Installation

$ pip install pypartpicker

Note

Due to pyppeteer your first use of the library may install a chromium browser for JS rendering.

This is only done once. If you would like to disable this feature entirely, use the no_js=True option in the Client constructor.

Examples

Fetch a product:

import pypartpicker

pcpp = pypartpicker.Client()
part = pcpp.get_part("https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fN88TW")

for spec, value in part.specs.items():
    print(f"{spec}: {value}")

print(part.cheapest_price)

Search parts with pagination:

import pypartpicker

pcpp = pypartpicker.Client()
page = 1

while True:
    result = pcpp.get_part_search("ryzen 5", region="uk", page=page)

    for part in result.parts:
        print(part.name)

    page += 1
    if page > result.total_pages:
        break

Fetch a product (async):

import pypartpicker
import asyncio


async def get_parts():
    async with pypartpicker.AsyncClient() as pcpp:
        part = await pcpp.get_part("https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fN88TW")

    for spec, value in part.specs.items():
        print(f"{spec}: {value}")


asyncio.run(get_parts())

Proxy rotation w/ response_retriever override:

import pypartpicker
import requests_html # requires requests-html and pysocks to be installed
from itertools import cycle

# replace with own list of proxies
list_proxy = [
    "socks5://Username:Password@IP1:20000",
    "socks5://Username:Password@IP2:20000",
    "socks5://Username:Password@IP3:20000",
    "socks5://Username:Password@IP4:20000",
]

proxy_cycle = cycle(list_proxy)
session = requests_html.HTMLSession()


def response_retriever(url):
    proxy = next(proxy_cycle)
    return session.get(url, proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy})


client = pypartpicker.Client(response_retriever=response_retriever)

res = client.get_part_search("cpu")
for result in res.parts:
    part = client.get_part(result.url)
    print(part.specs)
