The Recorder's API provides most of the functions that are surfaced by ocat. GET and POST requests are supported, and if a username and device are needed, these can be passed in via X-Limit-User and X-Limit-Device headers alternatively to GET or POST parameters. (From and To dates may also be specified as X-Limit-From and X-Limit-To respectively.)
The API endpoint is at /api/0 and is followed by the verb.
Returns the content of the monitor file as plain text.
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/monitor'
1441962082 owntracks/jjolie/phone
Returns a list of last users' positions. (Can be limited by user, device, and fields, a comma-separated list of fields which should be returned instead of the default of all fields.)
curl http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/last [-d user=jjolie [-d device=phone]]
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/last?fields=tst,tid,addr,topic,isotst'
List users. If user is specified, lists that user's devices. If both user and device are specified, lists that device's .rec files.
Here comes the actual data. This lists users' locations and requires both user and device. Output format is JSON unless a different format is given (csv, json, geojson, geojsonpoi, xml, and linestring are supported, with geojsonpoi retrieving locations which contain a Point of Interest (poi) element only.).
In order to limit the number of records returned, use limit which causes a reverse search through the .rec files; this can be used to find the last N positions.
Date/time ranges may be specified as from and to with dates/times specified as described for ocat above.
curl http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/locations -d user=jpm -d device=5s
curl http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/locations -d user=jpm -d device=5s -d limit=1
curl http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/locations -d user=jpm -d device=5s -d format=geojson
curl http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/locations -d user=jpm -d device=5s -d from=2014-08-03
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/locations?from=2015-09-01&user=jpm&device=5s&fields=tst,tid,addr,isotst'
Query the geo cache for a particular lat and lon.
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/q?lat=48.85833&lon=2.295'
{
"cc": "FR",
"addr": "9 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris, France",
"tst": 1441984405
}
The reported timestamp was the time at which this cache entry was made. Note that this interface queries only -- it does not populate the cache.
Requires GET method and user, and will return the image/png 40x40px photograph of a user if available in STORAGEDIR/photos/ or a transparent 40x40png with a black border otherwise.
If support for this is compiled in, this API endpoint allows a client to remove data from storage. (Warning: any client can do this, as there is no authentication/authorization in the Recorder!)
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8083/api/0/kill?user=ngin&device=ojo'
{
"path": "s0/rec/ngin/ojo",
"status": "OK",
"last": "s0/last/ngin/ojo/ngin-ojo.json",
"killed": [
"2015-09.rec",
]
}
The response contains a list of removed .rec files, and file system operations are logged to syslog.
Returns a JSON object which contains the Recorder's version string, such as
{ "version": "0.4.7" }
