Hello everyone,

what is the expected workflow for getting download progress from the API? Should I just call queryPackages/queryLinks periodically or is there some better way? Sorry if this was asked before but I could not find any results.

@Dyce: either poll via queryPackages/queryLinks methods or use make use of events system (events namespace) and subscribe to wished events and then use eventlistener via long polling connection. first way is totally fine

In case you need further help/got questions on this, you may also contact via support@jdownloader.org

Using the event system would be amazing, but I noticed there are no events fired when download progresses, only when it e.g. starts/stops. I subscribed using this endpoint: /events/subscribe?[".*"]&[]

So I guess there is no way around periodically polling for packages/links if I want to see the download progress, or is there?

@Dyce: the events do exist but I will have to check what maybe be missing/required in order to get them working. I will check as soon as I find time

[Dyce]

That would be awesome, thank you very much for this!

Just an update, it seems that "ADD_LINK" event is also not being fired. When I add package with link from linkcollector to downloads, only these events are fired.

Spoiler:

        {
            "eventdata": null,
            "eventid": "CONTENT_REMOVED",
            "publisher": "linkcollector"
        },
        {
            "eventdata": null,
            "eventid": "REFRESH_STRUCTURE",
            "publisher": "downloads"
        },
        {
            "eventdata": null,
            "eventid": "ADD_CONTENT",
            "publisher": "downloads"
        },
        {
            "eventdata": {
                "afterUuid": 1693564977305,

            "eventid": "ADD_PACKAGE",

            "eventid": "PACKAGE_UPDATE.running",

        }

+1 to this feature, it would be awesome to get download progress by suscribing and listening to it, not by querying it every 2 or 5 seconds or so.

Is there a way to do this by polling the events API via open websocket/stream?
Thanks in advance

Query "aggregatedNumbers" with HTTP request using "polling" namespace of the deprecated API. Default API port can be changed in advanced settings.
