# Onionr HTTP API
All HTTP interfaces in the Onionr reference client use the [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) web framework with the [gevent](http://www.gevent.org/) WSGI server.
## Client & Public difference
The client API server is a locked down interface intended for authenticated local communication.
The public API server is available only remotely from Tor & I2P. It is the interface in which peers use to communicate with one another.
# Client API
Please note: endpoints that simply provide static web app files are not documented here.
* /serviceactive/pubkey
- Methods: GET
- Returns true or false based on if a given public key has an active direct connection service.
* /queueResponseAdd/key (DEPRECATED)
- Methods: POST
- Accepts form key 'data' to set queue response information from a plugin
- Returns success if no error occurs
* /queueResponse/key (DEPRECATED)
- Methods: GET
- Returns the queue response for a key. Returns failure with a 404 code if a code is not set.
* /ping
- Methods: GET
- Returns "pong!"
* /getblocksbytype/type
- Methods: GET
- Returns a list of stored blocks by a given type
* /getblockbody/hash
- Methods: GET
- Returns the main data section of a block
* /getblockdata/hash
- Methods: GET
- Returns the entire data contents of a block, including metadata.
* /getblockheader/hash
- Methods: GET
- Returns the header (metadata section) of a block.
* /gethidden/
- Methods: GET
- Returns line separated list of hidden blocks
* /hitcount
- Methods: GET
- Return the amount of requests the public api server has received this session
* /lastconnect
- Methods: GET
- Returns the epoch timestamp of when the last incoming connection to the public API server was logged
* /site/hash
- Methods: GET
- Returns HTML content out of a block
* /waitforshare/hash
- Methods: POST
- Prevents the public API server from listing or sharing a block until it has been uploaded to at least 1 peer.
* /shutdown
- Methods: GET
- Shutdown Onionr. You should probably use /shutdownclean instead.
* /shutdownclean
- Methods: GET
- Tells the communicator daemon to shutdown Onionr. Slower but cleaner.
* /getstats
- Methods: GET
- Returns some JSON serialized statistics
* /getuptime
- Methods: GET
- Returns uptime in seconds
* /getActivePubkey
- Methods: GET
- Returns the current active public key in base32 format
* /getHumanReadable/pubkey
- Methods: GET
- Echos the specified public key in mnemonic format
* /insertblock
- Methods: POST
- Accepts JSON data for creating a new block. 'message' contains the block data, 'to' specifies the peer's public key to encrypt the data to, 'sign' is a boolean for signing the message.
* /torready
- Methods: POST
- Returns boolean if Tor is started or not
# Public API
v0
* /
- Methods: GET
- Returns a basic HTML informational banner describing Onionr.
* /getblocklist
- Methods: GET
- URI Parameters:
- date: unix epoch timestamp for offset
- Returns a list of block hashes stored on the node since an offset (all blocks if no timestamp is specified)
* /getdata/block-hash
- Methods: GET
- Returns data for a block based on a provided hash
* /www/file-path
- Methods: GET
- Returns file data. Intended for manually sharing file data directly from an Onionr node.
* /ping
- Methods: GET
- Returns 'pong!'
* /pex
- Methods: GET
- Returns a list of peer addresses reached within recent time
* /announce
- Methods: POST
- Accepts form data for 'node' (valid node address) and 'random' which is a nonce when hashed (blake2b_256) in the format `hash(peerAddress+serverAddress+nonce)`, begins with at least 5 zeros.
- Returns 200 with 'Success' if no error occurs. If the post is invalid, 'failure' with code 406 is returned.
* /upload
- Methods: POST
- Accepts form data for 'block' as a 'file' upload.
- Returns 200 with 'success' if no error occurs. If the block cannot be accepted, 'failure' with 400 is returned.
