Installation

You can install alpha-id-py using pip:

pip install alpha-id-py

Getting Started

Simple usage looks like this:

from alpha_id.alpha_id import AlphaID

alpha_id = AlphaID()

encoded_string = alpha_id.convert(258456357951)
print(encoded_string)
# Output: '4y7exoH'

original_number = alpha_id.recover('4y7exoH')
print(original_number)
# Output: 258456357951

Configuring a Global Key

You can set a global key that will be used for encoding and decoding if no specific key is provided. This can be done using the config method:

from alpha_id.alpha_id import AlphaID

alpha_id = AlphaID()
alpha_id.config('my_key')

encoded_string = alpha_id.convert(258456357951)
print(encoded_string)
# Output: '4ymMZq9'

original_number = alpha_id.recover('4ymMZq9')
print(original_number)
# Output: 258456357951
