title: How to access Synology NAS drive using API
body: <p>I am newbie to synology. I want to access my Synology NAS drive. I followed <code>Synology_Download_Station_Official_API</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I read basic Working example to get API Information:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Step 1: Get API Information
    In order to make API requests, you should first request SYNO.API.Info to get the SYNO.API.Auth API 
    info for session login and SYNO.DownloadStation.Task API info for download task list.</p>
    
    <p>Request:</p>
    
    <p><a href="http://myds.com:5000/webapi/query.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Info&amp;version=1&amp;my=SYNO.API.Auth,SYNO.DownloadStation.Task" rel="nofollow">http://myds.com:5000/webapi/query.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Info&amp;version=1&amp;my=SYNO.API.Auth,SYNO.DownloadStation.Task</a></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I changed <strong>myds.com:5000</strong> with <strong>mydomain.com:3456</strong></p>
  
  <p>I created GET request but every time my request times out. Am i doing something wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Please guide as i am using it for first time.</p>
