A fully typed TypeScript API client for Rclone's RC interface

CodyAdam · March 18, 2025, 7:31pm

For my personal project, I needed to heavily rely on rclone for remote use, but I couldn't find a well-documented REST API for it.
I know there have been discussions on the forum, but nothing concrete.

So, I started working on an rclone API with fully type-safe responses, compatible with the OpenAPI spec.

GitHub (MIT license): GitHub - CodyAdam/rclone-rc: A fully typed TypeScript API client for rclone's Remote Control (RC) interface.
Available on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/rclone-rc

Feedback appreciated.
