Transmission RPC Specification
This document describes a protocol for interacting with Transmission sessions remotely.
The JSON terminology in RFC 4627 is used.
JSON is fairly common now, but for the benefit of torrent developers familiar with benc:
- a JSON array is equivalent to a benc list,
- a JSON object is equivalent to a benc dictionary,
- and a JSON object's keys are the dictionary's string keys.
The command-line utility "transmission-remote" uses this RPC API. Several developers have reported using its --debug JSON output as a reference when developing/debugging their own code.
Messages are formatted as objects. There are two types: requests (described in 2.1) and responses (described in 2.2).
All text MUST be UTF-8 encoded.
Requests support three keys:
- A required "method" string telling the name of the method to invoke
- An optional "arguments" object of key/value pairs
- An optional "tag" number used by clients to track responses. If provided by a request, the response MUST include the same tag.
Responses support three keys:
- A required "result" string whose value MUST be "success" on success, or an error string on failure.
- An optional "arguments" object of key/value pairs
- An optional "tag" number as described in 2.1.
HTTP POSTing a JSON-encoded request is the preferred way of communicating with a Transmission RPC server. The current Transmission implementation has the default URL as http://host:9091/transmission/rpc. Clients may use this as a default, but should allow the URL to be reconfigured, since the port and path may be changed to allow mapping and/or multiple daemons to run on a single server.
Most Transmission RPC servers require a X-Transmission-Session-Id header to be sent with requests, to prevent CSRF attacks.
When your request has the wrong id -- such as when you send your first request, or when the server expires the CSRF token -- the Transmission RPC server will return an HTTP 409 error with the right X-Transmission-Session-Id in its own headers.
So, the correct way to handle a 409 response is to update your X-Transmission-Session-Id and to resend the previous request.
Additional check is being made on each RPC request to make sure that the client sending the request does so using one of the allowed hostnames by which RPC server is meant to be available.
If host whitelisting is enabled (which is true by default), Transmission inspects the "Host:" HTTP header value (with port stripped, if any) and matches it to one of the whitelisted names. Regardless of host whitelist content, "localhost" and "localhost." domain names as well as all the IP addresses are always implicitly allowed.
For more information on configuration, see settings.json documentation for "rpc-host-whitelist-enabled" and "rpc-host-whitelist" keys.
| Method name | libtransmission function |
|---|---|
| "torrent-start" | tr_torrentStart |
| "torrent-start-now" | tr_torrentStartNow |
| "torrent-stop" | tr_torrentStop |
| "torrent-verify" | tr_torrentVerify |
| "torrent-reannounce" | tr_torrentManualUpdate ("ask tracker for more peers") |
Request arguments:
"ids", which specifies which torrents to use.
All torrents are used if the "ids" argument is omitted.
"ids" should be one of the following:
- an integer referring to a torrent id
- a list of torrent id numbers, sha1 hash strings, or both
- a string, "recently-active", for recently-active torrents
Response arguments:
none
Method name: "torrent-set"
Request arguments:
| string | value type | description |
|---|---|---|
| "bandwidthPriority" | number | this torrent's bandwidth tr_priority_t |
| "downloadLimit" | number | maximum download speed (KBps) |
| "downloadLimited" | boolean | true if "downloadLimit" is honored |
| "files-wanted" | array | indices of file(s) to download |
| "files-unwanted" | array | indices of file(s) to not download |
| "honorsSessionLimits" | boolean | true if session upload limits are honored |
| "ids" | array | torrent list, as described in 3.1 |
| "labels" | array | array of string labels |
| "location" | string | new location of the torrent's content |
| "peer-limit" | number | maximum number of peers |
| "priority-high" | array | indices of high-priority file(s) |
| "priority-low" | array | indices of low-priority file(s) |
| "priority-normal" | array | indices of normal-priority file(s) |
| "queuePosition" | number | position of this torrent in its queue [0...n) |
| "seedIdleLimit" | number | torrent-level number of minutes of seeding inactivity |
| "seedIdleMode" | number | which seeding inactivity to use. See tr_idlelimit |
| "seedRatioLimit" | double | torrent-level seeding ratio |
| "seedRatioMode" | number | which ratio to use. See tr_ratiolimit |
| "trackerAdd" | array | strings of announce URLs to add |
| "trackerRemove" | array | ids of trackers to remove |
| "trackerReplace" | array | pairs of <trackerId/new announce URLs> |
| "uploadLimit" | number | maximum upload speed (KBps) |
| "uploadLimited" | boolean | true if "uploadLimit" is honored |
Just as an empty "ids" value is shorthand for "all ids", using an empty array for "files-wanted", "files-unwanted", "priority-high", "priority-low", or "priority-normal" is shorthand for saying "all files".
Response arguments:
none
3.3. Torrent Accessors
Method name: "torrent-get".
Request arguments:
- An optional "ids" array as described in 3.1.
- A required "fields" array of keys. (see list below)
- An optional "format" string specifying how to format the "torrents" response field. Allowed values are "objects" (default) and "table". (see "Response arguments" below)
Response arguments:
(1) A "torrents" array.
If the "format" request was "objects" (default), "torrents" will
be an array of objects, each of which contains the key/value
pairs matching the request's "fields" arg. This was the only
format before Transmission 3 and has some obvious programmer
conveniences, such as parsing directly into Javascript objects.
If the format was "table", then "torrents" will be an array of
arrays. The first row holds the keys and each remaining row holds
a torrent's values for those keys. This format is more efficient
in terms of JSON generation and JSON parsing.
(2) If the request's "ids" field was "recently-active", a "removed" array of torrent-id numbers of recently-removed torrents.
Note: For more information on what these fields mean, see the comments in libtransmission/transmission.h. The "source" column here corresponds to the data structure there.

"rpc-version" indicates the RPC interface version supported by the RPC server. It is incremented when a new version of Transmission changes the RPC interface.
"rpc-version-minimum" indicates the oldest API supported by the RPC server. It is changes when a new version of Transmission changes the RPC interface in a way that is not backwards compatible. There are no plans for this to be common behavior.

5.1. Upcoming Breakage
These features will be removed three months after 2.80's release:
-
session-get's 'download-dir-free-space' argument will be removed. Its functionality has been superceded by the 'free-space' method.
-
HTTP POSTs to http://server:port/transmission/upload will fail. This was an undocumented hack to allow web clients to add files without client-side access to the file. This functionality is superceded by using HTML5's FileReader object + the documented 'torrent-add' method.
