Quickstart Install

We recommend that you use Python 3.7 or newer, as the tool makes use of dataclasses.

It might be possible to run on 3.6 at the lowest, but you'll need to install the dataclasses backport package

Install via PyPi with Pip

python3 -m pip install -U openalias

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/Privex/openalias-py.git
cd openalias-py
# You can either use pip to install it, or setup.py
# Via pip
pip3 install .
# Via setup.py
python3 setup.py install

Usage

# You can either use the command which is supposed to be auto-installed into /usr/local/bin
# or ~/.local/bin - or you can use python3 -m openalias

# View help (independent command script)
openaliaspy --help
# View help (using the command via python module call)
python3 -m openalias --help

# Get the XMR address associated with the domain privex.io
openaliaspy get privex.io xmr

# Get JUST the LTC address on it's own associated with the domain privex.io
# (useful for programmatic use)
openaliaspy get -p privex.io ltc

# List all addresses associated with privex.io in a colourful rich table
openaliaspy list privex.io

# List the addresses and other data in plain comma-separated text
openaliaspy list -p privex.io

# Use standard DNS instead of DNS-over-HTTPs to list/get privex.io's addresses
openaliaspy -P dns list privex.io
openaliaspy -P dns get privex.io xmr

# Use a custom resolver for DNS-over-HTTPs or standard DNS
openaliaspy -P dns -r 9.9.9.9 get privex.io btc
