How do I use the application programming interface (API)

The lightspeedpy API can be accessed by importing lightspeedpy as a Python module. All the command line tools of lightspeedpy are available there as python functions. This API is particularly useful if you wish to make your own lightspeedpy plugins, or perform complex tasks which aren’t covered by the existing plugins. The API is documented here:

• Lightspeedpy API

For examples, look at the code for the plugins lightspeedpy already provides. They use the lightspeedpy API, and you can copy their own style to make your own tools. If you would like to make your own plugin, see the How to contribute to Lightspeedpy page.
