Upload from CLI

It'd be nice to be able to also upload files to Put from the CLI.

This is not currently possible using only the Put.js library.

Is it possible to upload a .torrent file to start the transfer?

[davidchalifoux]

@Gex2501 Good news, I'm actually 95% done with completely rewriting this software and I already have file uploading working.

My goal is to have v2.0 released this weekend!

That's fantastic! What I'm really looking for a simple one line curl command to add torrent transfers. I've been reading over the API for hours and I'm just not sure how to do it. I got the following from the API but where do I put my token so the command is authenticated?

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://upload.put.io/v2/files/upload' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'file=@TotallyLegalFile.torrent' \
  -F 'filename=' \
  -F 'parent_id=0'

@Gex2501 You're super close!

You just need an API token in the header:
Authorization: Bearer ${API_TOKEN}

Which I think looks like -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN_HERE" added to CURL.

Thank you so much! I spent hours trying to figure this out! This worked for me...

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://upload.put.io/v2/files/upload' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXTOKENXXXXXXXX' \
  -F 'file=@TotallyLegitFile.torrent' \
  -F 'filename=' \
  -F 'parent_id='
