Retrieve data from BrickSet.com

Brickse

The brickse library provides a collection of utilities to retrieve various data from BrickSet.com bricks repository. It can be used either as a simple tool, which reads requested data and converts them into easy-access custom classes or by using the API directly to allow handling the HTTPResponse in whatever way you want.

Please see the examples folder or in-code documentation of classes and functions to learn more about the brickse library capabilities as well as the original documentation of the BrickSet API.

Tool Example

import brickse

# init Brickse tool
bs = brickse.Brickse("your_API_KEY_here", "your_USER_TOKEN_here", silent=True)

# get set info
data = bs.get_set(set_number=6608)
print(data)

# if user token is not provided on init you can get it later to access user data
bs.login("your_username_here", "your_password_here")

# get user sets
data = bs.get_users_sets(owned=True)
print(data)

API Example

import brickse
import json

# init brickse module for general reading
brickse.init("your_API_KEY_here")

# get set info
response = brickse.lego.get_set(set_number=6608)
print(json.loads(response.read()))

# init brickse module including user reading
brickse.init("your_API_KEY_here", "your_USER_TOKEN_here")

# if you don't know the user token you can use your login credentials
brickse.init("your_API_KEY_here", "your_username_here", "your_password_here")
