ds-down is a Python 3 program to send URLs and local files to Synology DownloadStation using aforementioned DownloadStations Web API (API pdf).

The main intended use-case is from console and a desktop file for xdg-open or similar tools is provided.

Example config file:

# Example config file, by default it should be located at:
# ~/.config/ds-down.conf

username     = admin
host         = https://192.168.1.10:5001
passwordeval = gpg --no-tty -d ~/.passwords/synology-admin.gpg

Send a magnet link to the DownloadStation:

$ ds-down 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:dbd7d976a5bf566504357bf9f543a37d3513e4df&dn=archlinux-2014.07.03-dual.iso&tr=udp://tracker.archlinux.org:6969&tr=http://tracker.archlinux.org:6969/announce'

Send a locally stored torrent file to the DownloadStation:

$ ds-down 'archlinux-2014.07.03-dual.iso.torrent'

Example of a simple user install with from source:

python3 setup.py install --exec_name="ds_down" --user

The executable console script name can be controlled with the ´--exec_name=´ argument. The default is ´ds_down´. The executable script in this example is placed in ´$HOME/.local/bin´ which can be added to the PATH variable if needed. This also installs needed dependencies.

Alternatively last published version can be installed from PyPI with pip:

pip3 install --user ds-down
