Python Aternos

An unofficial Aternos API written in Python.
It uses aternos' private API and html parsing.

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)
• Changing server subdomain and MOTD (message-of-the-day)
• Managing files, settings, players (whitelist, operators, etc.)

Warning

According to the Aternos' Terms of Service §5.2e, you must not use any software or APIs for automated access, beacuse they don't receive money from advertisting in this case.

I always try to hide automated python-aternos requests using browser-specific headers/cookies,
but you should make backups to restore your world if Aternos detects violation of ToS and bans your account (view issues #16 and #46).

Install

Common

$ pip install python-aternos

Note

for Windows users

Install lxml package from here if you have problems with it, and then execute:
pip install --no-deps python-aternos

Development

$ git clone https://github.com/DarkCat09/python-aternos.git
$ cd python-aternos
$ pip install -e .

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:

# Import
from python_aternos import Client

# Create object
aternos = Client()

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

# 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()
