resume and pause with a http command

[link1423]

Hello all ,

I would likt to pause and resume sabnzb with a http command , so I can remotely pause-resume with my home automation.

I have heard this was possible, anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks,

http://host:port/sabnzbd/api?mode=queue&name=pause&value=NZO_ID

https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/api#pause

Honestly I haven't tried working the URLs yet, but I'm looking for "timeleft:" and other output arguments. So maybe.... api?mode=queue&timeleft ... (not sure if I need a "=")? Again, I haven't gotten to any of that yet, but I'll get to it. I bring that up because a lot of the query data you might want comes out of the "Full Queue output", for instance "paused":false. But, as along as "pause" -> "pause" won't resume (or "resume" -> "resume" won't pause), you shouldn't need the query data (not really).

Good morning!,

Thanks for the reply.
It is working although I needed some time to figure out how to insert this API key and how to insert the command than. But after several trial and error , I got it working.


Thanks,

For future reference:

Code: Select all

http://IPadress:8080/sabnzbd/api?output=json&apikey=123456789APIKEY123456789&mode=pause
http://IPadress:8080/sabnzbd/api?output=json&apikey=123456789APIKEY123456789&mode=resume
luup.inet.wget("http://IPadress:8080/sabnzbd/api?output=json&apikey=123456789APIKEY123456789&mode=pause")

You had to set the output?

[safihre]

Think it works without the output set.
But the first part of the api manual mentions how to place the key, isn't it clear enough?

Hello again,

I bought a new computer installed the new version of SABnzb , but I can't get this to work anymore. Anyone has an idea why?

I inserted the new ( longer) API key in this:
http://192.168.68.20:8080/sabnzbd/api?o ... mode=pause

Where 192.168.68.20 is the computer running Sabnzb. The answer in a webbrowser is: 192.168.68.20 refused to connect.

The other thing i noticed , the computer now says: http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/config/general/ where it used to say something like "localhost............
Do I need to set anything in the security TAB under "general"

Many thanks,
Cor

In that tab you should fill 0.0.0.0 for SABnzbd Host.

@ Safihre:

Thanks , I got it partially working now.
When I insert this in my broswer: http://192.168.68.20:8080/sabnzbd/api?o ... ode=resume
It is working.
When I use the below in my home automation it is not working , before , with an older version and on my older computer it was working like this. Anyhting else I need to do?
luup.inet.wget("http://192.168.68.20:8080/sabnzbd/api?o ... ode=resume")

Many thanks,
Cor

[safihre]

Is that the right IP adres in the URL (http://192.168.68.20:8080/sabnzbd/api?o ... ode=resume)?
So when you enter that from any other computer or device, it works?

Ah , I see you point .... on the local computer which runs sabnzb it works . I can not check with another computer right now , since I am working on that computer with teamviewer. Next week when I am home again I will try it with my notebook. With my homeautomation device It doesn't work.

Back in a week :-)

Thanks,
Cor
