JSON-RPC API guide

Version 1.1.
The latest JSON-RPC API guide is available here: https://docs.safedns.com/books/json-rpc-api/page/json-rpc-api-guide

JSON-RPC API methods are designed for interaction with the service and making changes to the settings.

The API was designed using JSON-RPC protocol and is compatible with the following versions: 1.0 and 2.0. More info is available here: http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification

An example of a CURL request for JSON-RPC 1.0:

curl -X POST https://www.safedns.com/api/json/v1-L-d '{"id":0,"method":"methodName","params":{"param1":"param1"}}'

An example of a CURL request for JSON-RPC 2.0:

curl -X POST https://www.safedns.com/api/json/v2-L-d '{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"methodName","params":{"param1":"para m1"}}'

Some API methods require basic authentication. In this case, authentication details must be sent in the request. Example:

curl -X POST https://www.safedns.com/api/json/v2 -L --user username:password -d '{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"methodName","params":{"param1":"param1"}}'

Response format: JSON.

A response example of a successful API call:

{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 0,
"result": "result"
}

A method result is included in the “result” key.

In case of an incorrect request the response will be the following:

{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 0,
"error": {"code": "code", "name": "name", "message": "message", "data": "data"}
}
