Syncthing exposes a REST interface over HTTP on the GUI port. This is used by
the GUI (from 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 API 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/browse
.sp
Returns a list of directories matching the path given by the optional parameter
\fBcurrent\fP\&. The path can use \fI\%patterns as described in Go’s filepath package\fP <\fBhttps://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/#Match\fP>\&. A ‘*’ will always be appended
to the given path (e.g. \fB/tmp/\fP matches all its subdirectories). If the option
\fBcurrent\fP is not given, filesystem root paths are returned.

The call takes one mandatory \fBfolder\fP parameter and two optional

.SS POST /rest/db/ignores
.sp
Expects a format similar to the output of \fBGET\fP call, but only
containing the \fBignore\fP field (\fBexpanded\fP field should be omitted).
It takes one parameter, \fBfolder\fP, and either updates the content of
the \fB\&.stignore\fP echoing it back as a response, or returns an error.
.SS GET /rest/db/need
.sp
Takes one mandatory parameter, \fBfolder\fP, and returns lists of files which are
needed by this device in order for it to become in sync.
.sp
Furthermore takes an optional \fBpage\fP and \fBperpage\fP 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:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP 1. 3
\fBprogress\fP has 15 items
.IP 2. 3
\fBqueued\fP has 3 items
.IP 3. 3
\fBrest\fP has 12 items
.UNINDENT
.sp
If you issue a query with \fBpage=1\fP and \fBperpage=10\fP, only the \fBprogress\fP
section in the response will have 10 items. If you issue a request query with
\fBpage=2\fP and \fBperpage=10\fP, \fBprogress\fP section will have the last 5 items,
\fBqueued\fP section will have all 3 items, and \fBrest\fP section will have first
2 items. If you issue a query for \fBpage=3\fP and \fBperpage=10\fP, you will only
have the last 10 items of the \fBrest\fP section.
.sp
In all these calls, \fBtotal\fP will be 30 to indicate the total number of
available items.

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

.SH EVENT ENDPOINTS
.SS GET /rest/events
.sp
To receive events, perform a HTTP GET of \fB/rest/events\fP\&.
.sp
To filter the event list, in effect creating a specific subscription for
only the desired event types, add a parameter
\fBevents=EventTypeA,EventTypeB,...\fP where the event types are any of the event\-types\&.
.sp
The optional parameter \fBsince=<lastSeenID>\fP sets the ID of the last event
you’ve already seen. Syncthing returns a JSON encoded array of event objects,
starting at the event just after the one with this last seen ID. The default
value is 0, which returns all events. 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<lastSeenID>\fP, 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 \fBtimeout=seconds\fP\&.
.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. This
can be used to catch up with the latest event ID after a disconnection for
example: \fB/rest/events?since=0&limit=1\fP\&.
