  1. This README contains details about the BFGMiner RPC API
  2. It also includes some detailed information at the end,
  3. about using miner.php
  4. If you start BFGMiner with the "--api-listen" option, it will listen on a
  5. simple TCP/IP socket for single string API requests from the same machine
  6. running BFGMiner and reply with a string and then close the socket each time
  7. If you add the "--api-network" option, it will accept API requests from any
  8. network attached computer.
  9. You can only access the comands that reply with data in this mode.
  10. By default, you cannot access any privileged command that affects the miner -
  11. you will receive an access denied status message see --api-allow below.
  12. You can specify IP addresses/prefixes that are only allowed to access the API
  13. with the "--api-allow" option e.g. --api-allow W:192.168.0.1,10.0.0/24
  14. will allow 192.168.0.1 or any address matching 10.0.0.*, but nothing else
  15. IP addresses are automatically padded with extra '.0's as needed
  16. Without a /prefix is the same as specifying /32
  17. 0/0 means all IP addresses.
  18. The 'W:' on the front gives that address/subnet privileged access to commands
  19. that modify BFGMiner (thus all API commands)
  20. Without it those commands return an access denied status.
  21. See --api-groups below to define other groups like W:
  22. Privileged access is checked in the order the IP addresses were supplied to
  23. "--api-allow"
  24. The first match determines the privilege level.
  25. Using the "--api-allow" option overides the "--api-network" option if they
  26. are both specified
  27. With "--api-allow", 127.0.0.1 is not by default given access unless specified
  28. More groups (like the privileged group W:) can be defined using the
  29. --api-groups command
  30. Valid groups are only the letters A-Z (except R & W are predefined) and are
  31. not case sensitive
  32. The R: group is the same as not privileged access
  33. The W: group is (as stated) privileged access (thus all API commands)
  34. To give an IP address/subnet access to a group you use the group letter
  35. in front of the IP address instead of W: e.g. P:192.168.0/32
  36. An IP address/subnet can only be a member of one group
  37. A sample API group would be:
  38. --api-groups P:switchpool:enablepool:addpool:disablepool:removepool:poolpriority:*
  39. This would create a group 'P' that can do all current pool commands and all
  40. non-priviliged commands - the '*' means all non-priviledged commands
  41. Without the '*' the group would only have access to the pool commands
  42. Defining multiple groups example:
  43. --api-groups Q:quit:restart:*,S:save
  44. This would define 2 groups:
  45. Q: that can 'quit' and 'restart' as well as all non-priviledged commands
  46. S: that can only 'save' and no other commands
  47. The RPC API request can be either simple text or JSON.
  48. If the request is JSON (starts with '{'), it will reply with a JSON formatted
  49. response, otherwise it replies with text formatted as described further below.
  50. The JSON request format required is '{"command":"CMD","parameter":"PARAM"}'
  51. (though of course parameter is not required for all requests)
  52. where "CMD" is from the "Request" column below and "PARAM" would be e.g.
  53. the CPU/GPU number if required.
  54. An example request in both formats to set GPU 0 fan to 80%:
  55. gpufan|0,80
  56. {"command":"gpufan","parameter":"0,80"}
  57. The format of each reply (unless stated otherwise) is a STATUS section
  58. followed by an optional detail section
  59. From API version 1.7 onwards, reply strings in JSON and Text have the
  60. necessary escaping as required to avoid ambiguity - they didn't before 1.7
  61. For JSON the 2 characters '"' and '\' are escaped with a '\' before them
  62. For Text the 4 characters '|' ',' '=' and '\' are escaped the same way
  63. Only user entered information will contain characters that require being
  64. escaped, such as Pool URL, User and Password or the Config save filename,
  65. when they are returned in messages or as their values by the API
  66. For API version 1.4 and later:
  67. The STATUS section is:
  68. STATUS=X,When=NNN,Code=N,Msg=string,Description=string|
  69. STATUS=X Where X is one of:
  70. W - Warning
  71. I - Informational
  72. S - Success
  73. E - Error
  74. F - Fatal (code bug)
  75. When=NNN
  76. Standard long time of request in seconds
  77. Code=N
  78. Each unique reply has a unigue Code (See api.c - #define MSG_NNNNNN)
  79. Msg=string
  80. Message matching the Code value N
  81. Description=string
  82. This defaults to the BFGMiner version but is the value of --api-description
  83. if it was specified at runtime.
  84. For API version 1.10 and later:
  85. The list of requests - a (*) means it requires privileged access - and replies are:

  241. coin COIN Coin mining information:
  242. Hash Method=sha256/scrypt,
  243. Current Block Time=N.N, <- 0 means none
  244. Current Block Hash=XXXX..., <- blank if none
  245. LP=true/false| <- LP is in use on at least 1 pool
  246. debug|setting (*)
  247. DEBUG Debug settings
  248. The optional commands for 'setting' are the same as
  249. the screen curses debug settings
  250. You can only specify one setting
  251. Only the first character is checked (case insensitive):
  252. Silent, Quiet, Verbose, Debug, RPCProto, PerDevice,
  253. WorkTime, Normal
  254. The output fields are (as above):
  255. Silent=true/false,
  256. Quiet=true/false,
  257. Verbose=true/false,
  258. Debug=true/false,
  259. RPCProto=true/false,
  260. PerDevice=true/false,
  261. WorkTime=true/false|
  262. setconfig|name,N (*)
  263. none There is no reply section just the STATUS section
  264. stating the results of setting 'name' to N
  265. The valid values for name are currently:
  266. queue, scantime, expiry
  267. N is an integer in the range 0 to 9999
  268. When you enable, disable or restart a GPU or PGA, you will also get Thread messages
  269. in the BFGMiner status window
  270. The 'poolpriority' command can be used to reset the priority order of multiple
  271. pools with a single command - 'switchpool' only sets a single pool to first priority
  272. Each pool should be listed by id number in order of preference (first = most
  273. preferred)
  274. Any pools not listed will be prioritised after the ones that are listed, in the
  275. priority order they were originally
  276. If the priority change affects the miner's preference for mining, it may switch
  277. immediately
  278. When you switch to a different pool to the current one (including by priority
  279. change), you will get a 'Switching to URL' message in the BFGMiner status
  280. windows
  281. Obviously, the JSON format is simply just the names as given before the '='
  282. with the values after the '='
  283. If you enable BFGMiner debug (--debug or using RPC), you will also get messages
  284. showing some details of the requests received and the replies
  285. There are included 4 program examples for accessing the API:
  286. api-example.php - a php script to access the API
  287. usAge: php api-example.php command
  288. by default it sends a 'summary' request to the miner at 127.0.0.1:4028
  289. If you specify a command it will send that request instead
  290. You must modify the line "$socket = getsock('127.0.0.1', 4028);" at the
  291. beginning of "function request($cmd)" to change where it looks for BFGMiner
  292. API.java/API.class
  293. a java program to access the API (with source code)
  294. usAge is: java API command address port
  295. Any missing or blank parameters are replaced as if you entered:
  296. java API summary 127.0.0.1 4028
  297. api-example.c - a 'C' program to access the API (with source code)
  298. usAge: api-example [command [ip/host [port]]]
  299. again, as above, missing or blank parameters are replaced as if you entered:
  300. api-example summary 127.0.0.1 4028
  301. miner.php - an example web page to access the API
  302. This includes buttons and inputs to attempt access to the privileged commands
  303. See the end of this API-README for details of how to tune the display
  304. and also to use the option to display a multi-rig summary

  496. miner.php
  497. =========
  498. miner.php is a PHP based interface to the BFGMiner RPC API
  499. (referred to simply as the API below)
  500. It can show rig details, summaries and input fields to allow you to change
  501. BFGMiner
  502. You can also create custom summary pages with it
  503. It has two levels to the security:
  504. 1) BFGMiner can be configured to allow or disallow API access and access level
  505. security for miner.php
  506. 2) miner.php can be configured to allow or disallow privileged BFGMiner
  507. access, if BFGMiner is configured to allow privileged access for miner.php
  508. ---------
  509. To use miner.php requires a web server with PHP
  510. Basics: On xubuntu 11.04, to install apache2 and php, the commands are:
  511. sudo apt-get install apache2
  512. sudo apt-get install php5
  513. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
  514. On Fedora 17:
  515. yum install httpd php
  516. systemctl restart httpd.service
  517. systemctl enable httpd.service --system
  518. On windows there are a few options.
  519. Try one of these (I've never used either one)
  520. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
  521. http://www.wampserver.com/en/
  522. ---------
  523. The basic BFGMiner option to enable the API is:
  524. --api-listen
  525. or in your bfgminer.conf
  526. "api-listen" : true,
  527. (without the ',' on the end if it is the last item)
  528. If the web server is running on the BFGMiner computer, the above
  529. is the only change required to give miner.php basic access to
  530. the BFGMiner API
  531. -
  532. If the web server runs on a different computer to BFGMiner,
  533. you will also need to tell BFGMiner to allow the web server
  534. to access BFGMiner's API and tell miner.php where BFGMiner is
  535. Assuming a.b.c.d is the IP address of the web server, you
  536. would add the following to BFGMiner:
  537. --api-listen --api-allow a.b.c.d
  538. or in your bfgminer.conf
  539. "api-listen" : true,
  540. "api-allow" : "a.b.c.d",
  541. to tell BFGMiner to give the web server read access to the API
  542. You also need to tell miner.php where BFGMiner is.
  543. Assuming BFGMiner is at IP address e.f.g.h, then you would
  544. edit miner.php and change the line
  545. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
  546. to
  547. $rigs = array('e.f.g.h:4028');
  548. See --api-network or --api-allow for more access details
  549. and how to give write access
  550. ---------
  551. Once you have a web server with PHP running
  552. copy your miner.php to the main web folder
  553. On Xubuntu 11.04
  554. /var/www/
  555. On Fedora 17
  556. /var/www/html/
  557. On Windows
  558. see your windows Web/PHP documentation
  559. Assuming the IP address of the web server is a.b.c.d
  560. Then in your web browser go to:
  561. http://a.b.c.d/miner.php
  562. Done :)
  563. ---------
  564. The rest of this documentation deals with the more complex
  565. functions of miner.php, using myminer.php, creaing custom
  566. summaries and displaying multiple BFGMiner rigs
  567. ---------
  568. If you create a file called myminer.php in the same web folder
  569. where you put miner.php, miner.php will load it when it runs
  570. This is useful, to put any changes you need to make to miner.php
  571. instead of changing miner.php
  572. Thus if you update/get a new miner.php, you won't lose the changes
  573. you have made if you put all your changes in myminer.php
  574. (and don't change miner.php at all)
  575. A simple example myminer.php that defines 2 rigs
  576. (that I will keep referring to further below) is:
  577. <?php
  578. #
  579. $rigs = array('192.168.0.100:4028:A', '192.168.0.102:4028:B');
  580. #
  581. ?>
  582. Changes in myminer.php superscede what is in miner.php
  583. However, this is only valid for variables in miner.php before the
  584. 2 lines where myminer.php is included by miner.php:
  585. if (file_exists('myminer.php'))
  586. include_once('myminer.php');
  587. Every variable in miner.php above those 2 lines, can be changed by
  588. simply defining them in your myminer.php
  589. So although miner.php originally contains the line
  590. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
  591. if you created the example myminer.php given above, it would actually
  592. change the value of $rigs that is used when miner.php is running
  593. i.e. you don't have to remove or comment out the $rigs line in miner.php
  594. It will be superceded by myminer.php
  595. ---------
  596. The example.php above also shows how to define more that one rig to
  597. be shown my miner.php
  598. Each rig string is 2 or 3 values seperated by colons ':'
  599. They are simply an IP address or host name, followed by the
  600. port number (usually 4028) and an optional Name string
  601. miner.php displays rig buttons that will show the defails of a single
  602. rig when you click on it - the button shows either the rig number,
  603. or the 'Name' string if you provide it
  604. PHP arrays contain each string seperated by a comma, but no comma after
  605. the last one
  606. So an example for 3 rigs would be:
  607. $rigs = array('192.168.0.100:4028:A', '192.168.0.102:4028:B', '192.168.0.110:4028:C');
  608. Of course each of the rigs listed would also have to have the API
  609. running and be set to allow the web server to access the API - as
  610. explained before
  611. ---------
  612. So basically, any variable explained below can be put in myminer.php
  613. if you wanted to set it to something different to it's default value
  614. and did not want to change miner.php itself every time you updated it
  615. Below is each variable that can be changed and an explanation of each
  616. ---------
  617. Default:
  618. $dfmt = 'H:i:s j-M-Y \U\T\CP';
  619. Define the date format used to print full length dates
  620. If you get the string 'UTCP' on the end of your dates shown, that
  621. means you are using an older version of PHP and you can instead use:
  622. $dfmt = 'H:i:s j-M-Y \U\T\CO';
  623. The PHP documentation on the date format is here:
  624. http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
  625. ---------
  626. Default:
  627. $title = 'Mine';
  628. Web page title
  629. If you know PHP you can of course use code to define it e.g.
  630. $title = 'My Rig at: '.date($dfmt);
  631. Which would set the web page title to something like:
  632. My Rig at: 10:34:00 22-Aug-2012 UTC+10:00
  633. ---------
  634. Default:
  635. $readonly = false;
  636. Set $readonly to true to force miner.php to be readonly
  637. This means it won't allow you to change BFGMiner even if the RPC API
  638. options allow it to
  639. If you set $readonly to false then it will check BFGMiner 'privileged'
  640. and will show input fields and buttons on the single rig page
  641. allowing you to change devices, pools and even quit or restart
  642. BFGMiner
  643. However, if the 'privileged' test fails, the code will set $readonly to
  644. true
  645. ---------
  646. Default:
  647. $notify = true;
  648. Set $notify to false to NOT attempt to display the notify command
  649. table of data
  650. Set $notify to true to attempt to display the notify command on
  651. the single rig page
  652. If your older version of BFGMiner returns an 'Invalid command'
  653. coz it doesn't have notify - it just shows the error status table
  654. ---------
  655. Default:
  656. $checklastshare = true;
  657. Set $checklastshare to true to do the following checks:
  658. If a device's last share is 12x expected ago then display as an error
  659. If a device's last share is 8x expected ago then display as a warning
  660. If either of the above is true, also display the whole line highlighted
  661. This assumes shares are 1 difficulty shares
  662. Set $checklastshare to false to not do the above checks
  663. 'expected' is calculated from the device MH/s value
  664. So for example, a device that hashes at 380MH/s should (on average)
  665. find a share every 11.3s
  666. If the last share was found more than 11.3 x 12 seconds (135.6s) ago,
  667. it is considered an error and highlighted
  668. If the last share was found more than 11.3 x 8 seconds (90.4s) ago,
  669. it is considered a warning and highlighted
  670. The default highlighting is very subtle
  671. ---------
  672. Default:
  673. $poolinputs = false;
  674. Set $poolinputs to true to show the input fields for adding a pool
  675. and changing the pool priorities on a single rig page
  676. However, if $readonly is true, it will not display them
  677. ---------
  678. Default:
  679. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
  680. Set $rigs to an array of your BFGMiner rigs that are running
  681. format: 'IP:Port' or 'Host:Port' or 'Host:Port:Name'
  682. If you only have one rig, it will just show the detail of that rig
  683. If you have more than one rig it will show a summary of all the rigs
  684. with buttons to show the details of each rig -
  685. the button contents will be 'Name' rather than rig number, if you
  686. specify 'Name'
  687. e.g. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028','myrig.com:4028:Sugoi');
  688. ---------
  689. Default:
  690. $rigipsecurity = true;
  691. Set $rigipsecurity to false to show the IP/Port of the rig
  692. in the socket error messages and also show the full socket message
  693. ---------
  694. Default:
  695. $rigtotals = true;
  696. $forcerigtotals = false;
  697. Set $rigtotals to true to display totals on the single rig page
  698. 'false' means no totals (and ignores $forcerigtotals)
  699. If $rigtotals is true, all data is also right aligned
  700. With false, it's as before, left aligned
  701. This option is just here to allow people to set it to false
  702. if they prefer the old non-total display when viewing a single rig
  703. Also, if there is only one line shown in any section, then no
  704. total will be shown (to save screen space)
  705. You can force it to always show rig totals on the single rig page,
  706. even if there is only one line, by setting $forcerigtotals = true;
  707. ---------
  708. Default:
  709. $socksndtimeoutsec = 10;
  710. $sockrcvtimeoutsec = 40;
  711. The numbers are integer seconds
  712. The defaults should be OK for most cases
  713. However, the longer SND is, the longer you have to wait while
  714. php hangs if the target BFGMiner isn't runnning or listening
  715. RCV should only ever be relevant if BFGMiner has hung but the
  716. API thread is still running, RCV would normally be >= SND
  717. Feel free to increase SND if your network is very slow
  718. or decrease RCV if that happens often to you
  719. Also, on some windows PHP, apparently the $usec is ignored
  720. (so usec can't be specified)
  721. ---------
  722. Default:
  723. $hidefields = array();
  724. List of fields NOT to be displayed
  725. You can use this to hide data you don't want to see or don't want
  726. shown on a public web page
  727. The list of sections are:
  728. SUMMARY, POOL, PGA, GPU, NOTIFY, CONFIG, DEVDETAILS, DEVS
  729. See the web page for the list of field names (the table headers)
  730. It is an array of 'SECTION.Field Name' => 1
  731. This example would hide the slightly more sensitive pool information:
  732. Pool URL and pool username:
  733. $hidefields = array('POOL.URL' => 1, 'POOL.User' => 1);
  734. If you just want to hide the pool username:
  735. $hidefields = array('POOL.User' => 1);
  736. ---------
  737. Default:
  738. $ignorerefresh = false;
  739. $changerefresh = true;
  740. $autorefresh = 0;
  741. Auto-refresh of the page (in seconds) - integers only
  742. $ignorerefresh = true/false always ignore refresh parameters
  743. $changerefresh = true/false show buttons to change the value
  744. $autorefresh = default value, 0 means dont auto-refresh
  745. ---------
  746. Default:
  747. $placebuttons = 'top';
  748. Where to place the Refresh, Summary, Custom Pages, Quit, etc. buttons
  749. Valid values are: 'top' 'bot' 'both'
  750. anything else means don't show them - case sensitive
  751. ---------
  752. Default:
  753. $miner_font_family = 'verdana,arial,sans';
  754. $miner_font_size = '13pt';
  755. Change these to set the font and font size used on the web page
  756. ---------
  757. Default:
  758. $colouroverride = array();
  759. Use this to change the web page colour scheme
  760. See $colourtable in miner.php for the list of possible names to change
  761. Simply put in $colouroverride, just the colours you wish to change
  762. e.g. to change the colour of the header font and background
  763. you could do the following:
  764. $colouroverride = array(
  765. 'td.h color' => 'green',
  766. 'td.h background' => 'blue'
  767. );
  768. ---------
  769. Default:
  770. $allowcustompages = true;
  771. Should we allow custom pages?
  772. (or just completely ignore them and don't display the buttons)
  773. ---------
  774. OK this part is more complex: Custom Summary Pages
  775. A custom summary page in an array of 'section' => array('FieldA','FieldB'...)
  776. The section defines what data you want in the summary table and the Fields
  777. define what data you want shown from that section
  778. Standard sections are:
  779. SUMMARY, POOL, PGA, GPU, NOTIFY, CONFIG, DEVDETAILS, DEVS, STATS, COIN
  780. Fields are the names as shown on the headers on the normal pages
  781. Fields can be 'name=new name' to display 'name' with a different heading
  782. 'new name'
  783. There are also now joined sections:
  784. SUMMARY+POOL, SUMMARY+DEVS, SUMMARY+CONFIG, DEVS+NOTIFY, DEVS+DEVDETAILS
  785. SUMMARY+COIN
  786. These sections are an SQL join of the two sections and the fields in them
  787. are named section.field where section. is the section the field comes from
  788. See the example further down
  789. Also note:
  790. - empty tables are not shown
  791. - empty columns (e.g. an unknown field) are not shown
  792. - missing field data shows as blank
  793. - the field name '*' matches all fields except in joined sections
  794. (useful for STATS and COIN)
  795. There are 2 hard coded sections:
  796. DATE - displays a date table like at the start of 'Summary'
  797. RIGS - displays a rig table like at the start of 'Summary'
  798. Each custom summary requires a second array, that can be empty, listing fields
  799. to be totaled for each section
  800. If there is no matching total data, no total will show
  801. ---------
  802. Looking at the Mobile example:
  803. $mobilepage = array(
  804. 'DATE' => null,
  805. 'RIGS' => null,
  806. 'SUMMARY' => array('Elapsed', 'MHS av', 'Found Blocks=Blks',
  807. Accepted', 'Rejected=Rej', 'Utility'),
  808. 'DEVS+NOTIFY' => array('DEVS.Name=Name', 'DEVS.ID=ID', 'DEVS.Status=Status',
  809. 'DEVS.Temperature=Temp', 'DEVS.MHS av=MHS av',
  810. 'DEVS.Accepted=Accept', 'DEVS.Rejected=Rej',
  811. 'DEVS.Utility=Utility', 'NOTIFY.Last Not Well=Not Well'),
  812. 'POOL' => array('POOL', 'Status', 'Accepted', 'Rejected=Rej', 'Last Share Time'));
  813. $mobilesum = array(
  814. 'SUMMARY' => array('MHS av', 'Found Blocks', 'Accepted', 'Rejected', 'Utility'),
  815. 'DEVS+NOTIFY' => array('DEVS.MHS av', 'DEVS.Accepted', 'DEVS.Rejected', 'DEVS.Utility'),
  816. 'POOL' => array('Accepted', 'Rejected'));
  817. $customsummarypages = array('Mobile' => array($mobilepage, $mobilesum));
  818. This will show 5 tables (according to $mobilepage)
  819. Each table will have the chosen details for all the rigs specified in $rigs
  820. DATE
  821. A single box with the web server's current date and time
  822. RIGS
  823. A table of the rigs: description, time, versions etc
  824. SUMMARY
  825. This will use the API 'summary' command and show the selected fields:
  826. Elapsed, MHS av, Found Blocks, Accepted, Rejected and Utility
  827. However, 'Rejected=Rej' means that the header displayed for the 'Rejected'
  828. field will be 'Rej', instead of 'Rejected' (to save space)
  829. Same for 'Found Blocks=Blks' - to save space
  830. DEVS+NOTIFY
  831. This will list each of the devices on each rig and display the list of
  832. fields as shown
  833. It will also include the 'Last Not Well' field from the 'notify' command
  834. so you know when the device was last not well
  835. You will notice that you need to rename each field e.g. 'DEVS.Name=Name'
  836. since each field name in the join between DEVS and NOTIFY is actually
  837. section.fieldname, not just fieldname
  838. The join code automatically adds 2 fields to each GPU device: 'Name' and 'ID'
  839. They don't exist in the API 'devs' output but I can correctly calculate
  840. them from the GPU device data
  841. These two fields are used to join DEVS to NOTIFY i.e. find the NOTIFY
  842. record that has the same Name and ID as the DEVS record and join them
  843. POOL
  844. This will use the API 'pools' command and show the selected fields:
  845. POOL, Status, Accepted, Rejected, Last Share Time
  846. Again, I renamed the 'Rejected' field using 'Rejected=Rej', to save space
  847. $mobilesum lists the sections and fields that should have a total
  848. You can't define them for 'DATE' or 'RIGS' since they are hard coded tables
  849. The example given:
  850. SUMMARY
  851. Show a total at the bottom of the columns for:
  852. MHS av, Found Blocks, Accepted, Rejected, Utility
  853. Firstly note that you use the original name i.e. for 'Rejected=Rej'
  854. you use 'Rejected', not 'Rej' and not 'Rejected=Rej'
  855. Secondly note that it simply adds up the fields
  856. If you ask for a total of a string field you will get the numerical
  857. sum of the string data
  858. DEVS+NOTIFY
  859. Simply note in this join example that you must use the original field
  860. names which are section.fieldname, not just fieldname
  861. POOL
  862. Show a total at the bottom of the columns for:
  863. Accepted and Rejected
  864. Again remember to use the original field name 'Rejected'
