Manual download via Api

Help & Support
#1

Continuing the discussion from API - Send manual release to be download:

Hi,

I have been working on a feature for Sonarr Connect that will give users the ability to manual download releases. By using the example above i get an internal server error and if i extend it with the api key i get the following error.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://192.168.1.100:8989/api/release?apikey=793687589651460389181621*******. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'chrome-extension://iepihemfobgobchcdojmappkopiehkjh' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 500.

Is there a way to post the Release object to the release API without getting a response like this?
Thanks!

Is there an error in Sonarr’s logs?

The API does support CORS, but given the response is a 500 error it seems to have failed and the headers weren’t added.

Hi Markus,

The following error is presented in the logs of sonarr.

Its failing because Sonarr doesn’t have a cached copy of release (used so less data needs to be sent to/from the client to manually grab a release).

I missed it in the OP, but currently you can’t force Sonarr to download a random release via the API, at this point I’m not sure if its something we will eventually support or not.

Thanks for the response,

I was sending to little information to Sonarr, this is now fixed. Thanks!

Markus, I would say no, we don’t need to support it.
