## CLI Example Usage

### **1. Install QFieldCloud SDK**
Here it is typical user story, for **Bash** (Linux/macOS) and **PowerShell** (Windows):

To interact with the QFieldCloud API, start by installing the official QFieldCloud SDK:
### **Install QFieldCloud SDK**

```bash
To interact with the QFieldCloud API, start by installing the official QFieldCloud SDK. The installation command is the same for both Bash and PowerShell:

```shell
pip install qfieldcloud-sdk
```

Once installed, you're ready to manage your projects directly from the command line.
> Note: All values are enclosed in quotes, with single quotes (`'`) recommended for Bash (_but not mandatory_) and double quotes (`"`) for PowerShell.
### **2. Log in to QFieldCloud and Create a New Project**
### **Log in to QFieldCloud and Create a New Project**

First, log in to your QFieldCloud account.
Note that all values are enclosed in single or double quote characters, depending on your operating system's shell.

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli login "ninjamaster" "secret_password123"
```
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli login 'ninjamaster' 'secret_password123'
```

=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```powershell
qfieldcloud-cli login "ninjamaster" "secret_password123"
```

After signing in, the QFieldCloud CLI will output the value of the authentication token.
The authentication token will be sent to QFieldCloud API to authorize you instead of sending the username and password.
You can explicitly pass the authentication token via passing `--token` CLI argument for every command.

The easier approach is to set an environment variable with your token:

```bash
export QFIELDCLOUD_TOKEN="123abcXYZ987exampleToken"
```
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

```bash
export QFIELDCLOUD_TOKEN='123abcXYZ987exampleToken'
```

=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```powershell
$env:QFIELDCLOUD_TOKEN = "123abcXYZ987exampleToken"
```

#### Create a project

Create a project called "Tree_Survey" within your organization:
Create a project called `Tree_Survey` within your organization:

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli create-project --owner "My_Organization_Clan" --description "Daily work project" --is-private "Tree_Survey"
```
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli create-project --owner 'My_Organization_Clan' --description 'Daily work project' --is-private 'Tree_Survey'
```

=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```powershell
qfieldcloud-cli create-project --owner "My_Organization_Clan" --description "Daily work project" --is-private "Tree_Survey"
```

The project is now created in your QFieldCloud organization, and its project ID (e.g., `123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000`) is returned.
You’re now ready for file uploads.

### **3. Upload Local Files to QFieldCloud**
### **Upload Local Files to QFieldCloud**

Prepare your local project files and upload them to QFieldCloud. For example, if your files are located in `/home/ninjamaster/QField/cloud/Tree_survey`:
Prepare your local project files and upload them to QFieldCloud:

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli upload-files "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" "/home/ninjamaster/QField/cloud/Tree_survey"
```
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli upload-files '123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000' '/home/ninjamaster/QField/cloud/Tree_survey'
```

=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```powershell
qfieldcloud-cli upload-files "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" "C:\Users\ninjamaster\QField\cloud\Tree_survey"
```

You can also upload specific files by using the `--filter` option. For instance, to upload only `.gpkg` files:

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli upload-files "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" "/home/ninjamaster/QField/cloud/Tree_survey" --filter "*.gpkg"
```
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

### **4. Schedule and Trigger a Package Job**
```bash
qfieldcloud-cli upload-files '123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000' '/home/ninjamaster/QField/cloud/Tree_survey' --filter '*.gpkg'
```

Suppose your company packages the project every morning at 8:47 AM. You can automate this process using a cron job:
=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```bash
47 8 * * * qfieldcloud-cli job-trigger "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" package
```
```powershell
qfieldcloud-cli upload-files "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" "C:\Users\ninjamaster\QField\cloud\Tree_survey" --filter "*.gpkg"
```

This command triggers the package job daily at the specified time. Here's what the cron job format means:
### **Schedule and Trigger a Package Job**

- `47`: Minute (47th minute).
- `8`: Hour (8 AM).
- `*`: Every day of the month.
- `*`: Every month.
- `*`: Every day of the week.
Suppose your company packages the project every morning at 8:47 AM.:

To manually trigger a package job at any time:
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli job-trigger "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" package
```
```bash
47 8 * * * qfieldcloud-cli job-trigger '123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000' package
```

You can force the job to re-run even if one is already queued:
This triggers the package job daily at the specified time. For more information about [cronjob](https://crontab.guru/)

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli job-trigger "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" package --force
```
=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```powershell
schtasks /create /tn "QFieldCloud Job Trigger" /tr "qfieldcloud-cli job-trigger '123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000' package" /sc daily /st 08:47
```

This triggers the package job daily at the specified time. For more information about [schtasks](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/schtasks)

To manually trigger a package job at any time and force if require:

### **5. Monitor Job Status**
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli job-trigger '123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000' package --force
```

=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```powershell
qfieldcloud-cli job-trigger "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" package --force
```

### **Monitor Job Status**

After triggering a job, monitor its status to ensure successful completion:

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli list-jobs "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" --type package
qfieldcloud-cli job-status "321e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174987"
```
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli list-jobs '123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000' --type package
qfieldcloud-cli job-status '321e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174987'
```

### **6. Download Files for Backup**
=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```powershell
qfieldcloud-cli list-jobs "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" --type package
qfieldcloud-cli job-status "321e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174987"
```

### **Download Files for Backup**

Once the package job is complete, download the project files for backup. To download all files or filter specific ones (e.g., `.jpg` files):

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli package-download "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" "/home/ninjamaster/backup_folder/DCIM/2024-11-10/" --filter "*.jpg"
```
=== ":material-linux: Linux"

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli package-download '123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000' '/home/ninjamaster/backup_folder/DCIM/2024-11-10/' --filter '*.jpg'
```

=== ":material-microsoft-windows: Windows"

```

If files already exist locally and you want to overwrite them, use the `--force-download` option:

```bash
qfieldcloud-cli package-download "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000" "/home/ninjamaster/backup_folder/DCIM/2024-11-10/" --force-download
