# tika-app-python

## Overview

tika-app-python is a wrapper for [Apache Tika App](https://tika.apache.org/).
With this library you can analyze:
 - file on disk
 - payload in base64
 - file object (like standard input)

To use file object function you should use Apache Tika version >= 1.17.

### Apache 2 Open Source License
tika-app-python can be downloaded, used, and modified free of charge. It is available under the Apache 2 license.

## Installation

Clone repository

```
git clone https://github.com/fedelemantuano/tika-app-python.git
```

and install tika-app-python with `setup.py`:

```
cd tika-app-python

python setup.py install
```

or use `pip`:

```
pip install tika-app
```

## Usage in a project

Import `TikaApp` class:

```
from tikapp import TikaApp

tika_client = TikaApp(file_jar="/opt/tika/tika-app-1.18.jar")
```

For get **content type**:

```
tika_client.detect_content_type("your_file")
```

For detect **language**:

```
tika_client.detect_language("your_file")
```

For detect **all metadata and content**:

```
tika_client.extract_all_content("your_file")
```

For detect **only content**:

```
tika_client.extract_only_content("your_file")
```

For detect **only metadata**:

```
tika_client.extract_only_metadata("your_file")
```

You can analyze payload in base64 with the same methods, but passing `payload` argument:

```
tika_client.detect_content_type(payload="base64_payload")
tika_client.detect_language(payload="base64_payload")
tika_client.extract_all_content(payload="base64_payload")
tika_client.extract_only_content(payload="base64_payload")
tika_client.extract_only_metadata(payload="base64_payload")
```

or you can analyze file object (like standard input) with the same methods, but passing `objectInput` argument:

```
tika_client.detect_language(objectInput="objectInput")
tika_client.extract_all_content(objectInput="objectInput")
tika_client.extract_only_content(objectInput="objectInput")
tika_client.extract_only_metadata(objectInput="objectInput")
```

## Usage from command-line

If you installed tika-app-python with `pip` or `setup.py` you can use it with command-line.
To use tika-app-python you should submit the Apache Tika app JAR. You can:
 - set the enviroment value `TIKA_APP_JAR`
 - use `--jar` switch

The last one overwrite all the others.

These are all swithes:

```
usage: tikapp [-h] (-f FILE | -p PAYLOAD | -k) [-j JAR] [-d] [-t] [-l]
                   [-m] [-a] [-v]

Wrapper for Apache Tika App.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE  File to submit (default: None)
  -p PAYLOAD, --payload PAYLOAD
                        Base64 payload to submit (default: None)
  -k, --stdin           Enable parsing from stdin (default: False)
  -j JAR, --jar JAR     Apache Tika app JAR (default: None)
  -d, --detect          Detect document type (default: False)
  -t, --text            Output plain text content (default: False)
  -l, --language        Output only language (default: False)
  -m, --metadata        Output only metadata (default: False)
  -a, --all             Output metadata and content from all embedded files
                        (default: False)
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
```

Example from file on disk:

```shell
$ tikapp -f example_file -a
```

Example from standard input

```shell
$ tikapp -a -k < example_file
```
