An unofficial Aternos API written in Python.  
It uses [aternos](https://aternos.org/)' private API and html parsing.

> [!WARNING]
>
> This library is no longer maintained, because:
> 1. Aternos started detecting all automated requests (and, therefore, ToS violations)
> via JS code in `AJAX_TOKEN` which is executed incorrectly in Js2Py and
> requires a NodeJS DOM library (at least) or a browser engine.
> For details, see [#85](https://github.com/DarkCat09/python-aternos/issues/85).
> 2. Aternos frontend is protected with Cloudflare, so this library fails to parse pages
> in case of, for example, blocked or suspicious IP address (e.g. web hosting).
> CF shows IUAM page, often with captcha. We need a browser engine like undetected-chromedriver and an AI or a man solving captchas.
> 3. Last Aternos API update broke nearly everything.
> 4. I have no more motivation and not enough time to work on this, nor need in using Aternos.
>
> I'm so sorry. If you want to continue development of python-aternos,
> [contact me](https://url.dc09.ru/contact), but I think it's better to write from scratch.

Python Aternos supports:

- Logging in to account with password (plain or hashed) or `ATERNOS_SESSION` cookie value
 - Saving session to the file and restoring
 - Changing username, email and password
 - Parsing Minecraft servers list
 - Parsing server info by its ID
 - Starting/stoping server, restarting, confirming/cancelling launch
 - Updating server info in real-time (see [WebSocket API](https://python-aternos.codeberg.page/howto/websocket))
 - Changing server subdomain and MOTD (message-of-the-day)
 - Managing files, settings, players (whitelist, operators, etc.)

## Install

### Common
```bash
$ pip install python-aternos
```
> **Note** for Windows users
>
> Install `lxml` package from [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml)
> if you have problems with it, and then execute:  
> `pip install --no-deps python-aternos`

### Development
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/DarkCat09/python-aternos.git
$ cd python-aternos
$ pip install -e .[dev]
```

## Usage
To use Aternos API in your Python script, import it
and login with your username and password or its MD5 hash.

Then request the servers list using `list_servers()`.  
You can start/stop your Aternos server, calling `start()` or `stop()`.

Here is an example how to use the API:
```python
# Import
from python_aternos import Client

# Create object
atclient = Client()

# Log in
# with username and password
atclient.login('example', 'test123')
# ----OR----
# with username and MD5 hashed password
atclient.login_hashed('example', 'cc03e747a6afbbcbf8be7668acfebee5')
# ----OR----
# with session cookie
atclient.login_with_session('ATERNOS_SESSION cookie value')

# Get AternosAccount object
aternos = atclient.account

# Get servers list
servs = aternos.list_servers()

# Get the first server
myserv = servs[0]

# Start
myserv.start()
# Stop
myserv.stop()

# You can also find server by IP
testserv = None
for serv in servs:
    if serv.address == 'test.aternos.org':
        testserv = serv

if testserv is not None:
    # Prints the server software and its version
    # (for example, "Vanilla 1.12.2")
    print(testserv.software, testserv.version)
    # Starts server
    testserv.start()
```

## Reversed API Specification
Private Aternos API requests were captured into
[this HAR file](https://github.com/DarkCat09/python-aternos/blob/main/aternos.har)
and were imported to
[a Postman Workspace](https://www.postman.com/darkcat09/workspace/aternos-api).  
You can use both resources to explore the API.  
Any help with improving this library is welcome.
