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. .SH API KEY .sp 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 \fBconfiguration/gui/apikey\fP element in the configuration file. To use an API key, set the request header \fBX\-API\-Key\fP to the API key value. For example, \fBcurl \-X POST \-H "X\-API\-Key: abc123" http://localhost:8384/rest/...\fP can be used to invoke with \fBcurl\fP\&. .SH SYSTEM ENDPOINTS .SS GET /rest/system/config .sp Returns the current configuration. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C { { "version": 15, "folders": [ { "id": "GXWxf\-3zgnU", "label": "MyFolder", "path": "...", "type": "readwrite", "devices": [ { "deviceID": "..." } ], "rescanIntervalS": 60, "ignorePerms": false, "autoNormalize": true, "minDiskFreePct": 1, "versioning": { "type": "", "params": {} }, "copiers": 0, "pullers": 0, "hashers": 0, "order": "random", "ignoreDelete": false, "scanProgressIntervalS": 0, "pullerSleepS": 0, "pullerPauseS": 0, "maxConflicts": 10, "disableSparseFiles": false, "disableTempIndexes": false, "fsync": false, "invalid": "" } ], "devices": [ { "deviceID": "...", "name": "Laptop", "addresses": [ "dynamic", "tcp://192.168.1.2:22000" ], "compression": "metadata", "certName": "", "introducer": false } ], "gui": { "enabled": true, "address": "127.0.0.1:8384", "user": "Username", "password": "$2a$10$ZFws69T4FlvWwsqeIwL.TOo5zOYqsa/.TxlUnsGYS.j3JvjFTmxo6", "useTLS": false, "apiKey": "pGahcht56664QU5eoFQW6szbEG6Ec2Cr", "insecureAdminAccess": false, "theme": "default" }, "options": { "listenAddresses": [ "default" ], "globalAnnounceServers": [ "default" ], "globalAnnounceEnabled": true, "localAnnounceEnabled": true, "localAnnouncePort": 21027, "localAnnounceMCAddr": "[ff12::8384]:21027", "maxSendKbps": 0, "maxRecvKbps": 0, "reconnectionIntervalS": 60, "relaysEnabled": true, "relayReconnectIntervalM": 10, "startBrowser": false, "natEnabled": true, "natLeaseMinutes": 60, "natRenewalMinutes": 30, "natTimeoutSeconds": 10, "urAccepted": \-1, "urUniqueId": "", "urURL": "https://data.syncthing.net/newdata", "urPostInsecurely": false, "urInitialDelayS": 1800, "restartOnWakeup": true, "autoUpgradeIntervalH": 12, "keepTemporariesH": 24, "cacheIgnoredFiles": false, "progressUpdateIntervalS": 5, "symlinksEnabled": true, "limitBandwidthInLan": false, "minHomeDiskFreePct": 1, "releasesURL": "https://upgrades.syncthing.net/meta.json", "alwaysLocalNets": [], "overwriteRemoteDeviceNamesOnConnect": false, "tempIndexMinBlocks": 10 }, "ignoredDevices": [] } } .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SS GET /rest/system/config/insync .sp Returns whether the config is in sync, i.e. whether the running configuration is the same as that on disk. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C { "configInSync": true } .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SS POST /rest/system/config .sp Post the full contents of the configuration, in the same format as returned by the corresponding GET request.

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. .sp If no new events are produced since \fB\fP, the HTTP call blocks and waits for new events to happen before returning, or if no new events are produced within 60 seconds, times out. .sp To receive only a limited number of events, add the \fBlimit=n\fP parameter with a suitable value for \fBn\fP and only the \fIlast\fP \fBn\fP events will be returned.
