iTunes API for python scripting

Question

I'm trying to develop some scripts for iTunes in python and actually i'm having quite a hard time getting the API information.

I'm using the win32com.client module but i would really need to get all the specifications, methods and details.

There are a few examples but I need some extra data......

thanks!!!

iTunes com interface documentation is available at http://developer.apple.com/sdk/itunescomsdk.html

I've done a google search for this, and it did not provide me with the simple URL you did. Thank you, I've been looking all over for this! – Mark Tomlin Aug 17 '11 at 06:15

BTW, Apple appears to have taken down the SDK after releasing iTunes 11 (which in turn breaks important parts of the API). – Mr Fooz Dec 03 '12 at 04:25

I know it has been a long time since this question was asked. But I find out some resource for later reference.

Run dir(my_com_client) to get a list of available methods.

The win32com wrapper dynamically dispatches methods, so the set cannot be inspected through the usual means like `dir`. – Mr Fooz Dec 03 '12 at 04:24

Here's a Python library to access iTunes API: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-itunes/1.0

The question was about the COM API used for directly controlling iTunes, while what you have linked here is a wrapper for the Store API. – heksesang Aug 19 '12 at 13:28
You're right! Still the question was: "I'm trying to develop some scripts for iTunes in python and actually i'm having quite a hard time getting the API information." The only mention that could be related to the COM API (instead of Store API) is because of: "I'm using the win32com.client module" that I didn't realize this meant he was willing to use the COM API, instead of the Store one.
