filecount-api

Stupid simple REST API to list count of files with specified extension in specified directories.

This does not include any error handling and security stuff, so please don't actually use this for any public-available endpoints. I've created this small tool to monitor some directory sizes and display them in my HomeAssistant instance.

How to run

1. Build with Go go build
2. Create filecount-api-config.json (see example below)
3. Run filecount-api [PORT]
4. Consume http://localhost:[PORT]

Example config

{
  "Directories": [
    {
      "Path": "/var/www/foo",
      "Extension": ".xml",
      "FriendlyName": "foo"
    },
    {
      "Path": "/var/www/foo/bar",
      "Extension": ".xml",
      "FriendlyName": "bar"
    }
  ]
}

Example response

{
  "DirectoriesCounts": {
    "foo": {
      "Count": 2
    },
    "bar": {
      "Count": 3
    }
  }
}
