Prerequisites

• Node.JS v6 and above
• Openload API key (available after registration)

Install

npm install --save node-openload

Usage

Create an instance by using the following configuration:

const openload = require('node-openload');
const ol = openload({
  api_login: YOUR-API-LOGIN-HERE,
  api_key: YOUR-API-KEY-HERE,
});

Functions

Below the available functions are listed. The structure of the returned object may be looked up at the API documentation.
By default, this module returns only the result property from the API response.

Sample function call:

ol.getAccountInfo()
  .then(info => console.log(info));   // Prints account info

getAccountInfo()

Returns information about your account.

getDownloadTicket(file)

Returns a download ticket, needed for actually downloading desired file afterwards.

file: The ID of your requested file.

Caution:

• Sometimes the response also returns a captcha_url property holding an image link in the result.
• In addition a 509: Bandwidth usage exceeded error might be returned, this is the API's fault, not the fault of this module. Then a file download is not possible at this time.

getDownloadLink(obj)

Returns a download link for the requested file.

obj: Object containing data for the download:

{
  file:             // mandatory
  ticket:           // mandatory
  captcha_response:
}

• obj.file: The ID of your requested file.
• obj.ticket: The previously generated ticket.
• captcha_response: The response to the retrieved captcha image (only if there was a captcha_url returned with the download ticket).

getDownload(file)

Combines getDownloadTicket(file) and getDownloadLink(obj).
Either returns download link, or, if Captcha is necessary, returns response of getDownloadTicket(file).

getFileInfo(file)

Returns info about given file id.

file: might consist of an Array or a string of comma-seperated file IDs. Max 50 IDs allowed.

deleteFile(file)

Deletes files based on given file id.

file: might consist of an Array or a string of comma-seperated file IDs. Max 50 IDs allowed.

{
  url:             // mandatory
  folder:
  headers:

obj: Object containing data for the upload:

{
  id:
  limit:
}

Perform an upload of a local file.

obj: Object containing data for the upload:

{
  file:             // mandatory
  folder:
  filename:
  contentType:
}

• obj.file: A buffer or the local path of your desired file.
• obj.folder: The folder ID you want to upload to. (not required)
• obj.filename: The file's name. (only required if using a buffer)
