			<p>The hydrus client now supports a very simple API so you can access it with external programs.</p>
			<p>By default, the Client API is not turned on. Go to <i>services->manage services</i> and give it a port to get it started. I recommend you not allow non-local connections (i.e. only requests from the same computer will work) to start with.</p>
			<p>The Client API should start immediately. It will only be active while the client is open. To test it is running all correct (and assuming you used the default port of 45869), try loading this:</p>
			<a href="http://127.0.0.1:45869"><code>http://127.0.0.1:45869</code></a>
			<p>You should get a welcome page. By default, the Client API is HTTP, which means it is ok for communication on the same computer or across your home network (e.g. your computer's web browser talking to your computer's hydrus), but not secure for transmission across the internet (e.g. your phone to your home computer). You can turn on HTTPS, but due to technical complexities it will give itself a self-signed 'certificate', so the security is good but imperfect, and whatever is talking to it (e.g. your web browser looking at <a href="https://127.0.0.1:45869">https://127.0.0.1:45869</a>) may need to add an exception.</p>
			<p>The Client API is still experimental and sometimes not user friendly. If you want to talk to your home computer across the internet, you will need some networking experience. You'll need a static IP or reverse proxy service or dynamic domain solution like no-ip.org so your device can locate it, and potentially port-forwarding on your router to expose the port. If you have a way of hosting a domain and have a signed certificate (e.g. from <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let's Encrypt</a>), you can overwrite the client.crt and client.key files in your 'db' directory and HTTPS hydrus should host with those.</p>
			<p>Once the API is running, go to its entry in <i>services->review services</i>. Each external program trying to access the API will need its own access key, which is the familiar 64-character hexadecimal used in many places in hydrus. You can enter the details manually from the review services panel and then copy/paste the key to your external program, or the program may have the ability to request its own access while a mini-dialog launched from the review services panel waits to catch the request.</p>

			<h3 id="api"><a href="#api">API</a></h3>
			<p>In general, the API deals with standard UTF-8 JSON. POST requests and 200 OK responses are generally going to be a JSON 'Object' with variable names as keys and values obviously as values. There are examples throughout this document. For GET requests, everything is in standard GET parameters, but some variables are complicated and will need to be JSON encoded and then URL encoded. An example would be the 'tags' parameter on <a href="#get_files_search_files">GET /get_files/search_files</a>, which is a list of strings. Since GET http URLs have limits on what characters are allowed, but hydrus tags can have all sorts of characters, you'll be doing this:</p>
                        <ul>
                                <li>
                                    <p>Your list of tags:</p>
                                    <p><code>[ 'character:samus aran', 'creator:青い桜', 'system:height > 2000' ]</code></p>
                                </li>
                                <li>
                                    <p>JSON encoded:</p>
                                    <p><code>["character:samus aran", "creator:\\u9752\\u3044\\u685c", "system:height > 2000"]</code></p>
                                </li>
                                <li>
                                    <p>Then URL encoded:</p>
                                    <p><code>%5B%22character%3Asamus%20aran%22%2C%20%22creator%3A%5Cu9752%5Cu3044%5Cu685c%22%2C%20%22system%3Aheight%20%3E%202000%22%5D</code></p>
                                </li>
                                <li>
                                    <p>In python, converting your tag list to the URL encoded string would be:</p>
                                    <p><code>urllib.parse.quote( json.dumps( tag_list ) )</code></p>
                                </li>
                                <li>
                                    <p>Full URL path example:</p>
                                    <p><code>/get_files/search_files?file_sort_type=6&file_sort_asc=false&tags=%5B%22character%3Asamus%20aran%22%2C%20%22creator%3A%5Cu9752%5Cu3044%5Cu685c%22%2C%20%22system%3Aheight%20%3E%202000%22%5D</code></p>
                                </li>
                        </ul>
			<p>On 200 OK, the API returns JSON for everything except actual file/thumbnail requests. On 4XX and 5XX, assume it will return plain text, which may be a raw traceback that I'd be interested in seeing. You'll typically get 400 for a missing parameter, 401/403/419 for missing/insufficient/expired access, and 500 for a real deal serverside error.</p>
                        <h3 id="access"><a href="#access">Access and permissions</a></h3>
			<p>The client gives access to its API through different 'access keys', which are the typical 64-character hex used in many other places across hydrus. Each guarantees different permissions such as handling files or tags. Most of the time, a user will provide full access, but do not assume this. If the access header or parameter is not provided, you will get 401, and all insufficient permission problems will return 403 with appropriate error text.</p>
			<p>Access is required for every request. You can provide this as an http header, like so:</p>
			<ul>
				<li><p>Hydrus-Client-API-Access-Key : 0150d9c4f6a6d2082534a997f4588dcf0c56dffe1d03ffbf98472236112236ae</p></li>
			</ul>
			<p>Or you can include it as a GET or POST parameter on any request (except <i>POST /add_files/add_file</i>, which uses the entire POST body for the file's bytes). Use the same name for your GET or POST argument, such as:</p>
			<ul>
				<li><p>/get_files/thumbnail?file_id=452158&Hydrus-Client-API-Access-Key=0150d9c4f6a6d2082534a997f4588dcf0c56dffe1d03ffbf98472236112236ae</p></li>
			</ul>
			<p>There is now a simple 'session' system, where you can get a temporary key that gives the same access without having to include the permanent access key in every request. You can fetch a session key with the <a href="#session_key">/session_key</a> command and thereafter use it just as you would an access key, just with <i>Hydrus-Client-API-Session-Key</i> instead.</p>
			<p>Session keys will expire if they are not used within 24 hours, or if the client is restarted, or if the underlying access key is deleted. An invalid/expired session key will give a <b>419</b> result with an appropriate error text.</p>
			<p>Bear in mind the Client API is still under construction. Setting up the Client API to be accessible across the internet requires technical experience to be convenient. HTTPS is available for encrypted comms, but the default certificate is self-signed (which basically means an eavesdropper can't see through it, but your ISP/government could if they decided to target you). If you have your own domain and SSL cert, you can replace them though (check the db directory for client.crt and client.key). Otherwise, be careful about transmitting sensitive content outside of your localhost/network.</p>

						<p>These services may be referred to in various metadata responses or required in request parameters (e.g. where to add tag mappings). Note that a user can rename their services. Much of this Client API uses this renameable 'service name' as service identifier, but I may start using service key, which is non-mutable ID specific to each client. The hardcoded services have shorter service key strings (it is usually just 'all known files' etc.. ASCII-converted to hex), but user-made stuff will have 64-character hex.</p>

						<p>Mostly, hydrus simply trims excess whitespace, but the other examples are rare issues you might run into. 'system' is an invalid namespace, tags cannot be prefixed with hyphens, and any tag starting with ':' is secretly dealt with internally as "[no namespace]:[colon-prefixed-subtag]". Again, you probably won't run into these, but if you see a mismatch somewhere and want to figure it out, or just want to sort some numbered tags, you might like to try this.</p>

                                        <p>You can use either 'service_names_to...' or 'service_keys_to...', where names is simple and human-friendly "my tags" and similar (but may be renamed by a user), but keys is a little more complicated but accurate/unique. Since a client may have multiple tag services with non-default names and pseudo-random keys, if it is not your client you will need to check the <a href="#get_services">/get_services</a> call to get the names or keys, and you may need some selection UI on your end so the user can pick what to do if there are multiple choices. I encourage using keys if you can.</p>
                                        <p>Also, you can use either '...to_tags', which is simple and add-only, or '...to_actions_to_tags', which is more complicated and allows you to remove/petition or rescind pending content.</p>
					<p>The permitted 'actions' are:</p>
					<ul>
						<li>0 - Add to a local tag service.</li>
						<li>1 - Delete from a local tag service.</li>
						<li>2 - Pend to a tag repository.</li>
						<li>3 - Rescind a pend from a tag repository.</li>
						<li>4 - Petition from a tag repository. (This is special)</li>
						<li>5 - Rescind a petition from a tag repository.</li>
					</ul>
					<p>When you petition a tag from a repository, a 'reason' for the petition is typically needed. If you send a normal list of tags here, a default reason of "Petitioned from API" will be given. If you want to set your own reason, you can instead give a list of [ tag, reason ] pairs.</p>
					<p>Some example requests:</p>
					<p>Adding some tags to a file:</p>
<pre>{
	"hash" : "df2a7b286d21329fc496e3aa8b8a08b67bb1747ca32749acb3f5d544cbfc0f56",
	"service_names_to_tags" : {
		"my tags" : [ "character:supergirl", "rating:safe" ]

					<p>Adding more tags to two files:</p>

	"service_names_to_tags" : {
		"my tags" : [ "process this" ],
		"public tag repository" : [ "creator:dandon fuga" ]
	}
}</pre>
					<p>A complicated transaction with all possible actions:</p>
<pre>{
	"hash" : "df2a7b286d21329fc496e3aa8b8a08b67bb1747ca32749acb3f5d544cbfc0f56",
	"service_keys_to_actions_to_tags" : {
		"6c6f63616c2074616773" : {
			"0" : [ "character:supergirl", "rating:safe" ],
			"1" : [ "character:superman" ]
		},
		"aa0424b501237041dab0308c02c35454d377eebd74cfbc5b9d7b3e16cc2193e9" : {

			"4" : [ [ "creator:danban faga", "typo" ], [ "character:super_girl", "underscore" ] ]
			"5" : [ "skirt" ]
		}
	}
}</pre>
					<p>This last example is far more complicated than you will usually see. Pend rescinds and petition rescinds are not common. Petitions are also quite rare, and gathering a good petition reason for each tag is often a pain.</p>
					<p>Note that the enumerated status keys in the service_names_to_actions_to_tags structure are strings, not ints (JSON does not support int keys for Objects).</p>
					<p>Response description: 200 and no content.</p>
					<p>Note also that hydrus tag actions are safely idempotent. You can pend a tag that is already pended and not worry about an error--it will be discarded. The same for other reasonable logical scenarios: deleting a tag that does not exist will silently make no change, pending a tag that is already 'current' will again be passed over. It is fine to just throw 'process this' tags at every file import you add and not have to worry about checking which files you already added it to.</p>

					<p>If you specify a destination_page_name and an appropriate importer page already exists with that name, that page will be used. Otherwise, a new page with that name will be recreated (and used by subsequent calls with that name). Make sure it that page name is unique (e.g. '/b/ threads', not 'watcher') in your client, or it may not be found.</p>
					<p>Alternately, destination_page_key defines exactly which page should be used. Bear in mind this page key is only valid to the current session (they are regenerated on client reset or session reload), so you must figure out which one you want using the <a href="#manage_pages_get_pages">/manage_pages/get_pages</a> call. If the correct page_key is not found, or the page it corresponds to is of the incorrect type, the standard page selection/creation rules will apply.</p> 
					<p>show_destination_page defaults to False to reduce flicker when adding many URLs to different pages quickly. If you turn it on, the client will behave like a URL drag and drop and select the final page the URL ends up on.</p>
					<p>service_names_to_additional_tags and service_keys_to_additional_tags use the same data structure as in /add_tags/add_tags--service ids to a list of tags to add. You will need 'add tags' permission or this will 403. These tags work exactly as 'additional' tags work in a <i>tag import options</i>. They are service specific, and always added unless some advanced tag import options checkbox (like 'only add tags to new files') is set.</p>
					<p>filterable_tags works like the tags parsed by a hydrus downloader. It is just a list of strings. They have no inherant service and will be sent to a <i>tag import options</i>, if one exists, to decide which tag services get what. This parameter is useful if you are pulling all a URL's tags outside of hydrus and want to have them processed like any other downloader, rather than figuring out service names and namespace filtering on your end. Note that in order for a tag import options to kick in, I think you will have to have a Post URL URL Class hydrus-side set up for the URL so some tag import options (whether that is Class-specific or just the default) can be loaded at import time.</p>

The single/multiple arguments work the same--just use whatever is convenient for you.

Multiple hashes pointing to the same URL is unusual and frequently unhelpful.</p>

					<p>More system predicate types and input formats will be available in future. Please test out the system predicates you want to send. Reverse engineering system predicate data from text is obviously tricky. If a system predicate does not parse, you'll get 400.</p>
                                        <p>Also, OR predicates are now supported! Just nest within the tag list, and it'll be treated like an OR. For instance:</p>

					<p>File ids are internal and specific to an individual client. For a client, a file with hash H always has the same file id N, but two clients will have different ideas about which N goes with which H. They are a bit faster than hashes to retrieve and search with <i>en masse</i>, which is why they are exposed here.</p>
					<p>This search does <b>not</b> apply the implicit limit that most clients set to all searches (usually 10,000), so if you do system:everything on a client with millions of files, expect to get boshed. Even with a system:limit included, complicated queries with large result sets may take several seconds to respond. Just like the client itself.</p>

					<p>Size is in bytes. Duration is in milliseconds, and may be an int or a float.</p>
					<p>The service_names_to_statuses_to_tags and service_keys_to_statuses_to_tags structures are similar to the /add_tags/add_tags scheme, excepting that the status numbers are:</p>
					<ul>
						<li>0 - current</li>
						<li>1 - pending</li>
						<li>2 - deleted</li>
						<li>3 - petitioned</li>
					</ul>
                                        <p>The tag structure is duplicated for both 'name' and 'key'. The use of 'name' is an increasingly legacy issue--a hack when the Client API was young--and 'service_names_to...' lookups are likely to be deleted in future in favour of service_key. I recommend you move to service key when you can. To learn more about service names and keys on a client, use the <a href="#get_services">/get_services</a> call (and cache the response--it doesn't change much!).</p>
					<p>Note that since JSON Object keys must be strings, these status numbers are strings, not ints.</p>
					<p>While service_XXX_to_statuses_to_tags represent the actual tags stored on the database for a file, the service_XXX_to_statuses_to_<i>display</i>_tags structures reflect how tags appear in the UI, after siblings are collapsed and parents are added. If you want to edit a file's tags, start with service_keys_to_statuses_to_tags. If you want to render to the user, use service_keys_to_statuses_to_displayed_tags.</p>
					<p>If you add hide_service_names_tags=true, the 'service_names_to_statuses_to_tags' and 'service_names_to_statuses_to_display_tags' Objects will not be included. Use this to save data/CPU on large queries.</p>
					<p>If you add detailed_url_information=true, a new entry, 'detailed_known_urls', will be added for each file, with a list of the same structure as /add_urls/get_url_info. This may be an expensive request if you are querying thousands of files at once.</p>
                                        <p>For example:</p>

					<p>This is a hacky prototype. It commands the client database to pause its job queue and release its connection (and related file locks and journal files). This puts the client in a similar position as a long VACUUM command--it'll hang in there, but not much will work, and since the UI async code isn't great yet, the UI may lock up after a minute or two. If you would like to automate database backup without shutting the client down, this is the thing to play with.</p>
                                        <p>This should return pretty quick, but it will wait up to five seconds for the database to actually disconnect. If there is a big job (like a VACUUM) current going on, it may take substantially longer to finish that up and process this STOP command. You might like to check for the existence of a journal file in the db dir just to be safe.</p>
                                        <p>As long as this lock is on, all Client API calls except the unlock command will return 503. (This is a decent way to test the current lock status, too)</p>
