Json-RPC API
============
The Miniflux API is a way to interact programatically with your feeds, items, bookmarks and other data.
Developers can use this API to make a desktop or a mobile client on Android, iOS, etc...
Protocol
--------
The API use the [JSON-RPC ](http://www.jsonrpc.org/ ) protocol because it's very simple.
JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON.
Almost the same thing as XML-RPC but with JSON.
We use the [version 2 ](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification ) of the protocol.
You must call the API with a **POST** HTTP request.
Credentials
-----------
The first step is to retrieve API credentials and the URL endpoint.
Under the web user interface of Miniflux, go to the menu **preferences** , scroll down until you reach the API section.
You must have these information:
- API endpoint: `https://miniflux.net/[username]/jsonrpc.php`
- API username: `username`
- API token: `swB3/nSo1CB1X2F` (random token)
The API username is the same as your login username and the API token is generated automatically during the database creation.
Authentication
--------------
The API use the HTTP Basic Authentication scheme described in [RFC2617 ](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt ).
Based on the above example, the username is "demo" and the password is the "API token" (swB3/nSo1CB1X2F).
Examples
--------
### Example with cURL
```bash
curl \
-u "demo:swB3/nSo1CB1X2F" \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "feed.create", "params": {"url": "http://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss"}, "id": 1}' \
https://miniflux.net/demo/jsonrpc.php
```
Success output:
```json
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":6}
```
The `feed_id` is 6.
Error output:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":false}
### Example with PHP
I developed a very simple [JSON-RPC client/server PHP library ](https://github.com/fguillot/JsonRPC ).
Here is an example to fetch all bookmarks.
```php
use JsonRPC\Client;
$client = new Client('https://miniflux.net/demo/jsonrpc.php');
$client->authentication('demo', 'swB3/nSo1CB1X2F');
$result = $client->execute('item.bookmark.list');
print_r($result);
```
Output:
```php
