1. Introduction
|
|
|
|
This document describes a protocol for interacting with Transmission
|
|
sessions remotely.
|
|
|
|
1.1 Terminology
|
|
|
|
The JSON terminology in RFC 4627 is used.
|
|
|
|
JSON is fairly common now, but for the benefit of
|
|
torrent developers familiar with benc:
|
|
a JSON array is equivalent to a benc list,
|
|
a JSON object is equivalent to a benc dictionary,
|
|
and a JSON object's keys are the dictionary's string keys.
|
|
|
|
1.2 Resources
|
|
|
|
The command-line utility "transmission-remote" uses this RPC API.
|
|
Several developers have reported using its --debug JSON output as
|
|
a reference when developing/debugging their own code.
|
|
|
|
2. Message Format
|
|
|
|
Messages are formatted as objects. There are two types:
|
|
requests (described in 2.1) and responses (described in 2.2).
|
|
|
|
All text MUST be UTF-8 encoded.
|
|
|
|
2.1. Requests
|
|
|
|
Requests support three keys:
|
|
|
|
(1) A required "method" string telling the name of the method to invoke
|
|
(2) An optional "arguments" object of key/value pairs
|
|
(3) An optional "tag" number used by clients to track responses.
|
|
If provided by a request, the response MUST include the same tag.
|
|
|
|
2.2. Responses
|
|
|
|
Responses support three keys:
|
|
|
|
(1) A required "result" string whose value MUST be "success" on success,
|
|
or an error string on failure.
|
|
(2) An optional "arguments" object of key/value pairs
|
|
(3) An optional "tag" number as described in 2.1.
|
|
|
|
2.3. Transport Mechanism
|
|
|
|
HTTP POSTing a JSON-encoded request is the preferred way of communicating
|
|
with a Transmission RPC server. The current Transmission implementation
|
|
has the default URL as http://host:9091/transmission/rpc. Clients
|
|
may use this as a default, but should allow the URL to be reconfigured,
|
|
since the port and path may be changed to allow mapping and/or multiple
|
|
daemons to run on a single server.
|
|
|
|
2.3.1. CSRF Protection
|
|
|
|
Most Transmission RPC servers require a X-Transmission-Session-Id
|
|
header to be sent with requests, to prevent CSRF attacks.
|
|
|
|
When your request has the wrong id -- such as when you send your first
|
|
request, or when the server expires the CSRF token -- the
|
|
Transmission RPC server will return an HTTP 409 error with the
|
|
right X-Transmission-Session-Id in its own headers.
|
|
|
|
So, the correct way to handle a 409 response is to update your
|
|
X-Transmission-Session-Id and to resend the previous request.
|
|
|
|
2.3.2. DNS Rebinding Protection
|
|
|
|
Additional check is being made on each RPC request to make sure that the
|
|
client sending the request does so using one of the allowed hostnames by
|
|
which RPC server is meant to be available.
|
|
|
|
If host whitelisting is enabled (which is true by default), Transmission
|
|
inspects the "Host:" HTTP header value (with port stripped, if any) and
|
|
matches it to one of the whitelisted names. Regardless of host whitelist
|
|
content, "localhost" and "localhost." domain names as well as all the IP
|
|
addresses are always implicitly allowed.
|
|
|
|
For more information on configuration, see settings.json documentation for
|
|
"rpc-host-whitelist-enabled" and "rpc-host-whitelist" keys.
|
|
|
|
3. Torrent Requests
|
|
|
|
3.1. Torrent Action Requests
|
|
|
|
Method name | libtransmission function
|
|
---------------------+-------------------------------------------------
|
|
"torrent-start" | tr_torrentStart
|
|
"torrent-start-now" | tr_torrentStartNow
|
|
"torrent-stop" | tr_torrentStop
|
|
"torrent-verify" | tr_torrentVerify
|
|
"torrent-reannounce" | tr_torrentManualUpdate ("ask tracker for more peers")
|
|
|
|
Request arguments: "ids", which specifies which torrents to use.
|
|
All torrents are used if the "ids" argument is omitted.
|
|
"ids" should be one of the following:
|
|
(1) an integer referring to a torrent id
|
|
(2) a list of torrent id numbers, sha1 hash strings, or both
|
|
(3) a string, "recently-active", for recently-active torrents
|
|
|
|
Response arguments: none
|
|
|
|
3.2. Torrent Mutators
|
|
|
|
Method name: "torrent-set"
|
|
|
|
Request arguments:
|
|
|
|
string | value type & description
|
|
----------------------+-------------------------------------------------
|
|
"bandwidthPriority" | number this torrent's bandwidth tr_priority_t
|
|
"downloadLimit" | number maximum download speed (KBps)
|
|
"downloadLimited" | boolean true if "downloadLimit" is honored
|
|
"files-wanted" | array indices of file(s) to download
|
|
"files-unwanted" | array indices of file(s) to not download
|
|
"honorsSessionLimits" | boolean true if session upload limits are honored
|
|
"ids" | array torrent list, as described in 3.1
|
|
"labels" | array array of string labels
|
|
"location" | string new location of the torrent's content
|
|
"peer-limit" | number maximum number of peers
|
|
"priority-high" | array indices of high-priority file(s)
|
|
"priority-low" | array indices of low-priority file(s)
|
|
"priority-normal" | array indices of normal-priority file(s)
|
|
"queuePosition" | number position of this torrent in its queue [0...n)
|
|
"seedIdleLimit" | number torrent-level number of minutes of seeding inactivity
|
|
"seedIdleMode" | number which seeding inactivity to use. See tr_idlelimit
|
|
"seedRatioLimit" | double torrent-level seeding ratio
|
|
"seedRatioMode" | number which ratio to use. See tr_ratiolimit
|
|
"trackerAdd" | array strings of announce URLs to add
|
|
"trackerRemove" | array ids of trackers to remove
|
|
"trackerReplace" | array pairs of <trackerId/new announce URLs>
|
|
"uploadLimit" | number maximum upload speed (KBps)
|
|
"uploadLimited" | boolean true if "uploadLimit" is honored
|
|
|
|
Just as an empty "ids" value is shorthand for "all ids", using an empty array
|
|
for "files-wanted", "files-unwanted", "priority-high", "priority-low", or
|
|
"priority-normal" is shorthand for saying "all files".
|
|
|
|
Response arguments: none
|
|
|
|
3.3. Torrent Accessors
|
|
|
|
Method name: "torrent-get".
|
|
|
|
Request arguments:
|
|
|
|
(1) An optional "ids" array as described in 3.1.
|
|
(2) A required "fields" array of keys. (see list below)
|
|
(3) An optional "format" string specifying how to format the
|
|
"torrents" response field. Allowed values are "objects" (default)
|
|
and "table". (see "Response arguments" below)
|
|
|
|
Response arguments:
|
|
|
|
(1) A "torrents" array.
|
|
|
|
If the "format" request was "objects" (default), "torrents" will
|
|
be an array of objects, each of which contains the key/value
|
|
pairs matching the request's "fields" arg. This was the only
|
|
format before Transmission 3 and has some obvious programmer
|
|
conveniences, such as parsing directly into Javascript objects.
|
|
|
|
If the format was "table", then "torrents" will be an array of
|
|
arrays. The first row holds the keys and each remaining row holds
|
|
a torrent's values for those keys. This format is more efficient
|
|
in terms of JSON generation and JSON parsing.
|
|
|
|
(2) If the request's "ids" field was "recently-active",
|
|
a "removed" array of torrent-id numbers of recently-removed
|
|
torrents.
|
|
|
|
Note: For more information on what these fields mean, see the comments
|
|
in libtransmission/transmission.h. The "source" column here
|
|
corresponds to the data structure there.

5.1. Upcoming Breakage
|
|
|
|
These features will be removed three months after 2.80's release:
|
|
|
|
1. session-get's 'download-dir-free-space' argument will be removed.
|
|
Its functionality has been superceded by the 'free-space' method.
|
|
|
|
2. HTTP POSTs to http://server:port/transmission/upload will fail.
|
|
This was an undocumented hack to allow web clients to add files without
|
|
client-side access to the file. This functionality is superceded by
|
|
using HTML5's FileReader object + the documented 'torrent-add' method.
|
