Chaturbate Poller

Chaturbate Poller is an asynchronous Python library designed to interface with the Chaturbate API.

Key Features

• Error Management: Implements error handling and retry logic to manage network inconsistencies.
• Configurable Logging: Detailed logging mechanisms for debugging and monitoring the poller's operations.
• Data Persistence: Integrates with InfluxDB for storing event data, enabling further analysis and monitoring.

Installation

Ensure Python 3.8+ is installed, then run:

pip install chaturbate-poller

Configuration

Create a .env file at the root with the necessary environment variables:

CB_USERNAME="your_chaturbate_username"
CB_TOKEN="your_chaturbate_token"
USE_DATABASE="true"
INFLUXDB_URL="http://influxdb:8086"
INFLUXDB_TOKEN="your_influxdb_token"
INFLUXDB_ORG="chaturbate-poller"
INFLUXDB_BUCKET="your_bucket"
INFLUXDB_INIT_MODE="setup"
INFLUXDB_INIT_USERNAME="admin"
INFLUXDB_INIT_PASSWORD="changeme"
INFLUXDB_INIT_ORG="chaturbate-poller"
INFLUXDB_INIT_BUCKET="my-bucket"

Usage

The Chaturbate Poller can be used both as a library and a CLI tool. Below is an example of how to use it as a library to fetch events:

import asyncio
from chaturbate_poller.chaturbate_client import ChaturbateClient

async def main():
    async with ChaturbateClient('your_username', 'your_token') as client:
        events = await client.fetch_events()
        for event in events:
            print(event)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

CLI Usage

python -m chaturbate_poller --username <your_username> --token <your_token>

Docker Usage

To run using Docker, pull the latest Docker image and run:

docker pull ghcr.io/mountaingod2/chaturbate_poller:latest
docker run \
  -e CB_USERNAME="your_chaturbate_username" \
  -e CB_TOKEN="your_chaturbate_api_token" \
  -e INFLUXDB_URL="http://influxdb:8086" \
  -e INFLUXDB_TOKEN="your_influxdb_token" \
  -e INFLUXDB_ORG="chaturbate-poller" \
  -e INFLUXDB_BUCKET="my-bucket" \
  -v /opt/chaturbate_poller:/app \ # Log storage only
  ghcr.io/mountaingod2/chaturbate_poller:latest --testbed
