API-method append

Signature

int append(
  string NZBFilename, 
  string NZBContent, 
  string Category,
  int Priority, 
  bool AddToTop, 
  bool AddPaused, 
  string DupeKey,
  int DupeScore, 
  string DupeMode, 
  struct[] PPParameters
);

Add nzb-file or URL to download queue

Arguments

• NZBFilename (string) - name of nzb-file (with extension). This parameter can be an empty string if parameter Content contains an URL; in that case the file name is read from http headers. If NZBFilename is provided it must have correct extension (usually .nzb) according to file content. Files without .nzb-extension are not added to queue directly; all files however are sent to scan-scripts.
• Content (string) - content of nzb-file encoded with Base64 or URL to fetch nzb-file from.
• Category (string) - category for nzb-file. Can be empty string.
• Priority (int) - priority for nzb-file. 0 for normal priority, positive values for high priority and negative values for low priority. Downloads with priorities equal to or greater than 900 are downloaded and post-processed even if the program is in paused state (force mode). Default priorities are: -100 (very low), -50 (low), 0 (normal), 50 (high), 100 (very high), 900 (force).
• AddToTop (bool) - true if the file should be added to the top of the download queue or false if to the end.
• AddPaused (bool) - true if the file should be added in paused state. DupeKey (string) - duplicate key for nzb-file. See RSS.
• DupeScore (int) - duplicate score for nzb-file. See RSS.
• DupeMode (string) - duplicate mode for nzb-file. See RSS.
• PPParameters (array) - v16.0 post-processing parameters. The array consists of structures with following fields:
  • Name (string) - name of post-processing parameter.
  • Value (string) - value of post-processing parameter.

Return value

Positive number representing NZBID of the queue item. 0 and negative numbers represent error codes. Current version uses only error code 0, newer versions may use other error codes for detailed information about error.

with open(filename, "rb") as f:
    nzb_content = f.read()
base64_nzb_content = standard_b64encode(nzb_content).decode()
