Command-line tool for browsing, downloading and uploading using the mover.io API. Requires a move.io account, a linked storage space (i.e. a "connector" such as Dropbox) and private user API keys available with the mover.io account.

mover.rb

#!/usr/bin/ruby

# mover.rb
# general purpose utility for finding, getting and uploading files using the mover.io API.

# YAML config file is required in ~/.mover, contains API IDs and keys provided by mover.io. Example db.yaml:
#      ---
#      connector: mover_connector_ID
#      app_id: mover_user_app_ID
#      app_secret: mover_user_secret_key

# Directory: mover.rb config list [ID]
# Omit ID to show root level of connector
#    $ mover.rb db list | grep testfile.txt
#    file textfile.txt  aVF2aBL

# Download: mover.rb config get remote_ID local_file
#    $ mover.rb db get aVF2aBL testfile.txt

# Upload: mover.rb config put file destID
# Returns ID of uploaded file
#    $ mover.rb db list | grep folder
#    folder Textfiles QL53aJz
#    $ mover.rb db put localfile.txt QL53aJz
#    {"id":"LR321lfmAur"}

Hi there

thank you for sharing.

Do you know if this still works now as mover was taken over by Microsoft?

I am trying to get more Information about the API but all end in 404. A support technician mentioned even that they do not offer direct API access any more

They discontinued the public mover API several years ago. At that time I switched to a service called Kloudless, but I haven’t used it for years now, so I’m not sure if it’s still an effective replacement.

Mover itself works still nicely, just no API.

Guess I need to parse the HTML that the Browser return 😬

thanks for the quick Feedback 😁
