Prowl Notification

[Maxxodd]

This is code that was written by Peter Niels. I had no part in writing it and take no credit. I have been using it successfully to alert me when a new torrent is downloaded an added to the library. You must use Prowl on your Timer. I have found this much more reliable than email through gmail's occasional need to perform a "capcha" verification. I could always get email to work for a few days and then it would stop for no apparent reason. Anyway, prowl is really nice.

Put this part at the top:

Code: Select all

class Prowl {

  static add(apikey, application, event, description, priority = 0) {
    use(StringCategory) {
      send "https://prowl.weks.net/publicapi/add?apikey=${apikey}&application=${application.encode()}&event=${event.encode()}&description=${description.encode()}&priority=${priority}"
    }
  }

  static verify(apikey) {
    send "https://prowl.weks.net/publicapi/verify?apikey=${apikey}"
  }

  static send(url) {
    def result = new Expando()
    try {
      def prowl = new XmlParser().parseText(url.toURL().text)
      result.remaining = prowl.success[0].@remaining
      result.resetdate = new Date(Long.valueOf(prowl.success[0].@resetdate) * 1000)
      result.success = true
    } catch (Exception ex) {
      result.success = false
      result.errorMessage = ex.message
    }
    return result
  }

}

class StringCategory {
  static encode(string) {
    URLEncoder.encode(string, "UTF-8")
  }
}

Insert this part where you would otherwise be notified via email or after your renaming process:

Code: Select all

--- verify api key ---

println Prowl.verify("your_api_key")


--- send event ---

println Prowl.add("your_api_key", "my-app", "my-event", "my-description")

Hope this helps some people and thanks for all your great work Rednoah!

Thanks for the tip! Gmail worked fine for testing, but maybe if it sends to many mails, or from an IP where nobody ever logs into gmail. Maybe there is a solution somewhere on the net.

I'll have a look at Prowl, if it works well I'll add a new shared script so you can just do include('lib/prowl') to add those functions.

UPDATE:
Not gonna add default support for that since that Prowl app charges $$$! Since I don't get paid for my work, I don't really see why others should.
