qBittorrent v2 API client

Implements almost all of the methods of the current (v2.8.3) qBittorrent WebUI API.

Disclaimer: not all of the API methods have been tested.

Installation

npm install @robertklep/qbittorrent

Examples

Instantiating

TypeScript:

import { qBittorrentClient } from '@robertklep/qbittorrent';

const client = new qBittorrentClient('http://127.0.0.1:8080', 'username', 'password');

JavaScript:

const { qBittorrentClient } = require('@robertklep/qbittorrent');

const client = new qBittorrentClient('http://127.0.0.1:8080', 'username', 'password');

There is no need to explicitly call client.auth.login(), the client will log in automatically on the first API call.

Getting the server version

const info = await client.app.version();

Adding torrents

Add a single torrent by URL:

const res = await client.torrents.add('https://distrowatch.com/dwres/torrents/xubuntu-20.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent');

// also works for Magnet URI's
const res = await client.torrents.add('magnet:?xt=urn:btih:dd8255ecdc7ca55fb0bbf81323d87062db1f6d1c&dn=Big+Buck+Bunny&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexplodie.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.empire-js.us%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.btorrent.xyz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.fastcast.nz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openwebtorrent.com&ws=https%3A%2F%2Fwebtorrent.io%2Ftorrents%2F&xs=https%3A%2F%2Fwebtorrent.io%2Ftorrents%2Fbig-buck-bunny.torrent')

Add multiple torrents by URL:

const res = await client.torrents.add([
  'https://distrowatch.com/dwres/torrents/xubuntu-20.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent',
  'https://distrowatch.com/dwres/torrents/ubuntu-budgie-20.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent'
]);

Add by file contents:

import { qBittorrentClient, TorrentAddParameters } from '@robertklep/qbittorrent';
import { readFile }                   from 'fs/promises';

const res = await client.torrents.add(<TorrentAddParameters>{
  torrents: { // TorrentFile[] | TorrentFile
    buffer : await readFile('xubuntu-20.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent')
  },
  // start this torrent in a paused state (see Torrent type for options)
  paused: true
});

Searching torrents

(your qBittorrent installation needs to support search for this to work)

const wait = (ms : number) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms));

// start a search
const id = await client.search.start('linux');

// run the search for 20 seconds, check status every second
for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
  const { status, total } = await client.search.status(id) as TorrentSearchStatus;
  console.log(`Status: ${ status }, total number of results so far: ${ total }`);
  await wait(1000);
}

// retrieve the results
console.log( await client.search.results(id) );

// delete the search
await client.search.delete(id);

Documentation

The structure of this module follows the structure and naming of the qBittorrent WebUI API methods.

For example, the Authentication login method is accessible as client.auth.login()

Methods

Most methods that accept parameters that are either a single ór multiple values, like hashes, will accept both strings and arrays of strings. When passing as a string, make sure you use the correct separator when passing multiple values (usually |), or just pass the values as an array and the client will take care of concatenating the values properly.

All methods are async (return a Promise) and will thrown an error when the backend returns an non-200 status code. Please refer to the WebUI API documentation for full explanation of every method and their parameters.
