pyLoad script no longer working

[SweetthD3ViL]

Hello,

I am sorry but I have been searching for the solution for hours and I can't figure it out. The pyLoad script that used to work is no longer returning the right info from the json server info.

Nothing as changed, the URL is correct, the credential are correct. I tested the scrip by changing .active to .total and echo the result to check if it was returning the right info (i.e. 27 in that case, but the return is 'null')

For info this is the json info the page is returning:

{"pause": true, "active": 0, "queue": 0, "total": 27, "speed": 0, "download": false, "reconnect": false, "captcha": false}

And the script:

#!/bin/bash

SessionID=$(curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login" -g -H "Host: 127.0.0.1:8000" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data "username=user&password=password" | jq -r)

SessionStatus=$(curl -s  "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/statusServer" -g -H "Host: 127.0.0.1:8000" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data "session=$SessionID" | jq -r '.active')

if [ $SessionStatus -eq 1 ]
then
  exit 0
else
  exit 1
fi

Any help would be appreciated - many thanks

You can add the following to the first lines of the script to get debug logging. With the logs, maybe we see the problem:

#!/bin/bash

set -e
set -x

Thank you for your reply, see terminal output (the first one without any download on, and the second one with a download active)

Thank you for your time

[languitar]

You are not getting a session ID and then the subsequent status also doesn't get any data.

What does the following command show on your system:

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login -g -H 'Host: 127.0.0.1:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=****&password=****'

[SweetthD3ViL]

[sweetth@pbertol ~]$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login -g -H 'Host: 127.0.0.1:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=******&password=******'
[sweetth@pbertol ~]$

The command return nothing, no error, nothing.

[languitar]

Please use tripple backticks for multi-line content here on GitHub. Otherwise, line breaks are messed up.

Alright, looks like the server is reporting some error. When you add a -v flag to curl instead of -s, we will see more:

curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login -g -H 'Host: 127.0.0.1:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=******&password=******'

[SweetthD3ViL]

Right,

So if I run the original command I get the following:

$ curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login -g -H 'Host: 127.0.0.1:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=*****&password=******'

[sweetth@pbertol ~]$ curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login -g -H 'Host: 127.0.0.1:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=pyload&password=pI081082pyLoad'

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8000 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server

But If i run the command with the internal IP address from the server directly or even from my desktop it then works?

$ curl -v http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/login -g -H 'Host: 192.168.1.90:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=*****&password=******'

I also get this error from the url directly which I didn't have prior?

 {"error": "Api.login() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'username' and 'password'", "traceback": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"/home/sweetth/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyload/webui/app/blueprints/api_blueprint.py\", line 58, in rpc\n    response = call_api(func, *args, **kwargs)\n               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n  File \"/home/sweetth/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyload/webui/app/blueprints/api_blueprint.py\", line 72, in call_api\n    result = getattr(api, func)(\n             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\nTypeError: Api.login() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'username' and 'password'\n"}```

Looks like pyLoad is not listening on that interface anymore. You can check on the system running pyLoad where it is listening via ss -tlnp| grep 8000.

[SweetthD3ViL]

Right, so pyload is listening on 192.168.1.90 which is fine I guess and I have modified the script that way. However, there is still an issue of not being authorised

++ curl -s http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/login -g -H 'Host: 192.168.1.90:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=***&password=***'
++ jq -r
+ SessionID='{
  "_permanent": true,
  "authenticated": true,
  "id": 1,
  "name": "pyload",
  "role": 0,
  "perms": 0,
  "template": "default",
  "_flashes": [
    [
      "message",
      "Logged in successfully"
    ]
  ]
}'
++ curl -s http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/statusServer -g -H 'Host: 192.168.1.90:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'session={
  "_permanent": true,
  "authenticated": true,
  "id": 1,
  "name": "pyload",
  "role": 0,
  "perms": 0,
  "template": "default",
  "_flashes": [
    [
      "message",
      "Logged in successfully"
    ]
  ]
}'
+ SessionStatus='{"error": "Unauthorized"}'
+ [[ {"error": "Unauthorized"} -eq 1 ]]
autosuspend_script/pyload_autosuspend.sh: line 10: [[: {"error": "Unauthorized"}: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "{"error": "Unauthorized"}")
+ echo '{"error":' '"Unauthorized"}'
{"error": "Unauthorized"}

It seems the first curl command log in successfully but failed on the second command?

[languitar]

Somethung must have changed with the login API upstream. Your first curl now returns a full json object with different information contained:

{
  "_permanent": true,
  "authenticated": true,
  "id": 1,
  "name": "pyload",
  "role": 0,
  "perms": 0,
  "template": "default",
  "_flashes": [
    [
      "message",
      "Logged in successfully"
    ]
  ]
}

That obviously wont work as a session identifier for the next call.

pyLoad seems to try to put the session information into a cookie instead now:

< Set-Cookie: pyload_session=8d4b2490-c6ad-40fe-94f7-440996f09106; Expires=Sat, 08 Jul 2023 09:18:17 GMT; HttpOnly; Path=/; SameSite=Lax

As a rough guess, you can probably now try something like the following for the first login curl call:

curl -s http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/login -g -H 'Host: 192.168.1.90:8000' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=***&password=***' -c - | cut -f 7

[SweetthD3ViL]

Sorry for the late reply I have been very busy and also asked for some assistance from the pyload dev.

The following script now works and connect to pyload, but the $SessionStatus return is now 'null' ?

#!/bin/bash

set -e
set -x

curl -c cookie.txt -d "username=*****&password=*****" http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/login -c - | cut -f 7

SessionStatus=$(curl -b cookie.txt "http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/statusServer" | jq -r '.queue')

echo $SessionStatus

#if [ $SessionStatus -eq 1 ]
#then
#  exit 0
#else
#  exit 1
#fi

$ sh autosuspend_script/pyload_autosuspend.sh -v
+ curl -c cookie.txt -d 'username=*****&password=*****' http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/login -c -
+ cut -f 7

ffb302e6-9711-41c8-9b76-a64281a23f94
++ curl -b cookie.txt http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/statusServer
++ jq -r .queue

+ echo null
null

Obviously, I have modified the script to test that it return the right value. Queue should return 14.

Thank you again for your assistance.

[languitar]

What does curl -b cookie.txt "http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/statusServer" return without being piped into jq?

[languitar]

And please continue the discussion threads instead of starting a new one for each reply.

[SweetthD3ViL]

Below the return of the line which is returning the right info.

$ curl -b cookie.txt "http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/statusServer" 
{"pause": false, "active": 0, "queue": 16, "total": 16, "speed": 0, "download": true, "reconnect": false, "captcha": false} 

Sorry, I hope this is the right way of replying without starting a new one?

[languitar]

Then curl -b cookie.txt "http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/statusServer" | jq -r '.queue' should also work and return the 16:

❯ echo '{"pause": false, "active": 0, "queue": 16, "total": 16, "speed": 0, "download": true, "reconnect": false, "captcha": false}' 
| jq -r '.queue'
16

I don't see why that shouldn't work apart from being unauthorized or pyLoad returning an error

[SweetthD3ViL]

It was an error of authorisation, and now the following script works as intended.

#!/bin/bash

set -e
set -x

curl -c cookie.txt -d "username=****&password=****" http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/login

SessionStatus=$(curl -b cookie.txt "http://192.168.1.90:8000/api/statusServer" | jq -r '.active')

if [ $SessionStatus -ge 1 ]
then
  exit 0
else
  exit 1
fi

Thank you so much for your assistance, much appreciated
