Synology CLI provides easy access to your Synology applications using the official Synology API.
Since Synology itself does not provide a cli tool, it is very hard to integrate Synology applications into scripts.
As an example: You want to download a lot of files using your Synology DownloadStation. You have to manage the Synology authentication and the correct calls to DownloadStation API on your own. The simple task downloading a lot of files becomes very complicated.
Using Synology CLI, all this can be done with a single call:
$> cat download-links.txt | synology-cli ds task add -
The Synology CLI provides on each level the help command with examples.
Just try:
$> synology-cli
# or
$> synology-cli help
