Hi Akhil,
Here is an example to get you started:
I am using VS Code with REST Client to call the rclone REST API exposed by rclone rcd.
Once satisfied with my request (to the left and middle) I select the code, right click and choose "Generate Code Snippet", select C# and then get the output to the right. You can see rclone rcd running with debug info the bottom.
I find this the easiest way to start using the rclone API. Once you master this you may want to consider if sync/copy (possibly combined with async execution) fits better for your use case.
If very advanced then you could also consider using the in process calls using the librclone library. Note: librclone doesn't support the above core/command call, only sync/copy.
Here is the HTTP REST code used in the above example:
POST http://localhost:5572/core/command HTTP/1.1
content-type: application/json
{
"command": "copy",
"arg": [
"myRemote:",
"../testfolder1",
"--dry-run",
"--log-level=INFO",
"--use-json-log=false"
],
"returnType": "STREAM"
}
and the corresponding code in C#:
var client = new HttpClient();
var request = new HttpRequestMessage
{
Method = HttpMethod.Post,
RequestUri = new Uri("http://localhost:5572/core/command"),
Headers =
{
{ "user-agent", "vscode-restclient" },
},
Content = new StringContent("{\"command\": \"copy\",\"arg\": [\"myRemote:\",\"../testfolder1\",\"--dry-run\",\"--log-level=INFO\",\"--use-json-log=false\"],\"returnType\": \"STREAM\"}")
{
Headers =
{
ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json")
}
}
};
using (var response = await client.SendAsync(request))
{
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
var body = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(body);
}
I hope this helps!
