# API server
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes Klipper's Application Programmer Interface
|
||||
(API). This interface enables external applications to query and
|
||||
control the Klipper host software.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enabling the API socket
|
||||
|
||||
In order to use the API server, the klippy.py host software must be
|
||||
started with the `-a` parameter. For example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/klippy-env/bin/python ~/klipper/klippy/klippy.py ~/printer.cfg -a /tmp/klippy_uds -l /tmp/klippy.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This causes the host software to create a Unix Domain Socket. A client
|
||||
can then open a connection on that socket and send commands to
|
||||
Klipper.
|
||||
|
||||
See the [Moonraker](https://github.com/Arksine/moonraker) project for
|
||||
a popular tool that can forward HTTP requests to Klipper's API Server
|
||||
Unix Domain Socket.
|
||||
|
||||
## Request format
|
||||
|
||||
Messages sent and received on the socket are JSON encoded strings
|
||||
terminated by an ASCII 0x03 character:
|
||||
```
|
||||
<json_object_1><0x03><json_object_2><0x03>...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Klipper contains a `scripts/whconsole.py` tool that can perform the
|
||||
above message framing. For example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/klipper/scripts/whconsole.py /tmp/klippy_uds
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This tool can read a series of JSON commands from stdin, send them to
|
||||
Klipper, and report the results. The tool expects each JSON command to
|
||||
be on a single line, and it will automatically append the 0x03
|
||||
terminator when transmitting a request. (The Klipper API server does
|
||||
not have a newline requirement.)
|
||||
|
||||
## API Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
The command protocol used on the communication socket is inspired by
|
||||
[json-rpc](https://www.jsonrpc.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
A request might look like:
|
||||
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "info", "params": {}}`
|
||||
|
||||
and a response might look like:
|
||||
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {"state_message": "Printer is ready",
|
||||
"klipper_path": "/home/pi/klipper", "config_file":
|
||||
"/home/pi/printer.cfg", "software_version": "v0.8.0-823-g883b1cb6",
|
||||
"hostname": "octopi", "cpu_info": "4 core ARMv7 Processor rev 4
|
||||
(v7l)", "state": "ready", "python_path":
|
||||
"/home/pi/klippy-env/bin/python", "log_file": "/tmp/klippy.log"}}`
|
||||
|
||||
Each request must be a JSON dictionary. (This document uses the Python
|
||||
term "dictionary" to describe a "JSON object" - a mapping of key/value
|
||||
pairs contained within `{}`.)
|
||||
|
||||
The request dictionary must contain a "method" parameter that is the
|
||||
string name of an available Klipper "endpoint".
|
||||
|
||||
The request dictionary may contain a "params" parameter which must be
|
||||
of a dictionary type. The "params" provide additional parameter
|
||||
information to the Klipper "endpoint" handling the request. Its
|
||||
content is specific to the "endpoint".
|
||||
|
||||
The request dictionary may contain an "id" parameter which may be of
|
||||
any JSON type. If "id" is present then Klipper will respond to the
|
||||
request with a response message containing that "id". If "id" is
|
||||
omitted (or set to a JSON "null" value) then Klipper will not provide
|
||||
any response to the request. A response message is a JSON dictionary
|
||||
containing "id" and "result". The "result" is always a dictionary -
|
||||
its contents are specific to the "endpoint" handling the request.
|
||||
|
||||
If the processing of a request results in an error, then the response
|
||||
message will contain an "error" field instead of a "result" field. For
|
||||
example, the request:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "gcode/script", "params": {"script": "G1
|
||||
X200"}}`
|
||||
might result in an error response such as:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "error": {"message": "Must home axis
|
||||
first: 200.000 0.000 0.000 [0.000]", "error": "WebRequestError"}}`
|
||||
|
||||
Klipper will always start processing requests in the order that they
|
||||
are received. However, some request may not complete immediately,
|
||||
which could cause the associated response to be sent out of order with
|
||||
respect to responses from other requests. A JSON request will never
|
||||
pause the processing of future JSON requests.
|
||||
|
||||
## Subscriptions
|
||||
|
||||
Some Klipper "endpoint" requests allow one to "subscribe" to future
|
||||
asynchronous update messages.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "gcode/subscribe_output", "params":
|
||||
{"response_template":{"key": 345}}}`
|
||||
|
||||
may initially respond with:
|
||||
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {}}`
|
||||
|
||||
and cause Klipper to send future messages similar to:
|
||||
|
||||
`{"params": {"response": "ok B:22.8 /0.0 T0:22.4 /0.0"}, "key": 345}`
|
||||
|
||||
A subscription request accepts a "response_template" dictionary in the
|
||||
"params" field of the request. That "response_template" dictionary is
|
||||
used as a template for future asynchronous messages - it may contain
|
||||
arbitrary key/value pairs. When sending these future asynchronous
|
||||
messages, Klipper will add a "params" field containing a dictionary
|
||||
with "endpoint" specific contents to the response template and then
|
||||
send that template. If a "response_template" field is not provided
|
||||
then it defaults to an empty dictionary (`{}`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Available "endpoints"
|
||||
|
||||
By convention, Klipper "endpoints" are of the form
|
||||
`<module_name>/<some_name>`. When making a request to an "endpoint",
|
||||
the full name must be set in the "method" parameter of the request
|
||||
dictionary (eg, `{"method"="gcode/restart"}`).
|
||||
|
||||
### info
|
||||
|
||||
The "info" endpoint is used to obtain system and version information
|
||||
from Klipper. It is also used to provide the client's version
|
||||
information to Klipper. For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "info", "params": { "client_info": { "version":
|
||||
"v1"}}}`
|
||||
|
||||
If present, the "client_info" parameter must be a dictionary, but that
|
||||
dictionary may have arbitrary contents. Clients are encouraged to
|
||||
provide the name of the client and its software version when first
|
||||
connecting to the Klipper API server.
|
||||
|
||||
### emergency_stop
|
||||
|
||||
The "emergency_stop" endpoint is used to instruct Klipper to
|
||||
transition to a "shutdown" state. It behaves similarly to the G-Code
|
||||
`M112` command. For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "emergency_stop"}`
|
||||
|
||||
### register_remote_method
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint allows clients to register methods that can be called
|
||||
from klipper. It will return an empty object upon success.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "register_remote_method",
|
||||
"params": {"response_template": {"action": "run_paneldue_beep"},
|
||||
"remote_method": "paneldue_beep"}}`
|
||||
will return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {}}`
|
||||
|
||||
The remote method `paneldue_beep` may now be called from Klipper. Note
|
||||
that if the method takes parameters they should be provided as keyword
|
||||
arguments. Below is an example of how it may called from a gcode_macro:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[gcode_macro PANELDUE_BEEP]
|
||||
gcode:
|
||||
{action_call_remote_method("paneldue_beep", frequency=300, duration=1.0)}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When the PANELDUE_BEEP gcode macro is executed, Klipper would send something
|
||||
like the following over the socket:
|
||||
`{"action": "run_paneldue_beep",
|
||||
"params": {"frequency": 300, "duration": 1.0}}`
|
||||
|
||||
### objects/list
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint queries the list of available printer "objects" that one
|
||||
may query (via the "objects/query" endpoint). For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "objects/list"}`
|
||||
might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {"objects":
|
||||
["webhooks", "configfile", "heaters", "gcode_move", "query_endstops",
|
||||
"idle_timeout", "toolhead", "extruder"]}}`
|
||||
|
||||
### objects/query
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint allows one to query information from printer objects.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "objects/query", "params": {"objects":
|
||||
{"toolhead": ["position"], "webhooks": null}}}`
|
||||
might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {"status": {"webhooks": {"state": "ready",
|
||||
"state_message": "Printer is ready"}, "toolhead": {"position":
|
||||
[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]}}, "eventtime": 3051555.377933684}}`
|
||||
|
||||
The "objects" parameter in the request must be a dictionary containing
|
||||
the printer objects that are to be queried - the key contains the
|
||||
printer object name and the value is either "null" (to query all
|
||||
fields) or a list of field names.
|
||||
|
||||
The response message will contain a "status" field containing a
|
||||
dictionary with the queried information - the key contains the printer
|
||||
object name and the value is a dictionary containing its fields. The
|
||||
response message will also contain an "eventtime" field containing the
|
||||
timestamp from when the query was taken.
|
||||
|
||||
Available fields are documented in the
|
||||
[Status Reference](Status_Reference.md) document.
|
||||
|
||||
### objects/subscribe
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint allows one to query and then subscribe to information
|
||||
from printer objects. The endpoint request and response is identical
|
||||
to the "objects/query" endpoint. For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "objects/subscribe", "params":
|
||||
{"objects":{"toolhead": ["position"], "webhooks": ["state"]},
|
||||
"response_template":{}}}`
|
||||
might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {"status": {"webhooks": {"state": "ready"},
|
||||
"toolhead": {"position": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]}},
|
||||
"eventtime": 3052153.382083195}}`
|
||||
and result in subsequent asynchronous messages such as:
|
||||
`{"params": {"status": {"webhooks": {"state": "shutdown"}},
|
||||
"eventtime": 3052165.418815847}}`
|
||||
|
||||
### gcode/help
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint allows one to query available G-Code commands that have
|
||||
a help string defined. For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "gcode/help"}`
|
||||
might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {"RESTORE_GCODE_STATE": "Restore a previously
|
||||
saved G-Code state", "PID_CALIBRATE": "Run PID calibration test",
|
||||
"QUERY_ADC": "Report the last value of an analog pin", ...}}`
|
||||
|
||||
### gcode/script
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint allows one to run a series of G-Code commands. For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "gcode/script", "params": {"script": "G90"}}`
|
||||
|
||||
If the provided G-Code script raises an error, then an error response
|
||||
is generated. However, if the G-Code command produces terminal output,
|
||||
that terminal output is not provided in the response. (Use the
|
||||
"gcode/subscribe_output" endpoint to obtain G-Code terminal output.)
|
||||
|
||||
If there is a G-Code command being processed when this request is
|
||||
received, then the provided script will be queued. This delay could be
|
||||
significant (eg, if a G-Code wait for temperature command is running).
|
||||
The JSON response message is sent when the processing of the script
|
||||
fully completes.
|
||||
|
||||
### gcode/restart
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint allows one to request a restart - it is similar to
|
||||
running the G-Code "RESTART" command. For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "gcode/restart"}`
|
||||
|
||||
As with the "gcode/script" endpoint, this endpoint only completes
|
||||
after any pending G-Code commands complete.
|
||||
|
||||
### gcode/firmware_restart
|
||||
|
||||
This is similar to the "gcode/restart" endpoint - it implements the
|
||||
G-Code "FIRMWARE_RESTART" command. For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "gcode/firmware_restart"}`
|
||||
|
||||
As with the "gcode/script" endpoint, this endpoint only completes
|
||||
after any pending G-Code commands complete.
|
||||
|
||||
### gcode/subscribe_output
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint is used to subscribe to G-Code terminal messages that
|
||||
are generated by Klipper. For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "gcode/subscribe_output", "params":
|
||||
{"response_template":{}}}`
|
||||
might later produce asynchronous messages such as:
|
||||
`{"params": {"response": "// Klipper state: Shutdown"}}`
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint is intended to support human interaction via a "terminal
|
||||
window" interface. Parsing content from the G-Code terminal output is
|
||||
discouraged. Use the "objects/subscribe" endpoint to obtain updates on
|
||||
Klipper's state.
|
||||
|
||||
### motion_report/dump_stepper
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint is used to subscribe to Klipper's internal stepper
|
||||
queue_step command stream for a stepper. Obtaining these low-level
|
||||
motion updates may be useful for diagnostic and debugging
|
||||
purposes. Using this endpoint may increase Klipper's system load.
|
||||
|
||||
A request may look like:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method":"motion_report/dump_stepper",
|
||||
"params": {"name": "stepper_x", "response_template": {}}}`
|
||||
and might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {"header": ["interval", "count", "add"]}}`
|
||||
and might later produce asynchronous messages such as:
|
||||
`{"params": {"first_clock": 179601081, "first_time": 8.98,
|
||||
"first_position": 0, "last_clock": 219686097, "last_time": 10.984,
|
||||
"data": [[179601081, 1, 0], [29573, 2, -8685], [16230, 4, -1525],
|
||||
[10559, 6, -160], [10000, 976, 0], [10000, 1000, 0], [10000, 1000, 0],
|
||||
[10000, 1000, 0], [9855, 5, 187], [11632, 4, 1534], [20756, 2, 9442]]}}`
|
||||
|
||||
The "header" field in the initial query response is used to describe
|
||||
the fields found in later "data" responses.
|
||||
|
||||
### motion_report/dump_trapq
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint is used to subscribe to Klipper's internal "trapezoid
|
||||
motion queue". Obtaining these low-level motion updates may be useful
|
||||
for diagnostic and debugging purposes. Using this endpoint may
|
||||
increase Klipper's system load.
|
||||
|
||||
A request may look like:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "motion_report/dump_trapq", "params":
|
||||
{"name": "toolhead", "response_template":{}}}`
|
||||
and might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 1, "result": {"header": ["time", "duration",
|
||||
"start_velocity", "acceleration", "start_position", "direction"]}}`
|
||||
and might later produce asynchronous messages such as:
|
||||
`{"params": {"data": [[4.05, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, [300.0, 0.0, 0.0],
|
||||
[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]], [5.054, 0.001, 0.0, 3000.0, [300.0, 0.0, 0.0],
|
||||
[-1.0, 0.0, 0.0]]]}}`
|
||||
|
||||
The "header" field in the initial query response is used to describe
|
||||
the fields found in later "data" responses.
|
||||
|
||||
### adxl345/dump_adxl345
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint is used to subscribe to ADXL345 accelerometer data.
|
||||
Obtaining these low-level motion updates may be useful for diagnostic
|
||||
and debugging purposes. Using this endpoint may increase Klipper's
|
||||
system load.
|
||||
|
||||
A request may look like:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method":"adxl345/dump_adxl345",
|
||||
"params": {"sensor": "adxl345", "response_template": {}}}`
|
||||
and might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123,"result":{"header":["time","x_acceleration","y_acceleration",
|
||||
"z_acceleration"]}}`
|
||||
and might later produce asynchronous messages such as:
|
||||
`{"params":{"overflows":0,"data":[[3292.432935,-535.44309,-1529.8374,9561.4],
|
||||
[3292.433256,-382.45935,-1606.32927,9561.48375]]}}`
|
||||
|
||||
The "header" field in the initial query response is used to describe
|
||||
the fields found in later "data" responses.
|
||||
|
||||
### angle/dump_angle
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint is used to subscribe to
|
||||
[angle sensor data](Config_Reference.md#angle). Obtaining these
|
||||
low-level motion updates may be useful for diagnostic and debugging
|
||||
purposes. Using this endpoint may increase Klipper's system load.
|
||||
|
||||
A request may look like:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method":"angle/dump_angle",
|
||||
"params": {"sensor": "my_angle_sensor", "response_template": {}}}`
|
||||
and might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123,"result":{"header":["time","angle"]}}`
|
||||
and might later produce asynchronous messages such as:
|
||||
`{"params":{"position_offset":3.151562,"errors":0,
|
||||
"data":[[1290.951905,-5063],[1290.952321,-5065]]}}`
|
||||
|
||||
The "header" field in the initial query response is used to describe
|
||||
the fields found in later "data" responses.
|
||||
|
||||
### pause_resume/cancel
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint is similar to running the "PRINT_CANCEL" G-Code command.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "pause_resume/cancel"}`
|
||||
|
||||
As with the "gcode/script" endpoint, this endpoint only completes
|
||||
after any pending G-Code commands complete.
|
||||
|
||||
### pause_resume/pause
|
||||
|
||||
This endpoint is similar to running the "PAUSE" G-Code command. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "pause_resume/pause"}`
|
||||
|
||||
As with the "gcode/script" endpoint, this endpoint only completes
|
||||
after any pending G-Code commands complete.
|
||||
|
||||
### pause_resume/resume
|
||||
|
||||

This endpoint will query the active endpoints and return their status.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "method": "query_endstops/status"}`
|
||||
might return:
|
||||
`{"id": 123, "result": {"y": "open", "x": "open", "z": "TRIGGERED"}}`
