pyngrok 4.1.0

A Python wrapper for Ngrok.

pyngrok - a Python wrapper for ngrok

pyngrok is a Python wrapper for ngrok that manages its own binary and puts it on your path, making ngrok readily available from anywhere on the command line and via a convenient Python API.

ngrok is a reverse proxy tool that opens secure tunnels from public URLs to localhost, perfect for exposing local web servers, building webhook integrations, enabling SSH access, testing chatbots, demoing from your own machine, and more, made even more powerful with native Python integration through pyngrok.

Installation

pyngrok is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip:

pip install pyngrok

or conda:

conda install -c conda-forge pyngrok

That's it! pyngrok is now available as a package to our Python projects, and ngrok is now available from the command line.

Basic Usage

To open a tunnel, use the connect method, which returns the public URL generated by ngrok.

from pyngrok import ngrok

# Open a HTTP tunnel on the default port 80
public_url = ngrok.connect()
# Open a SSH tunnel
ssh_url = ngrok.connect(22, "tcp")

The connect method takes an optional options parameter, which allows us to pass additional options that are supported by ngrok.

This package puts the default ngrok binary on our path, so all features of ngrok are available on the command line.

ngrok http 80

For details on how to fully leverage ngrok from the command line, see ngrok's official documentation.
