Let's Crate's API hasn't been working for months now. :( They haven't replied to my emails about it, so I have no idea whether they intend to bring it back.
This is an unofficial command line client for Let's Crate.
Please let me know what you think! You can reach me at [email protected].
To use this program, you need to create an account at Let's Crate and
to install Typhoeus, as well as JSON. You can do that with gem install typhoeus; gem install json in your
command line.
The first time you run it, you have to use the "-l" switch with your login information. It will then ask you if you want to save the credentials at ~/.config/letscrate/config so you don't need to keep typing them every time you use the program.
Example:
letscrate.rb -l username:password
letscrate.rb -l "username:password"
After that, you can select an action from the list below and use the command normally.
You can use multiple files, names or crates in the commands whose descriptions are in plural.
If you use the --regexp function with the commands marked with an asterisk, every argument will be treated as a regular expression. The search and the list options use regular expressions by default.
Usage: letscrate.rb <-l username:password> [options] file1 file2 ...
or: letscrate.rb <-l username:password> [options] name1 name2 ...
Mandatory arguments:
-l, --login [username:password] Login with this username and password
File functions:
-u, --upload [Crate name] Upload files to crate
-r, --delete Delete files with names *
-a, --list List all files
-d, --download Download files with names *
-s, --search Search for files with names
-i, --id Show files with IDs
Crate functions:
-N, --newcrate Create new crates with names
-A, --listcrates List all crates (or files in crates, if names are passed)
-D, --downloadcrates Download crates with names *
-S, --searchcrates Search for crates with names
--renamecrate [Crate name] Rename crate to name
-R, --deletecrate Delete crates with names *
Misc. options:
--regexp Treat names as regular expressions
-t, --test Only test the credentials
--ids Print IDs when listing files/crates.
-v, --verbose Output extra info to the terminal
-q, --quiet Do not output anything to the terminal
--version Output version
-h, --help Display this screen
--debug Internal use only.
An ID is a 5+ digit identifier used internally by Let's Crate. To know the ID of your files, use the "--ids" option to list them with their respective URLs and IDs when executing any command.
For example, you can list all your crates and files with their IDs by typing
letscrate.rb -l username:password -a --ids
Generally, you don't need to know the ID of a file, but if you do, you can use it instead of the name of the files/crates (it's faster).
You can also mix names with IDs whenever you want to.
If for some reason one of your files or crates is named with a 5 digit number, to stop this program from treating it as an ID, suffix it with a '$' (e.g. "34982$" will be treated as a name instead of an ID).
You can type only a fragment of a crate or file's name if you know it's unique. Even if you don't specify the --regexp option, the program internally uses case insensitive regular expressions. For example, you can type only "yell" if one of your crates/files is called "Yellow.zip" and you know none of your other files have that exact string in them.
In the off chance that two names collide (e.g. "apple" and "apples with pears"), you can add a '$' to the end of the shorter one (e.g. "apple$").
You can read about regular expressions in Wikipedia.
- Make this a Ruby Gem.
- Do not store login info in plaintext.
- None yet, but please open a ticket (or email me) if you find one.
- Let's Crate just added password verification for files (it was previously Crate only), which renders this application useless for downloading them. You can still upload, delete and list them, but you can't download them unless you use your browser.
