命令行和自动化

GDM can be driven without its window in three ways:

• 应用程序自带的命令行，使用与 IDM 相同的开关：通过脚本、批处理文件或其他程序，将下载任务交给正在运行的应用程序。
• misterdownloadmanager-cli，一个独立的命令行工具：无需打开应用程序，即可在终端中下载文件、视频和种子，并显示进度。
• The automation API: other programs list the running app's downloads (as JSON) and pause, start, remove or delete them, over a local, token-protected channel. AI assistants use it through GDM's MCP server: see AI assistants.

To run the whole app without a window, on a home server or a NAS, see Run GDM on a server (misterdownloadmanager --headless); to control it from a phone, Control GDM from your phone.

示例使用 Windows 路径；在 macOS 和 Linux 上，程序名称相同，不带 .exe。

应用程序的命令行

misterdownloadmanager.exe /d URL [/p folder] [/f name] [/a] [/n] [/s]

Switches can start with / or -, in any case. If GDM is running, the command goes to it; if not, GDM starts and carries it out. For example:

misterdownloadmanager.exe /d https://example.com/files/report.pdf /p D:\Reports /n
misterdownloadmanager.exe /d https://example.com/big.iso /a
misterdownloadmanager.exe /s

misterdownloadmanager-cli

It comes with every download of GDM, next to the app (the installer puts it in GDM's folder). It works on its own: the app needn't run, except for status and api.

misterdownloadmanager-cli help <command>显示所有选项。如果命令失败（应用未运行，应用返回错误，下载中断），则以代码 1 退出。例如：

misterdownloadmanager-cli get https://example.com/big.iso -o D:\Downloads -c 16 --checksum sha256:9f86d0…
misterdownloadmanager-cli video-get "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqz-KE-bpKQ" -f "b[height=720]"
misterdownloadmanager-cli torrent-get "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:…" --files 0

用于脚本和程序的 JSON

使用 --json（在命令之前或之后），每个命令都会打印 JSON 而不是文本，每行一个对象，供脚本和 AI 代理读取：

大小以字节为单位（null 表示未知），速度以字节每秒为单位。失败会打印 {"error": "…"} 并以代码 1 退出。例如：

misterdownloadmanager-cli --json get https://example.com/big.iso -o D:\Downloads
{"event":"progress","downloaded":4194304,"size":1073741824,"speed":52428800,"connections":8,"segments":8}
…
{"event":"done","path":"D:\\Downloads\\big.iso","size":1073741824,"seconds":20.4}

自动化 API

其他程序可以询问正在运行的应用正在下载什么，并暂停、开始、移除或删除下载。API 默认关闭；使用 misterdownloadmanager-cli api on 开启（使用 api off 关闭）。

How a program talks to GDM

1. While it runs, GDM listens on a port of 127.0.0.1 (this computer only) and writes the port and a secret token to ipc.json in its data folder: - Windows: %APPDATA%\misterdownloadmanager\ipc.json - macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/misterdownloadmanager/ipc.json - Linux: ~/.local/share/misterdownloadmanager/ipc.json - A portable copy: data\ipc.json next to the program.

The token changes at every start; only programs that can read your data folder (yours) can use it. 2. Connect to that port and send one line of JSON: the token and the command's fields, e.g. {"token": "<token>", "query": "list"}. 3. GDM answers with one line: ok for a command, or a JSON object for a question.

支持的操作

当 API 关闭时，未知的问题或操作会得到{"error": "…"}的回答（此时会显示"code": "api-off"，供程序检查：错误文本可能会更改）。错误的令牌会得到denied的回答。

每个请求和回答都按字段在 JSON Schema 中描述：automation-api.schema.json（也在 https://misterdownloadmanager.com/automation-api.schema.json）。它由应用回答的代码生成，因此保持精确；程序可以根据它检查发送和读取的内容，或从中生成其类型。

示例

PowerShell (Windows):

$ep = Get-Content "$env:APPDATA\misterdownloadmanager\ipc.json" | ConvertFrom-Json
$client = New-Object Net.Sockets.TcpClient("127.0.0.1", $ep.port)
$stream = $client.GetStream()
$writer = New-Object IO.StreamWriter($stream); $reader = New-Object IO.StreamReader($stream)
$writer.WriteLine((@{ token = $ep.token; query = "list" } | ConvertTo-Json -Compress))
$writer.Flush()
$reader.ReadLine() | ConvertFrom-Json | Select-Object -ExpandProperty downloads | Format-Table file, status, downloaded, size
$client.Close()

Python：

import json, os, socket

ipc = os.path.join(os.environ["APPDATA"], "misterdownloadmanager", "ipc.json")  # see above elsewhere
ep = json.load(open(ipc))
with socket.create_connection(("127.0.0.1", ep["port"])) as s:
    s.sendall((json.dumps({"token": ep["token"], "query": "list"}) + "\n").encode())
    answer = json.loads(s.makefile().readline())
for d in answer["downloads"]:
    print(d["file"], d["status"], d["downloaded"], d["size"])

若要添加下载，请发送{"token": "…", "url": "https://example.com/a.zip", "silent": true}。
