloud
... rmapy.update_metadata(doc)
True
>>> collection = rmapy.get_meta_items()
>>> doc = [ d for d in docs if d.VissibleName == 'ModernC'][0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of range
>>> doc = [ d for d in docs if d.VissibleName == 'Modern C: The book of wisdom'][0]
>>> doc
<rmapy.document.Document a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3>
>>> doc.to_dict()
{'ID': 'a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3', 'Version': 1, 'Message': '', 'Succes': True, 'BlobURLGet': '', 'BlobURLGetExpires': '0001-01-01T00:00:00Z', 'BlobURLPut': '', 'BlobURLPutExpires': '', 'ModifiedClient': '2019-09-18T20:12:07.206206Z', 'Type': 'DocumentType', 'VissibleName': 'Modern C: The book of wisdom', 'CurrentPage': 0, 'Bookmarked': False, 'Parent': ''}
CollectionType
``````````````
A CollectionType is a Folder.
These types are represented by the object :class:`rmapy.folder.Folder`
Working with folders is easy!
.. code-block:: python
:linenos:
>>> from rmapy.api import Client
>>> rmapy = Client()
>>> rmapy.renew_token()
True
>>> collection = rmapy.get_meta_items()
>>> collection
<rmapy.collections.Collection object at 0x7fc4718e1ed0>
>>> from rmapy.folder import Folder
>>> # Get all the folders. Note that the fs of Remarkable is flat in the cloud
... folders = [ f for f in collection if isinstance(f, Folder) ]
>>> folders
[<rmapy.folder.Folder 028400f5-b258-4563-bf5d-9a47c314668c>, <rmapy.folder.Folder 06a36729-f91e-47da-b334-dc088c1e73d2>, ...]
>>> # Get the root folders
... root = [ f for f in folders if f.Parent == "" ]
>>> root
[<rmapy.folder.Folder 028400f5-b258-4563-bf5d-9a47c314668c>, <rmapy.folder.Folder 5005a085-d7ee-4867-8859-4cd90dee0d62>, ...]
>>> # Create a new folder
... new_folder = Folder("New Folder")
>>> new_folder
<rmapy.folder.Folder 579df08d-7ee4-4f30-9994-887e6341cae3>
>>> rmapy.create_folder(new_folder)
True
>>> # verify
... [ f for f in rmapy.get_meta_items() if f.VissibleName == "New Folder" ]
[<rmapy.folder.Folder 579df08d-7ee4-4f30-9994-887e6341cae3>]
>>> [ f for f in rmapy.get_meta_items() if f.VissibleName == "New Folder" ][0].ID == new_folder.ID
True
>>> # Move a document in a folder
... doc = rmapy.get_doc("a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3")
>>> doc
<rmapy.document.Document a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3>
>>> doc.Parent = new_folder.ID
>>> # Submit the changes
... rmapy.update_metadata(doc)
True
>>> doc = rmapy.get_doc("a969fcd6-64b0-4f71-b1ce-d9533ec4a2a3")
>>> doc.Parent == new_folder.ID
True
Uploading & downloading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
reMarkable has a "special" file format for the raw documents.
This is basically a zip file with files describing the document.
Here is the content of an archive retried on the tablet as example:
* 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.content
* 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40-metadata.json
* 384326f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.pdf
* 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.pagedata
* 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.thumbnails/0.jpg
* 384327f5-133e-49c8-82ff-30aa19f3cfa40.highlights/9b75d8df-1d06-4c59-8f3e-4cf69aa96cd9.json
As the .zip file from remarkable is simply a normal .zip file
containing specific file formats.
Highlights are stored in the `{uuid}.highlights/` folder.
You can find some help about the format at the following URL:

Uploading
`````````
To upload a pdf or epub file, we'll first need to convert it into
the remarkable file format:
.. code-block:: python
:linenos:
>>> from rmapy.document import ZipDocument
>>> from rmapy.api import Client
>>> rm = Client()
>>> rm.renew_token()
True
>>> rawDocument = ZipDocument(doc="/home/svancampenhout/27-11-2019.pdf")
>>> rawDocument
<rmapy.document.ZipDocument b926ffc2-3600-460e-abfa-0fcf20b0bf99>
>>> rawDocument.metadata["VissibleName"]
'27-11-2019'
Now we can upload this to a specific folder:
.. code-block:: python
:linenos:
>>> books = [ i for i in rm.get_meta_items() if i.VissibleName == "Boeken" ][0]
>>> rm.upload(rawDocument, books)
True
And verify its existance:
.. code-block:: python
:linenos:
>>> [ i.VissibleName for i in collection.children(books) if i.Type == "DocumentType" ]
['Origin - Dan Brown', 'Flatland', 'Game Of Thrones', '27-11-2019']
