iPhone notification via Prowl

[UloPe]

Hi,

i made a quick script to notify me about finished downloads on my iPhone via Prowl:
You need the prowlpy library (there is a link on the Prowl site).

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

from prowlpy import Prowl

p = Prowl('YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE')
try:
    p.add("SABnzbd", "Download finished", '"%s" completed' % sys.argv[3])
except Exception, e:
    print e

I can't get this to work, can you tell me exactly what pre-req's are required and where they need to be put?

[UloPe]

Hi,

you need prowlpy.py which in turn needs httplib2.

Install httplib2 as described on the page. Then put prowlpy.py in the same directory as my script and you should be up and running.

Of course you also need a prowl account.

Hey there, I'm having an issue with this script. SABnzbd reports this output in the post-processing script when run:

Code: Select all

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/dasme/downloads/scripts/Prowl.py", line 5, in <module>
    from prowlpy import Prowl
  File "/Users/dasme/Downloads/scripts/prowlpy.py", line 12, in <module>
    import httplib2
ImportError: No module named httplib2

yet if I run the script manually (eg ./Prowl.py 1 2 3)I get a Prowl notification ("3" completed), so I know that httplib2 is installed and working. I'm new to Python, not having used it before so I'm wondering if this is a simple fix? I'm on OSX btw

thanks in advance for any tips!

Works brilliantly on my FreeBSD-box!! Thnx!

dasme,

I had the same error. To fix, install from the repo instead of installing manually

sudo apt-get install python-httplib2

Hi all.

I'd like to have Prowl notifications from sabnzbd only if the download is incomplete/error message - if that's possible. If anyone has a script, I'd be more than happy

add your prowl api key and save script as .py file and set as default script to run on sab
will notify you on complete downloads

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys,urllib

# Get clean NZB name
job_name = sys.argv[3]

# Prowl API settings - http://prowl.weks.net/api.php
# Set Prowl API
API = "enter the prowl api key here "
# Set Prowl priority. 0 - Normal, 2 - Emergency, -2 - Very Low
priority = "0"

# Set job title/event name
job_title = "Download%20Complete"

# Get current date/time and strip spaces
from time import gmtime, strftime
event_time = strftime("%d/%m/%y %H:%M")
event_time=event_time.replace(' ', '%20')

# URL encode chars from NZB name that cause issues
job_name=job_name.replace(' ', '%20')
job_name=job_name.replace('_', '%20')
job_name=job_name.replace('.', '%20')

# Send download complete notification to iPhone - swap 'job_title' for 'event_time' if completion time is required instead of 'Download Complete'
urllib.urlopen("https://prowl.weks.net/publicapi/add?apikey=" + API + "&priority=" + priority + "&application=SABnzbd&event=" + job_title + "&description=" + job_name)

Nice, thanks, changed to Download%20Incomplete, it works like a charm. Thanks again

I cant seem to get this to work
I'm using the same script as Se7en, however the script executes but fails with the following error:

Code: Select all

env: python
: No such file or directory

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Nurfballs]

Looks like i've fixed it by accident.

Originally, I created the script on my Windows machine, and used WinSCP to copy it to my linux box.
After making any changes to the script while troubleshooting, I would use the same method of editing it on my Windows machine and copying it back. Each time the script would fail with the same issue.

However, I found that if I edited the script using WinSCP directly on the linux box (instead of Notepad, and copying it back) - it seems to work. Code is exactly the same. Bizarre!

[shypike]

The bash shell gets confused when it reads a Windows text file,
because lines are terminated by a CR and an LF code (where Unix only uses LF).
The CR character is taken as part of the first line, so the "env" command looks for "python$",
where $ is the CR character.
The Python interpreter just ignores the extra characters.

Very interesting to know - thanks shypike!

Sorry to bump the old thread, but to make idmanagers script work, do I still need the prowl.py file and httplib2?
