You can require the module like this

const { upload, download, getInfo, isValidWetransfertUrl } = require('wetransfert');

Use custom proxy

  • Add HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY environement variable

Download weTransfer content from url

download(url, folder)

The function take a valid wetransfer url and a destination folder

Simply return a PromiseProgress

The response is an object describing the weTransfert content

Example

const { download } = require('wetransfert');

download(myUrl, myDestinationFolder)
  .onProgress(progress => {
    console.log('progress', progress);
  })
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res); // success
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error('error  ', err);
  });

Download weTransfer file by ID

download(url, folder, fileIds)

  • fileIds: An array of wetransfer file id

Example

const { download } = require('wetransfert');

download(myUrl, myDestinationFolder, ['aaaaaaaaa'])
  .onProgress(progress => {
    console.log('progress', progress);
  })
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res); // success
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error('error  ', err);
  });

/!\ If your transfer contain only one file, wetransfer does not zip the content. Be carefull when using the downloadPipe function. You can obtain all files information using the getInfo function.

Download weTransfer content from url pipe response

  • (progress with callback)

downloadPipe(url)

This function take a valid wetransfer url. Like the classique download function, you can specify the file ids you want to download. downloadPipe(response.shortened_url, ["fileID"])

It return a Promise and resolve a ReadableStream you can pipe.

If you need a progress, you can obtain the total size with the getInfo function

Example

const { downloadPipe } = require('wetransfert');

downloadPipe(response.shortened_url, null)
  .then(files => {
      files.pipe(fs.createWriteStream("/home/orgrimarr/wetransfer/myDownload.zip"))
  })
  .catch(console.error)

/!\ If your transfer contain only one file, wetransfer does not zip the content. Be carefull when using the downloadPipe function. You can obtain all files information using the getInfo function.

isValidWetransfertUrl

Return a NodeJS URL object if the url is valid.

If not, it return false

    const toUpload = [
        new Payload({filePath: path.resolve(__dirname, './ressources/flower-3876195_960_720.jpg')}),
        new Payload({filePath: path.resolve(__dirname, './ressources/landscape-3779159_960_720.jpg')}),
        new Payload({

          name: "gnu_renamed.txt" // Overide file name
        }),
        new Payload({   // Upload a buffer
            name: "test buffer",
            buffer: Buffer.from("THIS IS A TEST BUFFER")
        }),
        new Payload({   // upload a stream
            name: "test stream from file",
            stream: fs.createReadStream(path.resolve(__dirname, './ressources/water-lily-3784022_960_720.jpg')),
            size: fs.statSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './ressources/water-lily-3784022_960_720.jpg')).size
        })
    ]

    const myUpload = upload('', '', toUpload, 'Hello World', 'en')
