PsTransmission

A Powershell module that integrates with the Transmission RPC API.

Available in the Powershell Gallery

Description

A collection of Powershell cmdlets that allow integration with a Transmission instance via the RPC API.

All endpoints in the RPC specification are exposed: Transmission RPC spec.

Installation (from the Powershell Gallery)

Install-Module Transmission
Import-Module Transmission

Supplying API credentials

Before any of the Transmission cmdlets can be run, both your host and credentials need to be registered to the current session using the Set-TransmissionCredentials cmdlet, for example:

Set-TransmissionCredentials -Host "http://192.168.0.1:9091/transmission/rpc" -User "user" -Password "password"

This registers your credentials for the duration of the session. Adding a -StorePermanent switch to the Set-TransmissionCredentials command will create an encrypted file saved on your machine that will obviate the need to set credentials with each new session:

Set-TransmissionCredentials -Host "http://192.168.0.1:9091/transmission/rpc" -User "user" -Password "password" -StorePermanent

You can remove credentials at any time by using the Remove-TransmissionCredentials cmdlet. To remove a file created using the -StorePermanent switch run the Remove-TransmissionCredentials with a -DeletePermanent switch:

Remove-TransmissionCredentials -DeletePermanent
