Basic Usage¶

import compuglobal

simpsons = compuglobal.Frinkiac()

# Random
screencap = simpsons.get_random_screencap()

# Search
screencap = simpsons.search_for_screencap('nothing at all')

# Images/Gifs
image = screencap.get_meme_url()
gif = screencap.get_gif_url()

Async Usage¶

import asyncio

import compuglobal


async def main():
    simpsons = compuglobal.Frinkiac()

    # Random
    screencap = await simpsons.get_random_screencap()

    # Search
    screencap = await simpsons.search_for_screencap('nothing at all')

    # Images/Gifs
    image = screencap.get_meme_url()
    gif = await screencap.get_gif_url()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

What’s New¶

0.2.7 - Breaking changes

These changes are intended to provide more flexibility in the formatting of captions:

Added format_caption() method to CompuGlobalAPI objects. This replaces the formatting logic previously within the encode_caption() method. The encode_caption() method now only takes a caption parameter.
Captions will no longer be formatted and shortened before generation of memes, gifs, and mp4 urls if a caption is given. Behaviour remains the same if no caption is given or if format_caption() is used on the caption beforehand.

0.2.1 - Breaking Changes

Added Frame object: search(), get_frames() and get_nearby_frames() now all return a list of Frame objects instead of the json response.

Before:

search_results = simpsons.search('stupid sexy flanders')
top_result = search_results[0]
screencap = simpsons.get_screencap(top_result['Episode'],
                                   top_result['Timestamp'])

After:

search_results = simpsons.search('stupid sexy flanders')
top_result = search_results[0]
screencap = simpsons.get_screencap(top_result.key,
                                   top_result.timestamp)
