This is a wrapper for the sponsorblock api, enabling you to get the timestamps of sponsor segments from Youtube videos.

## Installation

```bash
# using this gitea repository (recommended)
pip install --index-url https://gitea.elara.ws/api/packages/music-kraken/pypi/simple/ python-sponsorblock
```

```bash
# using pip
pip install python-sponsorblock
```

## Why does this exist?

I decided against using the already existing [sponsorblock.py](https://github.com/wasi-master/sponsorblock.py) for one main reason. It sometimes throws exceptions that do not belong to the project itself. An example for this are request exceptions. This is fine, but it shows a diverging philosophy from what I want to achieve with this project. I want to have an wrapper that just gets all data it can in a structured way. I don't want a library that does the requests for you, I want a library that gives you the data. **I want to stress, this is not an attack on the [sponsorblock.py](https://github.com/wasi-master/sponsorblock.py) project, it is just a different approach.** My other "_issue_" with the [sponsorblock.py](https://github.com/wasi-master/sponsorblock.py) project is, that it is way to complex. Thus fixing it would require more time than implementing the functionality I need from scratch.

I decided to catch all necessary exceptions, that cant be handled and either throw an exception inheriting from one base exception or return empty data.

## Usage

Every relevant function can be found in the `Sponsorblock` class.

```python
from python_sponsorblock import SponsorBlock
import requests

# all arguments are optional and are set to the default values in this example
sb = SponsorBlock(
    session=requests.Session(),    # a requests session object
    silent=False,    # throw exceptions or return empty data
    base_url="https://sponsor.ajay.app",    # the url of the sponsorblock api, make sure there is no trailing slash
)

print(sb.get_segments("https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=w5GmDRW975g"))
```

You can import all of the exceptions that can be thrown like this:

```python
from python_sponsorblock import exceptions
```

### Get the Data

Because I don't need much functionality, I havent implemented a lot of api requests. The following list contains every function, that I plan to implement:

- [x] Get Segments

If you need more functionality, just raise an issue or create a pull request. Here is an [overview for all api endpoints I could write wrappers for](https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/API_Docs).

Every function that requires a video id as input, can also take a full url as input. The function will extract the video id from the url.

#### Get Segments

This function gets all segments of a video.

```python
from python_sponsorblock import SponsorBlock, constants
from python_sponsorblock.constants import Segment

sb = SponsorBlock()
segments: List[Segment] = sb.get_segments("https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=w5GmDRW975g")
```

### Data Objects

All Data Classes, Enums and simmilar objects can be found in the `constants` module.

```python
from python_sponsorblock import constants
```

#### Segment

This is most arguably the most important object in this library. It represents a segment of a video that is a sponsor segment.

```python
from python_sponsorblock.exceptions import Segment, Category, ActionType

Segment(
    UUID="uuid",
    segment=(0.0, 10.0),
    category=Category.SPONSOR,
    videoDuration=100.0,
    actionType=ActionType.SKIP,
    locked=0,
    votes=10,
    description="This is a sponsor segment"
)
```

#### Enums (Types)

The enums are just representations of the types that are used in the sponsorblock api. This is the [official documentation of the sponsor block types](https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Types).
