SYNCTHING-REST-API(7)

NAME
syncthing-rest-api - REST API

DESCRIPTION

Syncthing exposes a REST interface over HTTP on the GUI port. This is used by the GUI code (JavaScript) and can be used by other processes wishing to control Syncthing. In most cases both the input and output data is in JSON format. The interface is subject to change.

API KEY

To use the REST AP an API key must be set and used. The API key can be generated in the GUI, or set in the configuration/gui/apikey element in the configuration file. To use an API key, set the request header X-API-Key to the API key value. For example, curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: abc123" http://localhost:8384/rest/... can be used to invoke with curl.

SYSTEM ENDPOINTS

  GET /rest/system/config

Returns the current configuration.

DATABASE ENDPOINTS

  GET /rest/db/browse

Returns the directory tree of the global model. Directories are always JSON objects (map/dictionary), and files are always arrays of modification time and size. The first integer is the files modification time, and the second integer is the file size.

The call takes one mandatory folder parameter and two optional parameters. Optional parameter levels defines how deep within the tree we want to dwell down (0 based, defaults to unlimited depth) Optional parameter prefix defines a prefix within the tree where to start building the structure.

$ curl -s http://localhost:8384/rest/db/browse?folder=default | json_pp

   "subdirectory": {}
}

NOTE: This is an expensive call, increasing CPU and RAM usage on the device. Use sparingly.

  GET /rest/db/completion

Returns the completion percentage (0 to 100) for a given device and folder. Takes device and folder parameters.

{
  "completion": 0
}

NOTE: This is an expensive call, increasing CPU and RAM usage on the device. Use sparingly.

  GET /rest/db/file

Returns most data available about a given file, including version and availability. Takes folder and file parameters.

{
  "availability": [
    "I6KAH76-66SLLLB-5PFXSOA-UFJCDZC-YAOMLEK-CP2GB32-BV5RQST-3PSROAU"

    ]
  }
}

  GET /rest/db/ignores

Takes one parameter, folder, and returns the content of the .stignore as the ignore field. A second field, expanded, provides a list of strings which represent globbing patterns described by gobwas/glob (based on standard wildcards) that match the patterns in .stignore and all the includes. If appropriate these globs are prepended by the following modifiers: ! to negate the glob, (?i) to do case insensitive matching and (?d) to enable removing of ignored files in an otherwise empty directory.

{
  "ignore": [
    "(?i)/Backups"
  ],
  "expanded": [
    "(?i)Backups",
    "(?i)Backups/**"
  ]
}

  POST /rest/db/ignores

Expects a format similar to the output of GET call, but only containing the ignore field (expanded field should be omitted). It takes one parameter, folder, and either updates the content of the .stignore echoing it back as a response, or returns an error.

  GET /rest/db/need

Takes one mandatory parameter, folder, and returns lists of files which are needed by this device in order for it to become in sync.

Furthermore takes an optional page and perpage arguments for pagination. Pagination happens, across the union of all needed files, that is - across all 3 sections of the response. For example, given the current need state is as follows:

1.  progress has 15 items

2.  queued has 3 items

3.  rest has 12 items

    If you issue a query with page=1 and perpage=10, only the progress section in the response will have 10 items. If you issue a request query with page=2 and perpage=10, progress section will have the last 5 items, queued section will have all 3 items, and rest section will have first 2 items. If you issue a query for page=3 and perpage=10, you will only have the last 10 items of the rest section.

    In all these calls, total will be 30 to indicate the total number of available items.

Request override of a send-only folder. Takes the mandatory parameter folder (folder ID).

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8384/rest/db/override?folder=default

  POST /rest/db/prio

Moves the file to the top of the download queue.

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8384/rest/db/prio?folder=default&file=foo/bar

Response contains the same output as GET /rest/db/need

  POST /rest/db/scan

Request immediate scan. Takes the optional parameters folder (folder ID), sub (path relative to the folder root) and next (time in seconds). If folder is omitted or empty all folders are scanned. If sub is given, only this path (and children, in case it's a directory) is scanned. The next argument delays Syncthing's automated rescan interval for a given amount of seconds.

Requesting scan of a path that no longer exists, but previously did, is valid and will result in Syncthing noticing the deletion of the path in question.

Returns status 200 and no content upon success, or status 500 and a plain text error if an error occurred during scanning.

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8384/rest/db/scan?folder=default&sub=foo/bar

  GET /rest/db/status

Returns information about the current status of a folder.

Parameters: folder, the ID of a folder.

EVENT ENDPOINTS

  Event API

  Description

Syncthing provides a simple long polling interface for exposing events from the core utility towards a GUI.

To receive events, perform a HTTP GET of /rest/events?since=<lastSeenID>, where <lastSeenID> is the ID of the last event you've already seen or zero. Syncthing returns a JSON encoded array of event objects, starting at the event just after the one with the last seen ID. There is a limit to the number of events buffered, so if the rate of events is high or the time between polling calls is long some events might be missed. This can be detected by noting a discontinuity in the event IDs.

If no new events are produced since <lastSeenID>, the HTTP call blocks and waits for new events to happen before returning. By default it times out after 60 seconds returning an empty array. The time out duration can be customized with the optional parameter timeout=seconds.

To receive only a limited number of events, add the limit=n parameter with a suitable value for n and only the last n events will be returned. This can be used to catch up with the latest event ID after a disconnection for example: /rest/events?since=0&limit=1.

  Event Structure

Each event is represented by an object similar to the following:

{
    "id": 2,
    "globalID": 3,
    "type": "DeviceConnected",
    "time": "2014-07-13T21:04:33.687836696+02:00",
    "data": {
        "addr": "172.16.32.25:22000",
        "id": "NFGKEKE-7Z6RTH7-I3PRZXS-DEJF3UJ-FRWJBFO-VBBTDND-4SGNGVZ-QUQHJAG"
    }
}

The top level keys id, globalID, time, type and data are always present, though data may be null.

id  A unique ID for this event on the events API. It always increases by 1: the first event generated has id 1, the next has id 2 etc. If this increases by more than 1, then one or more events have been skipped by the events API.

globalID
    A global ID for this event, across the events API, the audit log, and any other sources. It may increase by more than 1, but it will always be greater than or equal to the id.

time
    The time the event was generated.

type
    Indicates the type of (i.e. reason for) the event and is one of the event types below.

data
    An object containing optional extra information; the exact structure is determined by the event type.

  Event Types

  ConfigSaved

Emitted after the config has been saved by the user or by Syncthing itself.

{
    "id": 50,
    "type": "ConfigSaved",
    "time": "2014-12-13T00:09:13.5166486Z",
    "data": {
        "Version": 7,
        "Options": {"..."},
        "GUI": {"..."},
        "Devices": [{"..."}],
        "Folders": [{"..."}]
    }
}

  DeviceConnected

Generated each time a connection to a device has been established.

{
    "id": 2,
    "type": "DeviceConnected",
    "time": "2014-07-13T21:04:33.687836696+02:00",
    "data": {
        "addr": "172.16.32.25:22000",
        "id": "NFGKEKE-7Z6RTH7-I3PRZXS-DEJF3UJ-FRWJBFO-VBBTDND-4SGNGVZ-QUQHJAG",
        "deviceName": "Laptop",
        "clientName": "syncthing",
        "clientVersion": "v0.13.4",
        "type": "TCP (Client)"
    }
}

  DeviceDisconnected

Generated each time a connection to a device has been terminated.

{
    "id": 48,
    "type": "DeviceDisconnected",
    "time": "2014-07-13T21:18:52.859929215+02:00",
    "data": {

        "id": "NFGKEKE-7Z6RTH7-I3PRZXS-DEJF3UJ-FRWJBFO-VBBTDND-4SGNGVZ-QUQHJAG"
    }
}

NOTE: The error key contains the cause for disconnection, which might not necessarily be an error as such. Specifically, "EOF" and "unexpected EOF" both signify TCP connection termination, either due to the other device restarting or going offline or due to a network change.

  DeviceDiscovered

Emitted when a new device is discovered using local discovery.

{
    "id": 13,

    }
}

•   Total - total number of blocks in the file

•   Pulling - number of blocks currently being downloaded

•   CopiedFromOrigin - number of blocks copied from the file we are about to replace

•   Reused - number of blocks reused from a previous temporary file

•   CopiedFromElsewhere - number of blocks copied from other files or potentially other folders

•   Pulled - number of blocks actually downloaded so far

•   BytesTotal - approximate total file size

•   BytesDone - approximate number of bytes already handled (already reused, copied or pulled)

    Where block size is 128KB.

    Files/folders appearing in the event data imply that the download has been started for that file/folder, where disappearing implies that the downloads have been finished or failed for that file/folder. There is always a last event emitted with no data, which implies all downloads have finished/failed.

  FolderCompletion

The FolderCompletion event is emitted when the local or remote contents for a folder changes. It contains the completion percentage for a given remote device and is emitted once per currently connected remote device.

{
    "id": 84,
    "type": "FolderCompletion",
    "time": "2015-04-17T14:14:27.043576583+09:00",

        "device": "I6KAH76-66SLLLB-5PFXSOA-UFJCDZC-YAOMLEK-CP2GB32-BV5RQST-3PSROAU",
        "folder": "default"
    }
}

  FolderErrors

The FolderErrors event is emitted when a folder cannot be successfully synchronized. The event contains the ID of the affected folder and a list of errors for files or directories therein. This list of errors is obsolete once the folder changes state to syncing - if errors remain after the next synchronization attempt, a new FolderErrors event is emitted.

{
    "id": 132,
    "type": "FolderErrors",
    "time": "2015-06-26T13:39:24.697401384+02:00",
    "data": {
        "errors": [
            {

                "path": "h2j/aslkjd"
            }
        ],
        "folder": "default"
    }
}

New in version 0.11.12.

  FolderRejected

Emitted when a device sends index information for a folder we do not have, or have but do not share with the device in question.

{
    "id": 27,
    "type": "FolderRejected",
    "time": "2014-08-19T10:41:06.761751399+02:00",

        "folder": "GXWxf-3zgnU",
        "folderLabel": "My Pictures"
    }
}

  FolderSummary

The FolderSummary event is emitted when folder contents have changed locally. This can be used to calculate the current local completion state.

{
    "id": 16,
    "type": "FolderSummary",
    "time": "2015-04-17T14:12:20.460121585+09:00",

}

  GET /rest/events/disk

Returns local disk events that occur when the scanner detects local file system changes (local-change-detected) or when files are pulled from a remote device. In addition it returns ping events, such that this request returns after a minute, at the latest.

Optional GET parameters:

•   since (events starting after the given ID)

•   limit (return last x number of events)
