Using qobuz-dl as a module is really easy. Basically, the only thing you need is QobuzDL from core.
import logging
from qobuz_dl.core import QobuzDL
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
email = "your@email.com"
password = "your_password"
qobuz = QobuzDL()
qobuz.get_tokens() # get 'app_id' and 'secrets' attrs
qobuz.initialize_client(email, password, qobuz.app_id, qobuz.secrets)
qobuz.handle_url("https://play.qobuz.com/album/va4j3hdlwaubc")Attributes, methods and parameters have been named as self-explanatory as possible.
