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 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 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.

Based on the above example, the username is "demo" and the password is the "API token" (swB3/nSo1CB1X2F).

Examples

Example with cURL

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:

{"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. Here is an example to fetch all bookmarks.

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:
