Syno

Simple Node.js wrapper (browser included) and CLI for Synology DSM REST API 5.x and 6.x.

Built with Grunt Build Status npm version Dependency Status devDependency Status Synology Development Tool

See Synology Development Tool.

Installation

$ npm install syno

If you want to save it as a dependency, just add the --save option.

$ npm install syno --save

If you want to install with the CLI executable, just add the --global option.

$ npm install syno --global

Syno API

This is a simple presentation of the syno API and its methods. To get more information (parameters, response data, ...) refer to the Synology Developer Tool page.

  • DSM API
  • File Station API
  • Download Station API
  • Audio Station API
  • Video Station API
  • Video Station DTV API
  • Surveillance Station API

Javascript wrapper

var Syno = require('syno');
var syno = new Syno({
    // Requests protocol : 'http' or 'https' (default: http)
    protocol: 'https',
    // DSM host : ip, domain name (default: localhost)
    host: 'localhost',
    // DSM port : port number (default: 5000)
    port: '5001',
    // DSM User account (required)
    account: 'my_username',
    // DSM User password (required)
    passwd: 'my_password'
    // DSM API version (optional, default: 6.0.2)
    apiVersion: '6.0.2'
});

This is how to use an API on the syno object

syno.api.method(params, callback);

All arguments are optional by default :

  • params : object hash with request parameters
  • callback : function called with 2 arguments (error, data)

The data arguments passed to the callback is an object hash, holding the response data. (see API documents)

Both the params and callback are optional, so you can call any method these ways :

// Both params and callback
syno.api.method(params, callback);
// Only params parameter
syno.api.method(params);
// Only callback parameter
syno.api.method(callback);
// No parameter
syno.api.method();

N.B : If the params parameter is not passed, but the method expects required parameters, an Error will be thrown.

Examples

// DSM API - Provide DSM information
syno.dsm.getInfo(callback);
// File Station API - Provide File Station information
syno.fs.getInfo(callback);
// File Station API - Enumerate files in a given folder
syno.fs.list({'folder_path':'/path/to/folder'}, callback);
// Download Station API - List download tasks
syno.dl.listFiles({'limit':5, 'offset':10}, callback);
// Download Station API - Create a download task
syno.dl.createTask({'uri':'https://link'}, callback);
// Audio Station API - Search a song
syno.as.searchSong({'title':'my_title_song'}, callback);
// Video Station API - List movies
syno.vs.listMovies({'limit':5}, callback);
// Video Station DTV API - List channels
syno.dtv.listChannels({'limit':5}, callback);
// Surveillance Station API - Get camera information
syno.ss.getInfoCamera({'cameraIds':4}, callback);

CLI Authentication

Via environment variables

export SYNO_ACCOUNT=user
export SYNO_PASSWORD=password
export SYNO_PROTOCOL=https
export SYNO_HOST=localhost
export SYNO_PORT=5001

Without a configuration file

$ syno fs getInfo --url https://user:password@localhost:5001 --pretty

With a configuration file

# Example config file, by default it should be located at:
# ~/.syno/config.yaml

url:
  protocol: https
  host: localhost
  port: 5001
  account: admin
  passwd: password
$ syno fs getInfo --pretty

Browser

Note

Be sure to disable same-origin policy in your browser.

Example

<html>
  <head>
  <script src="syno-6.x.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  var Syno = require('syno.Syno');
  var syno = new Syno({
      // Requests protocol : 'http' or 'https' (default: http)
      protocol: 'https',
      // DSM host : ip, domain name (default: localhost)
      host: 'localhost',
      // DSM port : port number (default: 5000)
      port: '5001',
      // DSM User account (required)
      account: 'my_username',
      // DSM User password (required)
      passwd: 'my_password'
  });

  syno.fs.getInfo(function(error, data) {
    console.log(data)  
  });
  </script>
  </head>
<html>

Demo

A demo is available online or in the test/browser folder.

Migrating from 1.0.x to 2.x

Breaking changes

  • Some method names might have change. For example (getFileStationInfo to getInfo)
  • Optional and required parameters are not checked before sending the request anymore.

Tips & Tricks

If you meet this error when using an https connection:

[ERROR] : Error: UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE

You will need to tell request to ignore certificate errors:

CLI:

syno as getInfo --ignore-certificate-errors

or

export SYNO_IGNORE_CERTIFICATE_ERRORS=0

Code:

var syno = new Syno({
    ignoreCertificateErrors: false
    // Other options
    // ...
});
