"Invalid Request" - Trying to use API

[Sysem]

So, I'm trying to automate my torrent downloads using uTorrent. I have Ubuntu linux installed, so I've got the server running, and can easily access the WebUI. I'm planning on using the RSS feature to download certain torrents based on a filter (available in the Windows version as far as I know).

However, the WebUI doesnt seem to have this option (for the filters), but I did see that using the API I could edit the settings to add a filter. However, if I enter:

http://localhost:8080/gui/?list=1

or any other calls, I get "Invalid Request".

The IP and Port are the same to access the GUI so thats not the issue.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Sysem

Have you read up on the token authentication stuff?

Have you read up on the token authentication stuff?

Ok, I feel a bit retarded for not. But I have now. At the bottom of

https://github.com/bittorrent/webui/wiki/TokenSystem

it says I should fetch the token from /gui/token.html

Am I correct in this, as it doesn't seem to work?

EDIT:

Ok, I managed to get it. Sort of. I placed a div in the index html, and while viewing the source of the WebUI, I could get the token and perform the list call. What easier way is there to retrieve the token though?

EDIT2:

Got it working, realized the div tag inside the token.html file is hidden. Got everything working, thanks.
