WebsiteDataManager#

Added in version 2.10.

class WebsiteDataManager(**properties: Any)#

Superclasses: Object

Manages data stored locally by web sites.

You can use WebKitWebsiteDataManager to configure the local directories where website data will be stored. Use WebsiteDataManager:base-data-directory and WebsiteDataManager:base-cache-directory set a common base directory for all website data and caches.

A WebKitWebsiteDataManager can be ephemeral, in which case all the directory configuration is not needed because website data will never persist. You can create an ephemeral WebKitWebsiteDataManager with webkit_website_data_manager_new_ephemeral().

WebKitWebsiteDataManager can also be used to fetch website data, remove data stored by particular websites, or clear data for all websites modified since a given period of time.

Methods#

class WebsiteDataManager
clear(types: WebsiteDataTypes, timespan: int, cancellable: Cancellable | None = None, callback: Callable[[Object | None, AsyncResult, Any], None] | None = None, user_data: Any = None) → None#

Asynchronously clear the website data of the given types modified in the past timespan.

If timespan is 0, all website data will be removed.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call clear_finish() to get the result of the operation.

Due to implementation limitations, this function does not currently delete any stored cookies if timespan is nonzero. This behavior may change in the future.

Added in version 2.16.

Parameters:

  • types – WebsiteDataTypes

  • timespan – a TimeSpan

  • cancellable – a Cancellable or None to ignore

  • callback – a AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied

  • user_data – the data to pass to callback function

clear_finish(result: AsyncResult) → bool#

Finish an asynchronous operation started with clear()

Added in version 2.16.

Parameters:

result – a AsyncResult

fetch(types: WebsiteDataTypes, cancellable: Cancellable | None = None, callback: Callable[[Object | None, AsyncResult, Any], None] | None = None, user_data: Any = None) → None#

Asynchronously get the list of WebsiteData for the given types.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call fetch_finish() to get the result of the operation.

Added in version 2.16.

Parameters:

  • types – WebsiteDataTypes

  • cancellable – a Cancellable or None to ignore

  • callback – a AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied

  • user_data – the data to pass to callback function

fetch_finish(result: AsyncResult) → list[WebsiteData]#

Finish an asynchronous operation started with fetch().

Added in version 2.16.

Parameters:

result – a AsyncResult

get_base_cache_directory() → str | None#

Get the WebsiteDataManager:base-cache-directory property.

Added in version 2.10.

get_base_data_directory() → str | None#

Get the WebsiteDataManager:base-data-directory property.

Added in version 2.10.

get_favicon_database() → FaviconDatabase | None#

Get the FaviconDatabase of manager.

Added in version 2.40.

get_favicons_enabled() → bool#

Get whether website icons are enabled.

Added in version 2.40.

get_itp_summary(cancellable: Cancellable | None = None, callback: Callable[[Object | None, AsyncResult, Any], None] | None = None, user_data: Any = None) → None#

Asynchronously get the list of ITPThirdParty seen for manager.

Every ITPThirdParty contains the list of ITPFirstParty under which it has been seen.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call get_itp_summary_finish() to get the result of the operation.

Added in version 2.30.

Parameters:

  • cancellable – a Cancellable or None to ignore

  • callback – a AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied

  • user_data – the data to pass to callback function

get_itp_summary_finish(result: AsyncResult) → list[ITPThirdParty]#

Finish an asynchronous operation started with get_itp_summary().

Added in version 2.30.

Parameters:

result – a AsyncResult

is_ephemeral() → bool#

Get whether a WebsiteDataManager is ephemeral.

See WebsiteDataManager:is-ephemeral for more details.

Added in version 2.16.

remove(types: WebsiteDataTypes, website_data: list[WebsiteData], cancellable: Cancellable | None = None, callback: Callable[[Object | None, AsyncResult, Any], None] | None = None, user_data: Any = None) → None#

Asynchronously removes the website data in the given website_data list.

Asynchronously removes the website data of the given types for websites in the given website_data list. Use clear() if you want to remove the website data for all sites.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call remove_finish() to get the result of the operation.

Added in version 2.16.

Parameters:

  • types – WebsiteDataTypes

  • website_data – a List of WebsiteData

  • cancellable – a Cancellable or None to ignore

  • callback – a AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied

  • user_data – the data to pass to callback function

remove_finish(result: AsyncResult) → bool#

Finish an asynchronous operation started with remove().

Added in version 2.16.

Parameters:

result – a AsyncResult

set_favicons_enabled(enabled: bool) → None#

Set whether website icons are enabled. Website icons are disabled by default. When website icons are disabled, the FaviconDatabase of manager is closed and its reference removed, so get_favicon_database() will return None. If website icons are enabled again, a new FaviconDatabase will be created.

Added in version 2.40.

Parameters:

enabled – value to set
