Synology Wrapper

If you find yourself on this page, most probably you are trying to develop something for your NAS,

this wrapper might come to your help to build your script.

I would like to specify that I do this for hobby as is my passion and in my little free time.

Said this, there is no warranties chained and this library is provided "As Is", you will find many things can be simplified, and I slowly will but feel free to Contribute.

Feeling kind?

Premise

I've tried this wrapper only with python3 I do not know if it actually runs with previous versions

Before opening an issue make sure you do your own research, if you are not sure, write me.

Prerequisites

Prior to install this wrapper see requirements.txt.

Installation

Just go to repository folder and run the setup.py it will install the wrapper for you. from the command line go to the downloaded folder and run:

pip3 install synology-api

or

python3.6 setup.py install

or

pip3 install git+https://github.com/N4S4/synology-api

Basic Usage HTTP

from synology_api import filestation, downloadstation

# Initiate the classes DownloadStation & FileStation with (ip_address, port, username, password)
# it will log in automatically 
# NOTE: for Filestation and Downloadstation only has been added interactive_output=True,
# It can be omitted and initiate the wrapper with the below ove code

fl = filestation.FileStation('Synology Ip', 'Synology Port', 'Username', 'Password', secure=False, cert_verify=False, dsm_version=7, debug=True, otp_code=None)

fl.`get_info()`

dwn = downloadstation.DownloadStation('Synology Ip', 'Synology Port', 'Username', 'Password', secure=False, cert_verify=False, dsm_version=7, debug=True, otp_code=None)

dwn.`get_info()`

response would be json data

{"data": {"enable_list_usergrp": "False",
  "hostname": "MyCloud",
  "is_manager": "True",
  "items": [{"gid": 100}, {"gid": 101}],
  "support_file_request": "True",
  "support_sharing": "True",
  "support_vfs": "True",
  "support_virtual": {"enable_iso_mount": "True", "enable_remote_mount": "True"},
  "support_virtual_protocol": ["cifs", "nfs", "iso"],
  "system_codepage": "enu",
  "uid": 1026},
 "success": "True"}

If required HTTPS (it requires a valid certificate)

fl = filestation.FileStation('Synology Ip', 'Synology Port', 'Username', 'Password', secure=True, cert_verify=True, dsm_version=7, debug=True, otp_code=None)

the secure=True variable is needed to be set to true if https is required; default value is False
the cert_verify=True is optional, if you want to verify your certificate set it to True; default value is False
the dsm_version=7 is optional, make sure to set '7' if you use DSM version 7 or above, if left blank default value will be for DSM 6 or below the debug=True is optional, if set to False not all responses will return to console
If your login require otp_code you can set it changing the None value.

There are quite few available functions so... I will need to write a documentation as
I will slowly implement more functions, Synology APIs are plenty, too many for my little time.

What's still missing

There is still few missing function for the api supplied from Synology which is a work in progress:

Missing in FileStation
SYNO.FileStation.Thumb

Missing in Virtualization
SYNO.Virtualization.API.Guest create

Bugs

Maybe?

I hate bugs..

well report them please (if you'll ever use this code)

Conclusions

There is still a lot to implement.

The code is probably in some parts twisted, I will try to optimize it at best
