Normalized API

These functions have been normalized between torrent clients. Can easily support multiple torrent clients. See below for alternative supported torrent clients

getAllData

Returns all torrent data and an array of label objects. Data has been normalized and does not match the output of native listTorrents().

const data = await client.getAllData();
console.log(data.torrents);

getTorrent

Returns one torrent data

const data = await client.getTorrent();
console.log(data);

pauseTorrent and resumeTorrent

Pause or resume a torrent

const paused = await client.pauseTorrent();
console.log(paused);
const resumed = await client.resumeTorrent();
console.log(resumed);

removeTorrent

Remove a torrent. Does not remove data on disk by default.

// does not remove data on disk
const result = await client.removeTorrent('torrent_id', false);
console.log(result);

// remove data on disk
const res = await client.removeTorrent('torrent_id', true);
console.log(res);
