SABnzbd Forums

Hi

I'm trying to upload a Nzb file to sab via the api from Android.

I've look all around the net and can't find an answer.

Thanks for any help.

"via the api"?
You mean you have some Android app?
Did you set it up properly?

Hi

Yes, I have an android app, that I can download Nzb files to the device, the problem I have is I
need to send the nzb from the app to sab.

I think its a http post request via mode=addfile but Im not sure.

Hi shypike

Any ideas on this ?

Sabcontrol on android can do it, I just can't seem to find out how.

The app has over 700,000 Nzbs avaliable, with a couple of thousand being added daily, and they all come direct from
Usenet.

I can give you the CURL command to accomplish it.
This should give you an idea how to do it.

Hi

thanks for the info, not really used curl in the past but will see If I can get if working.

Curl has some options to show what it is actually sending and receiving.

Hi

I've managed to craft a http post in basic4android, and when I check the sab logs
it matches the log entry's for the same file added by curl.

The curl one works and adds to sab and gives the return code

{"status":true,"nzo_ids":["SABnzbd_nzo_allw_s"]}

but the b4a fails with

{"status":false,"nzo_ids":[]}

Any idea what this error means ?

The "b4a" ?

basic4android application

The error means that no usable nzb file was received.

Hi shypike

Thanks for your help with this, got it working now, the issue was when reading
the nzb for the post request, there was a \r\n being added to the nzb post data,
which was making the nzb data invalid.
