Control RcloneView Remotely with the Rclone RC API
Unlock programmatic control over your cloud storage operations using rclone's built-in RC API, integrated seamlessly with RcloneView.
Rclone ships with a powerful REST API called the RC (Remote Control) interface. This API exposes nearly every rclone operation as an HTTP endpoint, allowing you to start transfers, monitor progress, manage mounts, and query statistics from any programming language or automation tool. RcloneView leverages this same RC API under the hood for its GUI operations, which means anything you can do in the interface can also be done programmatically. This guide covers the RC API from first principles through advanced automation, giving you the knowledge to build custom integrations, monitoring dashboards, and automated workflows around your cloud storage operations.
