Two tools for interacting with Habitica:
- Python wrapper for the RESTful Habitica API (
habitica.api) - Command-line interface with subcommands (e.g.
> habitica todos)
pip install habitica.
I push to pip fairly frequently, but if you'd like to be on the bleeding edge, clone this project and install it by hand:
> git clone https://github.com/philadams/habitica
> pip install -e habitica
You'll need to let the tool know how to connect to your Habitica account. To do
this, you'll need to add the following credentials section in the file
~/.config/habitica/auth.cfg (you may need to create the folder(s) and file):
[Habitica]
url = https://habitica.com
login = USER_ID
password = API_KEY
There's a template for this file at auth.cfg.sample.
Replace USER_ID and API_KEY with the corresponding tokens from your Habitica settings>API page.
You can replace url as needed, for example if you're self-hosting a Habitica
server.
Lastly, remember to chmod 600 ~/.config/habitica/auth.cfg to keep your
credentials secret.
