Here is the API stuff, if you are interested:
https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/client_api.html
There are links to several libraries, and a nice python interface that makes it easier. The API isn't 'complete' by any means, but I am slowly adding more to it.
I was just told about this module, which I will be adding to the page for next week:

If you get into it, let me know if you run into any trouble.
