NAME Transmission::Client - Interface to Transmission VERSION 0.0805 DESCRIPTION Transmission::Client is the main module in a collection of modules to communicate with Transmission. Transmission is: Transmission is a cross-platform BitTorrent client that is: * Easy * Lean * Native * Powerful * Free If you want to communicate with "transmission-daemon", this is a module which can help you with that. The documentation is half copy/paste from the Transmission RPC spec: This module differs from P2P::Transmission in (at least) two ways: This one use Moose and it won't die. The latter is especially annoying in the constructor. SYNOPSIS use Transmission::Client; my $client = Transmission::Client->new; my $torrent_id = 2; my $data = base64_encoded_data(); $client->add(metainfo => $data) or confess $client->error; $client->remove($torrent_id) or confess $client->error; for my $torrent (@{ $client->torrents }) { print $torrent->name, "\n"; for my $file (@{ $torrent->files }) { print "> ", $file->name, "\n"; } } print $client->session->download_dir, "\n"; FAULT HANDLING In 0.06 Transmission::Client can be constructed with "autodie" set to true, to make this object confess instead of just setting "error". Example: my $client = Transmission::Client->new(autodie => 1); eval { $self->add(filename => 'foo.torrent'); } or do { # add() failed... }; SEE ALSO Transmission::AttributeRole Transmission::Session Transmission::Torrent Transmission::Utils ATTRIBUTES url $str = $self->url; Returns an URL to where the Transmission rpc api is. Default value is "http://localhost:9091/transmission/rpc"; error $str = $self->error; Returns the last error known to the object. All methods can return empty list in addition to what specified. Check this attribute if so happens. Like "autodie"? Create your object with "autodie" set to true and this module will throw exceptions in addition to setting this variable. username $str = $self->username; Used to authenticate against Transmission. password $str = $self->password; Used to authenticate against Transmission. timeout $int = $self->timeout; Number of seconds to wait for RPC response. session $session_obj = $self->session; $stats_obj = $self->stats; Returns an instance of Transmission::Session. "stats()" is a proxy method on "session". torrents $array_ref = $self->torrents; $self->clear_torrents; Returns an array-ref of Transmission::Torrent objects. Default value is a full list of all known torrents, with as little data as possible read from Transmission. This means that each request on a attribute on an object will require a new request to Transmission. See "read_torrents" for more information. version $str = $self->version; Get Transmission version. session_id $self->session_id($str); $str = $self->session_id; The session ID used to communicate with Transmission. METHODS add $bool = $self->add(%args); key | value type & description -----------------+------------------------------------------------- download_dir | string path to download the torrent to filename | string filename or URL of the .torrent file metainfo | string torrent content paused | boolean if true, don't start the torrent peer_limit | number maximum number of peers Either "filename" or "metainfo" MUST be included. All other arguments are optional. See "3.4 Adding a torrent" from remove $bool = $self->remove(%args); key | value type & description -------------------+------------------------------------------------- ids | array torrent list, as described in 3.1 delete_local_data | boolean delete local data. (default: false) "ids" can also be the string "all". "ids" is required. See "3.4 Removing a torrent" from move $bool = $self->move(%args); string | value type & description ------------+------------------------------------------------- ids | array torrent list, as described in 3.1 location | string the new torrent location move | boolean if true, move from previous location. | otherwise, search "location" for files "ids" can also be the string "all". "ids" and "location" is required. See "3.5 moving a torrent" from start $bool = $self->start($ids); Will start one or more torrents. $ids can be a single int, an array of ints or the string "all". stop $bool = $self->stop($ids); Will stop one or more torrents. $ids can be a single int, an array of ints or the string "all". verify $bool = $self->stop($ids); Will verify one or more torrents. $ids can be a single int, an array of ints or the string "all". read_torrents @list = $self->read_torrents(%args); $array_ref = $self->read_torrents(%args); key | value type & description ------------+------------------------------------------------- ids | array torrent list, as described in 3.1 | this is optional lazy_read | will create objects with as little data as possible. List context Returns a list of Transmission::Torrent objects and sets the "torrents" attribute. Scalar context Returns an array-ref of Transmission::Torrent. rpc $any = $self->rpc($method, %args); Communicate with backend. This methods is meant for internal use. read_all 1 == $self->read_all; This method will try to populate ALL torrent, session and stats information, using three requests.
