Deluge::RPC

Ruby RPC client library for Deluge 2.0+ torrent client. Provides dynamic API bindings depending on RPC server. Multi-threading friendly, thanks to concurrent-ruby gem.

Deluge 1.x is not supported anymore.

Reference

• Official RPC protocol documentation
• Deluge RPC API reference
• Official repository
• Other client implementations: Go, Python

Usage

require 'deluge'

# Initialize client
client = Deluge::Rpc::Client.new(
    host: 'localhost', port: 58846,
    login: 'username', password: 'password'
)

# Start connection and authenticate
client.connect

# Get auth level
client.auth_level
# => 5

# Get available methods
client.api_methods
# => ['daemon.add_torrent_file', 'core.shutdown', ...]

# Get deluge version
client.daemon.info
# => "1.3.10"

# Get torrents list
client.core.get_torrents_status({}, ['name', 'hash'])
# => [{name: 'Hot Chicks Action', hash: '<torrent_hash>'}, ...]

# Get namespace
core = client.core
# => <Deluge::Rpc::Namespace name="core">

# Get namespace methods
core.api_methods
# => ['core.get_session_status', 'core.get_upload_rate', ....]

# Invoke namespace method
core.get_config
# => {"info_sent"=>0.0, "lsd"=>true, "send_info"=>false, ... }

# Close connection
client.close

Events

Receiving events is dead simple:

client.register_event('TorrentAddedEvent') do |torrent_id|
    puts "Torrent #{torrent_id} was added! YAY!"
end

# You can pass symbols as event name,
# they would be converted to proper camelcase event names aka "EventNameEvent"
client.register_event(:torrent_removed) do |torrent_id|
    puts "Torrent #{torrent_id} was removed ;_;"
end

Unfortunately there is no way to listen ALL events, due to Deluge architecture. You have to register each event you need.

Keep in mind event blocks would be executed in connection thread, NOT main thread! Avoid time-consuming code!
