.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Syncthing exposes a REST interface over HTTP on the GUI port. This is used by
the GUI code (JavaScript) and can be used by other processes wishing to control
Syncthing. In most cases both the input and output data is in JSON format. The
interface is subject to change.
.SH API KEY
.sp
To use the POST methods, or \fIany\fP method when authentication is enabled, an API
key must be set and used. The API key can be generated in the GUI, or set in the
\fBconfiguration/gui/apikey\fP element in the configuration file. To use an API
key, set the request header \fBX\-API\-Key\fP to the API key value.

.sp
Returns the directory tree of the global model. Directories are always
JSON objects (map/dictionary), and files are always arrays of
modification time and size. The first integer is the files modification
time, and the second integer is the file size.
.sp
The call takes one mandatory \fBfolder\fP parameter and two optional
parameters. Optional parameter \fBlevels\fP defines how deep within the
tree we want to dwell down (0 based, defaults to unlimited depth)
Optional parameter \fBprefix\fP defines a prefix within the tree where to
start building the structure.

.SS POST /rest/db/scan
.sp
Request immediate rescan of a folder, or a specific path within a folder.
Takes the mandatory parameter \fIfolder\fP (folder ID), an optional parameter
\fBsub\fP (path relative to the folder root) and an optional parameter \fBnext\fP\&. If
\fBsub\fP is omitted or empty, the entire folder is scanned for changes, otherwise
only the given path (and children, in case it\(aqs a directory) is scanned. The
\fBnext\fP argument delays Syncthing\(aqs automated rescan interval for a given
amount of seconds.
.sp
Requesting scan of a path that no longer exists, but previously did, is
valid and will result in Syncthing noticing the deletion of the path in
question.
.sp
Returns status 200 and no content upon success, or status 500 and a
plain text error if an error occurred during scanning.
