This is a ready-to-use and async-enabled API wrapper made in Python, for Python, for the Star Citizen API made by Corentin Urbain. It features full support for dot notation and autocomplete data as well as custom data classes for ease of use.

An API wrapper can help streamline the process of accessing an API for a particular language, in this one's case, Python. The API it is accessing provides raw JSON data (depending on the queried URL) of information scraped from the official RSI website.

Here is what it looks like raw:

{"data":{"affiliation":[],"organization":{"image":"https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/uh2fvrq9575zvr/heap_infobox/INVFED-Logo.png","name":"Invictus Intergalactic Federation","rank":"Enlisted Member","sid":"INVFED","stars":1},"profile":{"badge":"Grand Admiral","badge_image":"https://media.robertsspaceindustries.com/a6kpgl3byjake/heap_thumb.png","bio":"Flippers on the HOSAS. Check out my main org INVFED!\n\nDiscord: Turtle-12#0001\n\nOrg Website: https://www.invfed.com/home\nOrg RSI Page: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/INVFED\nOrg Twitter: https://twitter.com/Official_INVFED","display":"Turtle-12","enlisted":"2021-07-30T00:00:00.000000","fluency":["English"],"handle":"Turtle-12","id":"n/a","image":"https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/xm8k6mibbrgnqr/heap_infobox/Invfed_turtle.png","location":{"country":"United States","region":"California"},"page":{"title":"Turtle-12 | Turtle-12 - Invictus Intergalactic Federation | INVFED (Enlisted Member) - Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42","url":"https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizens/Turtle-12"},"website":"https://twitter.com/invfed_turtle"}},"message":"Not Modified","source":"live","success":1}

Frankly, not very readable, maybe that's just me. The wrapper takes that raw stream and converts it into accessible and understandable formats for consumption and use. Instead of scanning the clump of letters for info, you can simply use the User object the wrapper makes to access info. Example: user.data.profile.page.url would now display the user's RSI page URL instead: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizens/Turtle-12. Dot notation or direct dictionary manipulation are acceptable forms of data access.

Anything you want to get information from the RSI site for. Ship data? Sure. User's profile picture? Yes sir. Full organization's member list? Of course. As soon as it is updated on the RSI site, it will be updated fo your application, as each parse is done to the live site. (Caching options are coming soon.)

1. Step one is getting your API key here.
2. Place it into a .env file in the main directory containing one line:

export STARCITIZEN_API_KEY = "YOUR KEY HERE"

3. Now use dotenv package to import the key into your main.py:

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

api_key = os.getenv("STARCITIZEN_API_KEY")

4. Start a client object by feeding your key into the RSI.Client class:

Client = RSI.Client(api_key)

5. You can now use any of the API methods by using dot notation:

user = Client.get_user("Turtle-12") # returns User object of Turtle-12 user page
RSI_page_link = user.data.profile.page.url # an example of accessing the data using dot notation

Will return User object of the queried user

• user: User
  • data: User_Data
    • affiliation: list of the user's affiliation orgs
    • organization User_Organization
      • image: str returns profile page org image url
      • name: str returns full org name
      • rank: str returns the user's rank in the org
      • sid: str returns the shorthand ID of the org
      • star: int returns how many "star" icons the user gets due to their org rank
    • profile: User_Profile
      • badge: str returns title of displayed badge
      • badge_image: str url of badge image
      • bio: str returns entire shorthand bio
      • display: str returns the user's RSI display name
      • enlisted: str returns str format of the date the user enlisted their RSI account
      • fluency: str returns str list of fluent languages
      • handle: str returns user's RSI handle name
      • id: str returns user account ID if applicable
      • image: str url of user's profile picture
      • location: Location
        • country: str returns user's country
        • region: str returns user's region
      • page: Page
        • title: str return full HTML page title
        • url: str return user's RSI account page url
      • website: str url of user's listed website
  • message: str returns message health
  • source: str returns the source's version (should always be 'live')
  • success: int returns binary boolean of query success (1=True & 0=False)

# query example
user = Client.get_user("Turtle-12")

# example test proof
print("----------Testing----------")
if user.success == 1:
    bool_succ = "Success"
elif user.success != 1:
    bool_succ = "Failure"
print("Success: " + bool_succ + " from " + user.source)
print("User's RSI Handle:    " + user.data.profile.display)
print("User's Organization:  " + user.data.organization.name)
print("User's RSI Page URL:  " + user.data.profile.page.url)
print("---------------------------")

This will return the following:

----------Testing----------
Success: Success from live
User's RSI Handle:    Turtle-12
User's Organization:  Invictus Intergalactic Federation
User's RSI Page URL:  https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizens/Turtle-12
---------------------------

Will return Organization object of the queried organization shorthand ID
