  • Using as tor a library
    4 projects | /r/TOR | 24 Mar 2022
    However I want to use it as a 'library' not as a 'binary' like what the tor-android (TorService.java) and libtor-go does.
  • Embedding Tor into an application without external installation.
    2 projects | /r/TOR | 19 Apr 2021
    https://github.com/ipsn/go-libtor and https://github.com/cretz/bine are excellent libraries to get you started. They do exactly what you are asking.
  • Create Tor hidden service using only python or nodeJS
    1 project | /r/TOR | 30 Jan 2021
    I don't know about python or node, but there is this project (https://github.com/ipsn/go-libtor) that is a fully Golang library for interacting with Tor without the tor daemon from the OS repos. Golang has python and NodeJS bindings so you could use a Golang program as a the glue code between the python/node pieces and Tor.
