Verify Process to upload gcode model to server

3DPrintingGnome · May 2020

I am planning to use this api call

http://localhost:3344/printer/model/<slug>?a=upload&sess=<session key>&name=<file name>&group=<groupname>

to send sliced gcode directly to the printer from my slicer. I'm guessing I need to open a WebSocket as well in order to get the SessionId and I'll need to keep that socket open during the entire process. One question I had was can I use the REST Api to initiate that socket like other WS commands or do I have to specifically open a valid WebSocket connection. I'm assuming yes.

Thanks for a killer product, looking forward to getting my code working to upload from my slicer.

No websocket required. See e.g. this article
https://www.repetier-server.com/using-simplify-3d-repetier-server/
showing how to upload a file using curl. Key is to send api-key in header so no session is required.

Okay I had tried that with PAW and API Testing platform, might have something else wrong there. That being said I don't believe I've read that article. Thank you for the link.
