A client for the Newsbin Pro Usenet Downloader
License: MIT

This is an asyncio Python library to communicate with the [Newsbin Pro](https://www.newsbin.com/) Remote Control interface.

It implements all of [Remote Control Version 6.10 Interface Spec](https://help.newsbin.com/index.php/Version_6.10_Interface_Spec).

## Installation

```
pip install newsbinpro_client
```

## Documentation

The full library documentation can be found [here](https://jonnybergdahl.github.io/newsbinpro_client/).

## Getting started

In order to activate the remote control interface, go to _Options_ - _Settings_, select `_Remote Control`
in the left menu, and check `Enable Remote Control`. You can optionally set a password and change the port.
Then click _OK_ to save. If you have a firewall active in your machine, you need to [open the TCP port for 
access](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-open-port-windows-firewall).

Check out the instructions on github.com/jonnybergdahl/Python-Newsbinpro-client. You will  find a sample script
that show how it is used.

### Sample use

The following code connects to Newsbin Pro and prints out the version number and basic
statistics.

```python
import asyncio

from newsbinpro_client import NewsbinProClient

HOST = "172.30.1.60"
PORT = 118
PASSWORD = "password"

async def main(host: str, port: int, password: str) -> None:

    # Create a client instance
    client = NewsbinProClient(host,
                              port,
                              password)

    print(f"Connecting to {host}:{port}")
    await client.connect()
    print(f"Newsbin Pro version        : {client.newsbin_version}")
    status = await client.get_status()
    print(f"Current speed              : {status.speed}")
    print(f"Data folder free space     : {status.data_folder_free_space_str}")
    print(f"Download folder free space : {status.download_folder_free_space_str}")

    await client.disconnect()
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main(HOST, PORT, PASSWORD))

```

Output:
```
Newsbin Pro version        : Newsbin Server 6.91RC2
Current speed              : 64702260
Data folder free space     : 944.83 GB
Download folder free space : 944.83 GB
