| 3 | +`schnee` is a Python package and CLI for working with NFC/RFID tags through a PC/SC |
| 4 | +reader, with a current focus on NTAG profile inspection and NDEF URL writes. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## Installation |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Install the package from PyPI: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +```bash |
| 11 | +pip install schnee |
| 12 | +``` |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Requirements |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +`schnee` talks to tags through PC/SC, so practical use requires: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- a compatible NFC or smart card reader |
| 19 | +- a working PC/SC stack on the host system |
| 20 | +- access to the target tag |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +If the PC/SC stack or reader is not available, CLI commands that access hardware |
| 23 | +will fail during reader discovery or card communication. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## CLI Usage |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +After installation, the `schnee` command is available on your `PATH`. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Show the top-level help: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```bash |
| 32 | +schnee --help |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +List selectable backends and detected PC/SC readers: |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```bash |
| 38 | +schnee backends |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Read the current NTAG profile as JSON: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```bash |
| 44 | +schnee ntag read --backend pcsc |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Use a specific reader by name: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +```bash |
| 50 | +schnee ntag read --backend "pcsc:ACS ACR1252 1S CL Reader PICC 0" |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Write a URL as a single NDEF URI record: |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +```bash |
| 56 | +schnee ntag write-url --backend pcsc --url "https://example.com" |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +For NTAG 424 DNA tags that require application authentication before writing, |
| 60 | +provide the current 16-byte AES key as 32 hex characters: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +```bash |
| 63 | +schnee ntag write-url \ |
| 64 | + --backend pcsc \ |
| 65 | + --url "https://example.com" \ |
| 66 | + --ntag424-master-key-hex 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff |
| 67 | +``` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## Python API |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +The stable Python entry points currently exposed by the package are the service |
| 72 | +classes re-exported from `schnee.services`. For example, you can list the |
| 73 | +selectable backends from Python: |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +```python |
| 76 | +from schnee.services import ListBackendNamesService |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +backends = ListBackendNamesService.call(ListBackendNamesService.Request()) |
| 79 | +print(backends) |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +This call uses the same backend discovery as `schnee backends`, so it also |
| 83 | +depends on a working PC/SC environment when the PC/SC backend is enabled. |
