API run a event

[tomimatko]

I'm experimenting a bit with the API. Is it possible to trigger a specific event in the scheduler via the API?
If yes, what would the command look like? For example, if the event is called "Dance"

http://IP:port/?user=USERNAME&pass=PASSWORD&action=schedule&type=run&Dance

Although action=schedule&type=list returns XML showing that the event "Dance" exists, it still keeps giving me E101: event does not exist.

OK, I got it. As I understand, it doesn’t work with the event name but with its ID.
First, I made http://IP:port/?user=USERNAME&pass=PASSWORD&action=schedule&type=list to see the event ID (or copy the event ID in the scheduler), and then I made
http://IP:port/?user=USERNAME&pass=PASSWORD&action=schedule&type=run&id=HJIOGDNOPHFDTHMJ

And everything works as it should.

Is there any way to run a makelibrary command with the file path in an event?

This is the command I use... How would that translate into an API command?

makelibrary <normalize:-1.0;skip> "2010s"|"D:\2010s"

You can create an event with the necessary command and then use the API to start this event.
Or you can call the command directly:

http://IP:Port/?pass=PASSWORD&cmd=makelibrary ...

Please note that you have to urlencode() the command parameter.

So what would the full path be if I wanted to apply the above parameters?
