README

ejabberdctl.py provides Python client for Ejabberd XML-RPC Administration API.

Installation

pip install ejabberdctl.py

git clone https://gitlab.com/markuz/ejabberdctl.py.git ejabberdctlpy
cd ejabberdctlpy
python setup.py install

Usage

Simple example which displays Ejabberd status (assuming that XML-RPC runs on 127.0.0.1 and port 4560):

from ejabberdctl import ejabberdctl

host = 'example.com'
username = 'admin'
password = 'admin'

ejabberdctl = ejabberdctl(host, username, password)
print ejabberdctl.status()

The same example with custom setting of XML-RPC server:

from ejabberdctl import ejabberdctl

host = 'example.com'
username = 'admin'
password = 'admin'

ejabberdctl = ejabberdctl(host, username, password,
                          protocol='https', server=host, port=4560,
                          admin=True, verbose=True)
print ejabberdctl.status()

Host vs Server

host is the domain served by Ejabberd (ie. one of your hosts defined in ejabberd.yml).

server is the server IP where Ejabberd runs the XML-RPC module. Typically it is configured to run on 127.0.0.1 (localhost) on port 4560.
