Siad API

Sia uses semantic versioning and is backwards compatible to version v1.0.0.

API calls return either JSON or no content. Success is indicated by 2xx HTTP status codes, while errors are indicated by 4xx and 5xx HTTP status codes. If an endpoint does not specify its expected status code refer to #standard-responses.

There may be functional API calls which are not documented. These are not guaranteed to be supported beyond the current release, and should not be used in production.

Notes:

  • Requests must set their User-Agent string to contain the substring "Sia-Agent".
  • By default, siad listens on "localhost:9980". This can be changed using the --api-addr flag when running siad.
  • Do not bind or expose the API to a non-loopback address unless you are aware of the possible dangers.

Example GET curl call:

curl -A "Sia-Agent" "localhost:9980/wallet/transactions?startheight=1&endheight=250"

Example POST curl call:

curl -A "Sia-Agent" --data "amount=123&destination=abcd" "localhost:9980/wallet/siacoins"

Standard responses

Success

The standard response indicating the request was successfully processed is HTTP status code 204 No Content. If the request was successfully processed and the server responded with JSON the HTTP status code is 200 OK. Specific endpoints may specify other 2xx status codes on success.

Error

The standard error response indicating the request failed for any reason, is a 4xx or 5xx HTTP status code with an error JSON object describing the error.

{
    "message": String

    // There may be additional fields depending on the specific error.
}

Authentication

API authentication can be enabled with the --authenticate-api siad flag. Authentication is HTTP Basic Authentication as described in RFC 2617, however, the username is the empty string. The flag does not enforce authentication on all API endpoints. Only endpoints that expose sensitive information or modify state require authentication.

For example, if the API password is "foobar" the request header should include

Authorization: Basic OmZvb2Jhcg==

Units

Unless otherwise specified, all parameters should be specified in their smallest possible unit. For example, size should always be specified in bytes and Siacoins should be specified in hastings. JSON values returned by the API will also use the smallest possible unit, unless otherwise specified.

If a numbers is returned as a string in JSON, it should be treated as an arbitrary-precision number (bignum), and it should be parsed with your language's corresponding bignum library. Currency values are the most common example where this is necessary.

}

/host/storage/folders/add [POST]

adds a storage folder to the manager. The manager may not check that there is enough space available on-disk to support as much storage as requested

Query String Parameters (with comments)
path // Required
size // bytes, Required
Response

standard success or error response. See #standard-responses.

/host/storage/folders/remove [POST]

remove a storage folder from the manager. All storage on the folder will be moved to other storage folders, meaning that no data will be lost. If the manager is unable to save data, an error will be returned and the operation will be stopped.

path  // Required
force // bool, Optional, default is false
Response

standard success or error response. See #standard-responses.

/host/storage/folders/resize [POST]

path    // Required
newsize // bytes, Required
Response

standard success or error response. See #standard-responses.

/host/storage/sectors/delete/:merkleroot [POST]

  ]
}

/hostdb/hosts/:pubkey [GET] (example)

fetches detailed information about a particular host, including metrics regarding the score of the host within the database.

returns basic information about the wallet, such as whether the wallet is locked or unlocked.

JSON Response (with comments)

  "encrypted":  true,
  "unlocked":   true,
  "rescanning": false,

  "confirmedsiacoinbalance":     "123456", // hastings, big int

  "siacoinclaimbalance": "9001", // hastings, big int
}

/wallet/033x [POST]

loads a v0.3.3.x wallet into the current wallet, harvesting all of the secret keys. All spendable addresses in the loaded wallet will become spendable from the current wallet.

Query String Parameters (with comments)
source
encryptionpassword
Response

standard success or error response. See #standard-responses.

/wallet/address [GET]

gets a new address from the wallet generated by the primary seed. An error will be returned if the wallet is locked.

JSON Response (with comments)
{
  "address": "1234567890abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789ab"
}

/wallet/addresses [GET]

fetches the list of addresses from the wallet.

JSON Response (with comments)
{
  "addresses": [
    "1234567890abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789ab",
    "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"
  ]
}

/wallet/backup [GET]

creates a backup of the wallet settings file. Though this can easily be done manually, the settings file is often in an unknown or difficult to find location. The /wallet/backup call can spare users the trouble of needing to find their wallet file.

Parameters (with comments)
destination
Response

standard success or error response. See #standard-responses.

/wallet/init [POST]

initializes the wallet. After the wallet has been initialized once, it does not need to be initialized again, and future calls to /wallet/init will return an error. The encryption password is provided by the api call. If the password is blank, then the password will be set to the same as the seed.

Query String Parameters (with comments)
encryptionpassword
dictionary // Optional, default is english.
force // Optional, when set to true it will destroy an existing wallet and reinitialize a new one.
JSON Response (with comments)
{
  "primaryseed": "hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello"
}

/wallet/init/seed [POST]

initializes the wallet using a preexisting seed. After the wallet has been initialized once, it does not need to be initialized again, and future calls to /wallet/init/seed will return an error. The encryption password is provided by the api call. If the password is blank, then the password will be set to the same as the seed. Note that loading a preexisting seed requires scanning the blockchain to determine how many keys have been generated from the seed. For this reason, /wallet/init/seed can only be called if the blockchain is synced.

Query String Parameters (with comments)
encryptionpassword
dictionary // Optional, default is english.
seed
force // Optional, when set to true it will destroy an existing wallet and reinitialize a new one.
Response

standard success or error response. See #standard-responses.

/wallet/seed [POST]

gives the wallet a seed to track when looking for incoming transactions. The wallet will be able to spend outputs related to addresses created by the seed. The seed is added as an auxiliary seed, and does not replace the primary seed. Only the primary seed will be used for generating new addresses.

Query String Parameters (with comments)
encryptionpassword
dictionary
seed
Response

standard success or error response. See #standard-responses.

/wallet/seeds [GET]

returns the list of seeds in use by the wallet. The primary seed is the only seed that gets used to generate new addresses. This call is unavailable when the wallet is locked.

Query String Parameters (with comments)
dictionary
JSON Response (with comments)
{
  "primaryseed":        "hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello world hello",

    "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"
  ]
}

/wallet/siafunds [POST]

sends siafunds to an address. The outputs are arbitrarily selected from addresses in the wallet. Any siacoins available in the siafunds being sent (as well as the siacoins available in any siafunds that end up in a refund address) will become available to the wallet as siacoins after 144 confirmations. To access all of the siacoins in the siacoin claim balance, send all of the siafunds to an address in your control (this will give you all the siacoins, while still letting you control the siafunds).

Query String Parameters (with comments)
amount      // siafunds
destination // address
JSON Response (with comments)
{
  "transactionids": [
    "1234567890abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef",
