• torrent_link # .torrent download link
• created # uploaded date time

Tests can be ran using tox.

$ pip install tox
$ tox

Alternatively, you will need to install dependencies manually:

$ pip install -r tests/requirements.txt

Then, to execute the tests simply run:

$ python -m unittest discover

By default the tests are ran on a local test server with predownloaded original responses. You can activate the remote running option by:

$ REMOTE=true python -m unittest discover
