The method logout need to be updated to use POST instead of GET.

Per qBittorrent API Docs, looks like since version 4.4.4 http status 405 is throw when wrong method is used. Seems like behavior of this call has changed since original implementation.

Hello, can we access the torrents_export function through the API or not?

It'd be very handy to have an event system which would automatically call functions on various events like on_download_started, on_download_progress, on_download_complete, on_download_error, if possible

Hey there,

I wrote a little code that would automatically download a bunch of torrents. I'm using python-qbittorrent. I was wondering is there a way I can get the download percentage as an output when a new download is started? I read the docs but I fail to find anything that would return this value.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's really strange that it always prompts me to login first.

When trying to make a local connection get this error

qb = Client('http://127.0.0.1:8080/')

ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=8080): Max retries exceeded with url: /query/preferences (Caused by NewConnectionError('<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x77148fc128>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

Do you mind adding a prerequisite section in your documentation mentioning webUI needs to be activated (how to: https://github.com/lgallard/qBittorrent-Controller/wiki/How-to-enable-the-qBittorrent-Web-UI)
?

I was having this issue and struggle for 10 min before understanding that it was not activated by default

equests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=8080): Max retries exceeded with url: /query/preferences (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fd4b0225a20>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))

with open("torrent.torrent", "rb") as f:
    qb.download_from_file(f)

works, but

with open("torrent.torrent", "rb+") as f:
    qb.download_from_file(f)

raises

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 415 Client Error: Unsupported Media Type for url

I tried to use qb.recheck(torrent['hash']) to make qBittorrent 4.1.3 do a recheck, but it didn't start checking.

To make sure I had the correct hash for the torrent, I tried to pause and resume, then recheck, all with the same hash, and I saw the torrent pause, resume, and then nothing else.

I see a lot of get_global_download_limit and set_global_download_limit.

Have you considered just making those into properties instead?

api = Client()
api.login('a', 'b')
api.global_download_limit
>>> 5 # Or whatever.

The default for the value parameter is not correct. Currently it is set to the Python Boolean True, but it should just be set to the string "true" since that is the text the setForceStart endpoint is expecting. I had to make the change in my local copy of client.py to make force_start work.

    def force_start(self, infohash_list, value=True):

should be

    def force_start(self, infohash_list, value="true"):

Hi

I modified the client to add a new method for renaming torrents.

def set_name(self, infohash, name): headers = {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'} return self._post('api/v2/torrents/rename', data={'hash': infohash.lower(),'name': name}, headers=headers)
However, I seem unable to avoid having all spaces ( ) be turned into plus signs (+).

The qBittorrent Web API documentation includes the example

hash=8c212779b4abde7c6bc608063a0d008b7e40ce32&name=This%20is%20a%20test

But using %20 does not decode to space ( ), but it includes the text '%20' in the name of the torrent.

This is my first time modifying an already existing library, so I do not know whether I'm explaining this correctly. Please forgive if not.

Is Python 3 support on the roadmap? =)

From what I can gather, it doesn't currently support Python 3 - e.g.:

In [8]: torrents = qb.torrents()

The method toggle_alternative_speed make a GET request on transfer/toggleSpeedLimitsMode where it should be a POST.

I got this error:

I have checked on the network tab on the dev console while on the web UI, this should be a POST request:

i'm running qbittorrent in a box along with couchpotato (a movies pvr). the box is running xubuntu 16.04. i have never worked with python but apparently couchpotato uses your module to talk to qbittorrent's api. everytime it tries to retrieve the list of torrents and their status, it gets error(104, 'Connection reset by peer'). it doesn't happen when there are just a few torrents in the client, but right now i have +500 of them and it has been over +1000. any input?

This is potato's error log: [.downloaders.qbittorrent_] Failed to get status from qBittorrent: ('Connection aborted.', error(104, 'Connection reset by peer'))

This wrapper only supports qBittorrent applications with version higher than 4.1.x. Please use the latest qBittorrent release.

Is there anyway to get the all time statistics?

I had my staff working with qbittorrent and python-qbittorrent, it only scrapped some website and donwload torrents of my interest. But now I'm getting this error:

his wrapper only supports qBittorrent applications
with version higher than 3.1.x.
Please use the latest qBittorrent release.

I have installed the 3.3.6 version of qbittorrent, the 2.7.11 version of python and the 0.1.8 version of python-qbittorrent. I have done serveral upgrades and downgrades but nothing seems to work for me, any idea on how can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot

i use a loop to fetch torrent again & again so that i can update speed on telegram UI but i checked the vars, and a lot of them were at 0 without any updation.

Edit : yes , was in a hurry... SO DIDNT SEE THE MOST OBVIOUS MISTAKE EVER

Qbittorrent: 4.0.4
OS: Windows 10
Python: 2.7

Downloadlist is a list populated with a few items.
Category is "Movies" in this case.
I always get into the Except-State.

`if len(Downloadlist)>0:

try:

    qb.download_from_link(Downloadlist, category=category)

    for i in Downloadlist:

        completed.append(i)

        print("Added: ", i)

except:

    print("Download could not be added to qBittorrent\n")

`

improvement proposal: there should be a way to toggle sequential download when adding torrent initially from download_from_link , like download_from_link(file, savepath, sequential=True)., like with qbit GUI client. The reason is that there is a delay when adding a torrent to download, so when download_from_link is called followed immediately with toggle_sequential_download, the torrent may not have been initialized yet, so the toggle is simply ignored.

Hi,
I can't install it directly from qBittorent doesn't start, how can I install it manually?
Thanks

Following the example labeled "Quick Usage Guide" results in an exception.
python-qbittorrent version: 0.1.4
qBittorrent version 3.1.11
requests version 2.8.1

Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

qbittorrent.client.LoginRequired: Please login first.

The Web UI is enabled in preferences, accessible with a browser and the username/password combination works in the browser. I have also tested with different passwords, and bypassing authentication for localhost. All these have the same result.

Looking at the login code, and replicating it with requests directly,

session = requests.Session()
login = session.post('http://127.0.0.1:8080/login', data={'username': 'admin', 'password': 'admin'})
print login.status_code

results in a status code of '404'. If there's more info that would be helpful, let me know.

Would be great to add file to client through api (they already support)

This functionality would be useful.

Hi!
I am trying to use this module, but it doesn't work with qBittorrent 3.3.13 on Archlinux x64. All API calls fails unless I specify referrer like this:

        self.session = requests.Session()
        header = {
            'Referer': 'http://localhost:8080'
        }
        login = self.session.post(self.url+'login',
                                  data={'username': username,
                                        'password': password},
                                  headers=header)
        if login.text == 'Ok.':
            self._is_authenticated = True
        else:
            return login.text

I have no experience with qBittorrent, is it my misconfiguration or is it some API update and should be fixed in this library?

python: 3.6.0
requests: 2.18.1

On qbittorrent.Client.__init__ line 31 change

From: prefs_url = self.url + 'app/preferences'
To: prefs_url = self.url + 'auth/login'

This change is nescessary to login in new versions of the qbittorrent webUI

The latest version of the package doesn't seem to be compatible with the new 4.2.0 version of qBittorrent

According to this:
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/WebUI-API-Documentation#get-torrent-list

the status list should be:
'error', 'pausedUP', 'pausedDL', 'queuedUP', 'queuedDL', 'uploading', 'stalledUP', 'checkingUP', 'checkingDL', 'downloading', 'stalledDL'

In the WebUI options for qBittorrent, there is an option to bypass authentication if the requests come from localhost. If this option is enabled, any requests from localhost do not have to authenticate before making requests; e.g. I should be able to GET /query/torrents without first POSTing to /login.
Right now, without calling Client#login, calling Client#torrents will raise a LoginRequired error when I shouldn't need any authentication as the request is coming from my local machine.

Or I am doing something wrong, or the library isn't working?

    qb = Client('http://127.0.0.1:8080/')
    qb.login('name', 'pass')
    for torrent in qb.torrents():
        arqs = qb.get_torrent_files(torrent['hash'])
        for arq in arqs:
            qb.set_file_priority(torrent['hash'], file_id=arq['index'], priority=1) #or 0 or any value

I don't see the changes with this code. How do I get the file_id? Is the index data? There is no other obvious value.
What am I doing wrong? Some values change, but it is a little random. So I think the index isn't the correct number.

The first example of
Get all active torrents:
is
qb.torrents()

This is incorrect. This returns only 10 torrents.

def torrents( self, status='active', label='', sort='priority',                     
                 reverse=False, limit=10, offset=0):   

Actually, this is a coding error. The default limit should be 85,000 or 65,336 or 99,999 or some clearly 'maximum ever' number. Currently, the limit must be inserted in every function call. Instead, it should only be required when it is ... required: when a limit is needed.

The authentication cookie expires after a while, and after that API calls fail. python-qBittorrent should handle the reauthentication.

To reproduce the problem:

1. make any API calls, and notice that it works
2. sleep for an hour
3. make the same API call, and notice that it fails with 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url

We got past the last error, but now I'm getting a new one

thank you very much,

This issue was reported by Wueno Gracia through email.

The if the savepath argument in dowload_from_link method contains spaces, they are converted to plus sign (+) resulting in wrong directory name.

For example:

qb.download_from_link('magnet?xt.....', '/home/username/Downloads/custom directory')

downloads the torrent in home/username/Downloads/custom+directory.
