Buddy Client

This crate contains a http client for the Buddy Board Web API that exist for the Prusa 3D printers. The API features endpoints related to Octoprint and Prusa's own PrusaLink service. The functions calls feature octo and v1 in their names for the two variants respectively.

The client provides both async and sync clients. The async client is on by default and the sync client can be activated using the blocking feature flag. The async feature can be removed by setting default-features = false in your Config.toml.

Example

Please see the examples folder for more examples but the following gives the general gist.

use buddy_client::{PrusaClient, structs::V1JobState};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let ip = "[PRINTER_IP_ADDRESS]"
    let key = "[PRINTER_API_KEY]";

    let client = PrusaClient::new_async(ip, key);

    let version = client.version().await.unwrap();
    println!("{:?}", version);
}
