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.

   "rpc-version" indicates the RPC interface version supported by the RPC server.
   It is incremented when a new version of Transmission changes the RPC interface.

   "rpc-version-minimum" indicates the oldest API supported by the RPC server.
   It is changes when a new version of Transmission changes the RPC interface
   in a way that is not backwards compatible.  There are no plans for this
   to be common behavior.

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.
