Quickstart

aMQTT is an open source MQTT client and broker implementation; these can be integrated into other projects using the appropriate APIs. To get started, three command-line scripts are also installed along with the package:

amqtt - the MQTT broker
amqtt_pub - an MQTT client to publish messages
amqtt_sub - an MQTT client to listen for messages

To install the aMQTT package:

(venv) $ pip install amqtt

Running a broker

amqtt is a command-line tool for the MQTT 3.1.1 compliant broker:

$ amqtt
[2015-11-06 22:45:16,470] :: INFO - Listener 'default' bind to 0.0.0.0:1883 (max_connections=-1)

See amqtt reference documentation for details about available options and settings.

Publishing messages

amqtt_pub is a command-line tool which can be used for publishing some messages on a topic. It requires a few arguments like broker URL, topic name, QoS and data to send. Additional options allow more complex use case.

Publishing some_data to as /test topic using a TCP connection to test.mosquitto.org:

$ amqtt_pub --url mqtt://test.mosquitto.org -t test -m some_data
[2015-11-06 22:21:55,108] :: INFO - amqtt_pub/5135-myhostname.local Connecting to broker
[2015-11-06 22:21:55,333] :: INFO - amqtt_pub/5135-myhostname.local Publishing to 'test'
[2015-11-06 22:21:55,336] :: INFO - amqtt_pub/5135-myhostname.local Disconnected from broker

Websocket connections are also supported:

$ amqtt_pub --url ws://test.mosquitto.org:8080 -t test -m some_data
[2015-11-06 22:22:42,542] :: INFO - amqtt_pub/5157-myhostname.local Connecting to broker
[2015-11-06 22:22:42,924] :: INFO - amqtt_pub/5157-myhostname.local Publishing to 'test'
[2015-11-06 22:22:52,926] :: INFO - amqtt_pub/5157-myhostname.local Disconnected from broker

Additionally, TCP connections can be secured via TLS and websockets via SSL.

amqtt_pub can read from file or stdin and use data read as message payload:

$ some_command | amqtt_pub --url mqtt://localhost -t test -l

See amqtt_pub reference documentation for details about available options and settings.

Subscribing a topic

amqtt_sub is a command-line tool which can be used to subscribe to a specific topics or a topic patterns.

Subscribe to the my/test topic and the test/# topic pattern:

$ amqtt_sub --url mqtt://localhost -t my/test -t test/#

This will run and print messages to standard output; it can be stopped by ^C.

See amqtt_sub reference documentation for details about available options and settings.

URL Scheme

aMQTT command line tools use the --url to establish a network connection with the broker. It follows Python's urlparse structure but also adds the mqtt scheme.

[mqtt|ws][s]://[username][:password]@host.domain[:port]

Here are some examples:

mqtt://localhost
mqtt://localhost:1884
mqtt://user:password@localhost
ws://test.mosquitto.org
wss://user:password@localhost
