Syno API

This is a simple presentation of the syno API and its methods. To get more information (parameters, response data, ...) use the PDF documents (see in the wiki).

• DSM Syno API
• Authentication Syno API
• File Station Syno API
• Download Station Syno API
• Audio Station Syno API
• Video Station Syno API
• Video Station DTV Syno API
• Surveillance Station Syno API

Javascript wrapper

var Syno = require('syno');
var syno = new Syno({
    // Requests protocol : 'http' or 'https' (default: http)
    protocol: 'https',
    // DSM host : ip, domain name (default: localhost)
    host: 'localhost',
    // DSM port : port number (default: 5000)
    port: '5001',
    // DSM User account (required)
    account: 'my_username',
    // DSM User password (required)
    passwd: 'my_password'
});

This is how to use an API on the syno object

syno.api.method(params, callback);

All arguments are optional by default :

• params : object hash with request parameters
• callback : function called with 2 arguments (error, data)

The data arguments passed to the callback is an object hash, holding the response data. (see API documents)

Both the params and callback are optional, so you can call any method these ways :

// Both params and callback
syno.api.method(params, callback);
// Only params parameter
syno.api.method(params);
// Only callback parameter
syno.api.method(callback);
// No parameter
syno.api.method();

N.B : If the params parameter is not passed, but the method expects required parameters, an Error will be thrown.

Examples

// File Station API - Provide File Station information
syno.fs.getFileStationInfo(callback);
// File Station API - Enumerate files in a given folder
syno.fs.listFiles({'folder_path':'/path/to/folder'}, callback);
// Download Station API - List download tasks
syno.dl.listFiles({'limit':5, 'offset':10}, callback);
// Download Station API - Create a download task
syno.dl.createTask({'uri':'https://link'}, callback);
// Audio Station API - Search a song
syno.as.searchSong({'title':'my_title_song'}, callback);
// Video Station API - List movies
syno.vs.listMovies({'limit':5}, callback);
// Video Station DTV API - List channels
syno.dtv.listDTVChannels({'limit':5}, callback);
// Surveillance Station API - Get camera information
syno.ss.getCameraInfo({'cameraIds':4}, callback);

CLI Authentication

Without a configuration file

$ syno fs getFileStationInfo --url https://user:password@localhost:5001 --pretty

With a configuration file

# Example config file, by default it should be located at:
# ~/.syno/config.yaml

url:
  protocol: https
  host: localhost
  port: 5001
  account: admin
  passwd: password

$ syno fs getFileStationInfo --pretty
