Little asynchronous client for *Paperless-ngx*, written in Python. You should at least use Python `>=3.12`.

## Features

- Depends on aiohttp, works in async environments.
- Token authentication preferred (credentials possible using a URL like https://user:pass@example.com)
- Request single resource items.
- Iterate over all resource items or request them page by page.
- Create, update and delete resource items.
- Add, remove and update custom fields on documents.
- Almost feature complete.
- **pypaperless** is designed to transport data only. Your code must organize it.

## Compatibility matrix

Choosing the right version of **pypaperless** for your *Paperless-ngx* instance can be tricky. This little matrix is here to help.

| **pypaperless** | *Paperless-ngx* |
| --------------- | --------------- |
| >= 5.2          | >= 2.19         |
| >= 5.1          | >= 2.17         |
| >= 5.0          | >= 2.17         |
| >= 4.1          | >= 2.16         |
| >= 4.0          | >= 2.15         |
| < 4.0           | < 2.15          |

* **pypaperless** `<4.0` is not compatible with *Paperless-ngx* `>=2.15` due to breaking server changes.
* **pypaperless** `>=5.0` implements date changes in the document API and is therefore not compatible with *Paperless-ngx* `<2.17`.
* **pypaperless** `>=5.1` will drop support for all *Paperless-ngx* versions without the Open API schema, introduced in `2.15`.
* **pypaperless** `>=5.2` utilizes API models and data which is available as of *Paperless-ngx* `>=2.19`.

Consider keeping both *Paperless-ngx* and **pypaperless** always updated.
