.. _sec-api-fileops-retrievelocation:

Retrieve files from specific location
=====================================

.. http:get:: /api/files/(string:location)

   Retrieve information regarding the files currently available on the selected `location` and -- if targeting
   the ``local`` location -- regarding the disk space still available locally in the system.

   Returns a :ref:`Retrieve response <sec-api-fileops-datamodel-retrieveresponse>`.

   **Example**:

   :param location: The origin location from which to retrieve the files. Currently only ``local`` and ``sdcard`` are
                    supported, with ``local`` referring to files stored in OctoPrint's ``uploads`` folder and ``sdcard``
                    referring to files stored on the printer's SD card (if available).
   :statuscode 200: No error
   :statuscode 404: If `location` is neither ``local`` nor ``sdcard``

.. _sec-api-fileops-uploadfile:

Upload file
===========

.. http:post:: /api/files/(string:location)

   Upload a file to the selected `location`.

   Other than most of the other requests on OctoPrint's API which are expected as JSON, this request is expected as
   ``Content-Type: multipart/form-data`` due to the included file upload.

   Returns a :http:statuscode:`201` response with a ``Location`` header set to the management URL of the uploaded
   file and an :ref:`Upload Response <sec-api-fileops-datamodel-uploadresponse>` as the body upon successful completion.

                    the printer's SD card. If an upload targets the SD card, it will also be stored locally first.
   :form file:      The file to upload, including a valid ``filename``.

                    is disabled
   :statuscode 409: If the upload of the file would override the file that is currently being printed or if an upload
                    to SD card was requested and the printer is either not operational or currently busy with a print job.
   :statuscode 415: If the file is neither a ``gcode`` nor an ``stl`` file (or it is an ``stl`` file but slicing support
                    is disabled)
   :statuscode 500: If the upload failed internally

.. _sec-api-fileops-retrievefileinfo:

Retrieve a specific file's information
======================================

.. http:get:: /api/files/(string:location)/(path:filename)

   Retrieves the selected file's information.

   If the file is unknown, a :http:statuscode:`404` is returned.

   On success, a :http:statuscode:`200` is returned, with a :ref:`file information item <sec-api-datamodel-files-file>`
   as the response body.

   .. sourcecode:: http

      GET /api/files/local/whistle_v2.gcode HTTP/1.1

            "success": true
          }
        }
      }

   :param location: The location of the file for which to retrieve the information, either ``local`` or ``sdcard``.
   :param filename: The filename of the file for which to retrieve the information
   :statuscode 200: No error
   :statuscode 404: If `target` is neither ``local`` nor ``sdcard``, ``sdcard`` but SD card support is disabled or the
                    requested file was not found

.. _sec-api-fileops-filecommand:

Issue a file command
====================

.. http:post:: /api/files/(string:target)/(path:filename)

   Issue a file command to an existing file. Currently supported commands are:

   select
     Selects a file for printing. Additional parameters are:

     * ``print``: Optional, if set to ``true`` the file will start printing directly after selection. If the printer
       is not operational when this parameter is present and set to ``true``, the request will fail with a response
       of ``409 Conflict``.

   slice
     Slices an STL file into GCODE. Note that this is an asynchronous operation that will take place in the background
     after the response has been sent back to the client. Additional parameters are:

     * ``slicer``: The slicing engine to use, defaults to ``cura`` if not set, which is also the only supported slicer right now.
     * ``gcode``: Name of the GCODE file to generated, in the same location as the STL file. Defaults to the STL file name
       with extension ``.gco`` if not set.
     * ``position``: Position of the object-to-slice's center on the print bed. A dictionary containing both ``x`` and ``y``
       coordinate in mm is expected
     * ``printerProfile``: Name of the printer profile to use, if not set the default printer profile will be used.
     * ``profile``: Name of the slicing profile to use, if not set the default slicing profile of the slicer will be used.
     * ``profile.*``: Override parameters, the ``profile.`` prefix will be stripped and the matching profile key will
       be overridden with the supplied value. Use this if you want to specify things that change often like a different
       temperature, filament diameter or infill percentage. Profile keys are slicer specific.
     * ``select``: Optional, if set to ``true`` the file be selected for printing right after the slicing has finished. If the
       printer is not operational or already printing when this parameter is present and set to ``true``, the request will
       fail with a response of ``409 Conflict``
     * ``print``: Optional, if set to ``true`` the file be selected and start printing right after the slicing has finished.
       If the printer is not operational or already printing when this parameter is present and set to ``true``, the request
       will fail with a response of ``409 Conflict``. Note that if this parameter is set, the parameter ``select`` does not
       need to be set, it is automatically assumed to be ``true`` too, otherwise no printing would be possible.

     If consecutive slicing calls are made targeting the same GCODE filename (that also holds true if the default is used),
     the slicing job already running in the background will be cancelled before the new one is started. Note that this will
     also mean that if it was supposed to be directly selected and start printing after the slicing finished, this will not
     take place anymore and whether this will happen with the new sliced file depends entirely on the new request!

   Upon success, a status code of :http:statuscode:`204` and an empty body is returned, unless specified otherwise.
