Trying to replicate this bash script, any help appreciated

[kzshantonu]

#!/usr/bin/zsh

SABNZBD_HOST=""
API_KEY=""
HTTP_SCHEME="https"

JOB_IDS=($(curl -s "$HTTP_SCHEME://$SABNZBD_HOST/sabnzbd/api?apikey=$API_KEY&mode=queue&output=json" | jq -r '.queue.slots[] | select(.status != "Paused") | .nzo_id'))

for ID in $JOB_IDS; do
    curl -s "$HTTP_SCHEME://$SABNZBD_HOST/sabnzbd/api?apikey=$API_KEY&mode=queue&name=pause&value=$ID" > /dev/null
    echo "Paused job: $ID"
done

Hi,

Since this script involves making many HTTP requests and needs to process the response, it's best to create a "Scripting Shortcut" for this.

I'm not too familiar with bash or with the jq command, so I did a bit of guess-work with the following, but the JavaScript code that you'd use in your Scripting Shortcut might look something like this:

const sabnzbdHost = "";
const apiKey = "";
const httpScheme = "https";

const result = sendHttpRequest(`${httpScheme}://${sabnzbdHost}/sabnzbd/api?apikey=${apiKey}&mode=queue&output=json`);
const responseBody = JSON.parse(result.response.body);
const jobIds = [];
for (slot in responseBody.queue.slots) {
  if (slot.status != "Paused") {
    jobIds.push(slot.nzo_id);
  }
}

for (id in jobIds) {
  sendHttpRequest(`${httpScheme}://${sabnzbdHost}/sabnzbd/api?apikey=${apiKey}&mode=queue&name=pause&value=${id}`);
}

I have not tested the above, and it does not include any kind of error handling. For debugging purposes, you could insert an alert(result) after the line that declares the result variable, as that will display the response object to the screen.

More information on Scripting, in particular the sendHttpRequest function, can be found here: https://http-shortcuts.rmy.ch/scripting#send-http-request

Thanks. It seems that the json is being correctly received, but the jobIds are nulls

I don't know what your JSON looks like, so can't help you in detail. I suggest you try around with inspecting the values of your variables at different points in the code, by passing them into the alert(...) function. E.g. after the for (...) line, you could add a alert(slot) to see what the slot variable looks like.
