Control Rclone from Swift using the remote control HTTP API with URLSession.
Swift calls Rclone's remote control API with URLSession, which is part of Foundation, so no third-party dependency is needed on Apple platforms.
Usage
The sample creates a data task for the root of the API. The completion handler prints the error if the request failed; otherwise it decodes the body as UTF-8 and prints it. RunLoop.main.run() keeps the program running so the asynchronous task can complete.
import Foundation
let url = URL(string: "http://localhost:5572/")!
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
if let error = error {
print("Error: \(error)")
return
}
if let data = data, let body = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print(body)
}
}
task.resume()
// Keep the program running for async task
RunLoop.main.run()Using async/await (iOS 15+, macOS 12+):
import Foundation
Task {
let url = URL(string: "http://localhost:5572/")!
let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
if let body = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print(body)
}
