  1. This README contains details about the cgminer RPC API
  2. It also includes some detailed information at the end,
  3. about using miner.php
  4. If you start cgminer 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 cgminer 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 cgminer (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 cgminer 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:

  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 cgminer 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 cgminer 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 cgminer debug (-D or --debug) or, when cgminer debug is off,
  284. turn on debug with the API command 'debug|debug' you will also get messages
  285. showing some details of the requests received and the replies
  286. There are included 4 program examples for accessing the API:
  287. api-example.php - a php script to access the API
  288. usAge: php api-example.php command
  289. by default it sends a 'summary' request to the miner at 127.0.0.1:4028
  290. If you specify a command it will send that request instead
  291. You must modify the line "$socket = getsock('127.0.0.1', 4028);" at the
  292. beginning of "function request($cmd)" to change where it looks for cgminer
  293. API.java/API.class
  294. a java program to access the API (with source code)
  295. usAge is: java API command address port
  296. Any missing or blank parameters are replaced as if you entered:
  297. java API summary 127.0.0.1 4028
  298. api-example.c - a 'C' program to access the API (with source code)
  299. usAge: api-example [command [ip/host [port]]]
  300. again, as above, missing or blank parameters are replaced as if you entered:
  301. api-example summary 127.0.0.1 4028
  302. miner.php - an example web page to access the API
  303. This includes buttons and inputs to attempt access to the privileged commands
  304. See the end of this API-README for details of how to tune the display
  305. and also to use the option to display a multi-rig summary

  479. miner.php
  480. =========
  481. miner.php is a PHP based interface to the cgminer RPC API
  482. (referred to simply as the API below)
  483. It can show rig details, summaries and input fields to allow you to change
  484. cgminer
  485. You can also create custom summary pages with it
  486. It has two levels to the security:
  487. 1) cgminer can be configured to allow or disallow API access and access level
  488. security for miner.php
  489. 2) miner.php can be configured to allow or disallow privileged cgminer
  490. access, if cgminer is configured to allow privileged access for miner.php
  491. ---------
  492. To use miner.php requires a web server with PHP
  493. Basics: On xubuntu 11.04, to install apache2 and php, the commands are:
  494. sudo apt-get install apache2
  495. sudo apt-get install php5
  496. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
  497. On Fedora 17:
  498. yum install httpd php
  499. systemctl restart httpd.service
  500. systemctl enable httpd.service --system
  501. On windows there are a few options.
  502. Try one of these (I've never used either one)
  503. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
  504. http://www.wampserver.com/en/
  505. ---------
  506. The basic cgminer option to enable the API is:
  507. --api-listen
  508. or in your cgminer.conf
  509. "api-listen" : true,
  510. (without the ',' on the end if it is the last item)
  511. If the web server is running on the cgminer computer, the above
  512. is the only change required to give miner.php basic access to
  513. the cgminer API
  514. -
  515. If the web server runs on a different computer to cgminer,
  516. you will also need to tell cgminer to allow the web server
  517. to access cgminer's API and tell miner.php where cgminer is
  518. Assuming a.b.c.d is the IP address of the web server, you
  519. would add the following to cgminer:
  520. --api-listen --api-allow a.b.c.d
  521. or in your cgminer.conf
  522. "api-listen" : true,
  523. "api-allow" : "a.b.c.d",
  524. to tell cgminer to give the web server read access to the API
  525. You also need to tell miner.php where cgminer is.
  526. Assuming cgminer is at IP address e.f.g.h, then you would
  527. edit miner.php and change the line
  528. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
  529. to
  530. $rigs = array('e.f.g.h:4028');
  531. See --api-network or --api-allow for more access details
  532. and how to give write access
  533. ---------
  534. Once you have a web server with PHP running
  535. copy your miner.php to the main web folder
  536. On Xubuntu 11.04
  537. /var/www/
  538. On Fedora 17
  539. /var/www/html/
  540. On Windows
  541. see your windows Web/PHP documentation
  542. Assuming the IP address of the web server is a.b.c.d
  543. Then in your web browser go to:
  544. http://a.b.c.d/miner.php
  545. Done :)
  546. ---------
  547. The rest of this documentation deals with the more complex
  548. functions of miner.php, using myminer.php, creaing custom
  549. summaries and displaying multiple cgminer rigs
  550. ---------
  551. If you create a file called myminer.php in the same web folder
  552. where you put miner.php, miner.php will load it when it runs
  553. This is useful, to put any changes you need to make to miner.php
  554. instead of changing miner.php
  555. Thus if you update/get a new miner.php, you won't lose the changes
  556. you have made if you put all your changes in myminer.php
  557. (and don't change miner.php at all)
  558. A simple example myminer.php that defines 2 rigs
  559. (that I will keep referring to further below) is:
  560. <?php
  561. #
  562. $rigs = array('192.168.0.100:4028:A', '192.168.0.102:4028:B');
  563. #
  564. ?>
  565. Changes in myminer.php superscede what is in miner.php
  566. However, this is only valid for variables in miner.php before the
  567. 2 lines where myminer.php is included by miner.php:
  568. if (file_exists('myminer.php'))
  569. include_once('myminer.php');
  570. Every variable in miner.php above those 2 lines, can be changed by
  571. simply defining them in your myminer.php
  572. So although miner.php originally contains the line
  573. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
  574. if you created the example myminer.php given above, it would actually
  575. change the value of $rigs that is used when miner.php is running
  576. i.e. you don't have to remove or comment out the $rigs line in miner.php
  577. It will be superceded by myminer.php
  578. ---------
  579. The example.php above also shows how to define more that one rig to
  580. be shown my miner.php
  581. Each rig string is 2 or 3 values seperated by colons ':'
  582. They are simply an IP address or host name, followed by the
  583. port number (usually 4028) and an optional Name string
  584. miner.php displays rig buttons that will show the defails of a single
  585. rig when you click on it - the button shows either the rig number,
  586. or the 'Name' string if you provide it
  587. PHP arrays contain each string seperated by a comma, but no comma after
  588. the last one
  589. So an example for 3 rigs would be:
  590. $rigs = array('192.168.0.100:4028:A', '192.168.0.102:4028:B', '192.168.0.110:4028:C');
  591. Of course each of the rigs listed would also have to have the API
  592. running and be set to allow the web server to access the API - as
  593. explained before
  594. ---------
  595. So basically, any variable explained below can be put in myminer.php
  596. if you wanted to set it to something different to it's default value
  597. and did not want to change miner.php itself every time you updated it
  598. Below is each variable that can be changed and an explanation of each
  599. ---------
  600. Default:
  601. $dfmt = 'H:i:s j-M-Y \U\T\CP';
  602. Define the date format used to print full length dates
  603. If you get the string 'UTCP' on the end of your dates shown, that
  604. means you are using an older version of PHP and you can instead use:
  605. $dfmt = 'H:i:s j-M-Y \U\T\CO';
  606. The PHP documentation on the date format is here:
  607. http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
  608. ---------
  609. Default:
  610. $title = 'Mine';
  611. Web page title
  612. If you know PHP you can of course use code to define it e.g.
  613. $title = 'My Rig at: '.date($dfmt);
  614. Which would set the web page title to something like:
  615. My Rig at: 10:34:00 22-Aug-2012 UTC+10:00
  616. ---------
  617. Default:
  618. $readonly = false;
  619. Set $readonly to true to force miner.php to be readonly
  620. This means it won't allow you to change cgminer even if the cgminer API
  621. options allow it to
  622. If you set $readonly to false then it will check cgminer 'privileged'
  623. and will show input fields and buttons on the single rig page
  624. allowing you to change devices, pools and even quit or restart
  625. cgminer
  626. However, if the 'privileged' test fails, the code will set $readonly to
  627. true
  628. ---------
  629. Default:
  630. $notify = true;
  631. Set $notify to false to NOT attempt to display the notify command
  632. table of data
  633. Set $notify to true to attempt to display the notify command on
  634. the single rig page
  635. If your older version of cgminer returns an 'Invalid command'
  636. coz it doesn't have notify - it just shows the error status table
  637. ---------
  638. Default:
  639. $checklastshare = true;
  640. Set $checklastshare to true to do the following checks:
  641. If a device's last share is 12x expected ago then display as an error
  642. If a device's last share is 8x expected ago then display as a warning
  643. If either of the above is true, also display the whole line highlighted
  644. This assumes shares are 1 difficulty shares
  645. Set $checklastshare to false to not do the above checks
  646. 'expected' is calculated from the device MH/s value
  647. So for example, a device that hashes at 380MH/s should (on average)
  648. find a share every 11.3s
  649. If the last share was found more than 11.3 x 12 seconds (135.6s) ago,
  650. it is considered an error and highlighted
  651. If the last share was found more than 11.3 x 8 seconds (90.4s) ago,
  652. it is considered a warning and highlighted
  653. The default highlighting is very subtle
  654. ---------
  655. Default:
  656. $poolinputs = false;
  657. Set $poolinputs to true to show the input fields for adding a pool
  658. and changing the pool priorities on a single rig page
  659. However, if $readonly is true, it will not display them
  660. ---------
  661. Default:
  662. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
  663. Set $rigs to an array of your cgminer rigs that are running
  664. format: 'IP:Port' or 'Host:Port' or 'Host:Port:Name'
  665. If you only have one rig, it will just show the detail of that rig
  666. If you have more than one rig it will show a summary of all the rigs
  667. with buttons to show the details of each rig -
  668. the button contents will be 'Name' rather than rig number, if you
  669. specify 'Name'
  670. e.g. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028','myrig.com:4028:Sugoi');
  671. ---------
  672. Default:
  673. $rigipsecurity = true;
  674. Set $rigipsecurity to false to show the IP/Port of the rig
  675. in the socket error messages and also show the full socket message
  676. ---------
  677. Default:
  678. $rigtotals = true;
  679. $forcerigtotals = false;
  680. Set $rigtotals to true to display totals on the single rig page
  681. 'false' means no totals (and ignores $forcerigtotals)
  682. If $rigtotals is true, all data is also right aligned
  683. With false, it's as before, left aligned
  684. This option is just here to allow people to set it to false
  685. if they prefer the old non-total display when viewing a single rig
  686. Also, if there is only one line shown in any section, then no
  687. total will be shown (to save screen space)
  688. You can force it to always show rig totals on the single rig page,
  689. even if there is only one line, by setting $forcerigtotals = true;
  690. ---------
  691. Default:
  692. $socksndtimeoutsec = 10;
  693. $sockrcvtimeoutsec = 40;
  694. The numbers are integer seconds
  695. The defaults should be OK for most cases
  696. However, the longer SND is, the longer you have to wait while
  697. php hangs if the target cgminer isn't runnning or listening
  698. RCV should only ever be relevant if cgminer has hung but the
  699. API thread is still running, RCV would normally be >= SND
  700. Feel free to increase SND if your network is very slow
  701. or decrease RCV if that happens often to you
  702. Also, on some windows PHP, apparently the $usec is ignored
  703. (so usec can't be specified)
  704. ---------
  705. Default:
  706. $hidefields = array();
  707. List of fields NOT to be displayed
  708. You can use this to hide data you don't want to see or don't want
  709. shown on a public web page
  710. The list of sections are:
  711. SUMMARY, POOL, PGA, GPU, NOTIFY, CONFIG, DEVDETAILS, DEVS
  712. See the web page for the list of field names (the table headers)
  713. It is an array of 'SECTION.Field Name' => 1
  714. This example would hide the slightly more sensitive pool information:
  715. Pool URL and pool username:
  716. $hidefields = array('POOL.URL' => 1, 'POOL.User' => 1);
  717. If you just want to hide the pool username:
  718. $hidefields = array('POOL.User' => 1);
  719. ---------
  720. Default:
  721. $ignorerefresh = false;
  722. $changerefresh = true;
  723. $autorefresh = 0;
  724. Auto-refresh of the page (in seconds) - integers only
  725. $ignorerefresh = true/false always ignore refresh parameters
  726. $changerefresh = true/false show buttons to change the value
  727. $autorefresh = default value, 0 means dont auto-refresh
  728. ---------
  729. Default:
  730. $placebuttons = 'top';
  731. Where to place the Refresh, Summary, Custom Pages, Quit, etc. buttons
  732. Valid values are: 'top' 'bot' 'both'
  733. anything else means don't show them - case sensitive
  734. ---------
  735. Default:
  736. $miner_font_family = 'verdana,arial,sans';
  737. $miner_font_size = '13pt';
  738. Change these to set the font and font size used on the web page
  739. ---------
  740. Default:
  741. $colouroverride = array();
  742. Use this to change the web page colour scheme
  743. See $colourtable in miner.php for the list of possible names to change
  744. Simply put in $colouroverride, just the colours you wish to change
  745. e.g. to change the colour of the header font and background
  746. you could do the following:
  747. $colouroverride = array(
  748. 'td.h color' => 'green',
  749. 'td.h background' => 'blue'
  750. );
  751. ---------
  752. Default:
  753. $allowcustompages = true;
  754. Should we allow custom pages?
  755. (or just completely ignore them and don't display the buttons)
  756. ---------
  757. OK this part is more complex: Custom Summary Pages
  758. A custom summary page in an array of 'section' => array('FieldA','FieldB'...)
  759. The section defines what data you want in the summary table and the Fields
  760. define what data you want shown from that section
  761. Standard sections are:
  762. SUMMARY, POOL, PGA, GPU, NOTIFY, CONFIG, DEVDETAILS, DEVS, STATS, COIN
  763. Fields are the names as shown on the headers on the normal pages
  764. Fields can be 'name=new name' to display 'name' with a different heading
  765. 'new name'
  766. There are also now joined sections:
  767. SUMMARY+POOL, SUMMARY+DEVS, SUMMARY+CONFIG, DEVS+NOTIFY, DEVS+DEVDETAILS
  768. SUMMARY+COIN
  769. These sections are an SQL join of the two sections and the fields in them
  770. are named section.field where section. is the section the field comes from
  771. See the example further down
  772. Also note:
  773. - empty tables are not shown
  774. - empty columns (e.g. an unknown field) are not shown
  775. - missing field data shows as blank
  776. - the field name '*' matches all fields except in joined sections
  777. (useful for STATS and COIN)
  778. There are 2 hard coded sections:
  779. DATE - displays a date table like at the start of 'Summary'
  780. RIGS - displays a rig table like at the start of 'Summary'
  781. Each custom summary requires a second array, that can be empty, listing fields
  782. to be totaled for each section
  783. If there is no matching total data, no total will show
  784. ---------
  785. Looking at the Mobile example:
  786. $mobilepage = array(
  787. 'DATE' => null,
  788. 'RIGS' => null,
  789. 'SUMMARY' => array('Elapsed', 'MHS av', 'Found Blocks=Blks',
  790. Accepted', 'Rejected=Rej', 'Utility'),
  791. 'DEVS+NOTIFY' => array('DEVS.Name=Name', 'DEVS.ID=ID', 'DEVS.Status=Status',
  792. 'DEVS.Temperature=Temp', 'DEVS.MHS av=MHS av',
  793. 'DEVS.Accepted=Accept', 'DEVS.Rejected=Rej',
  794. 'DEVS.Utility=Utility', 'NOTIFY.Last Not Well=Not Well'),
  795. 'POOL' => array('POOL', 'Status', 'Accepted', 'Rejected=Rej', 'Last Share Time'));
  796. $mobilesum = array(
  797. 'SUMMARY' => array('MHS av', 'Found Blocks', 'Accepted', 'Rejected', 'Utility'),
  798. 'DEVS+NOTIFY' => array('DEVS.MHS av', 'DEVS.Accepted', 'DEVS.Rejected', 'DEVS.Utility'),
  799. 'POOL' => array('Accepted', 'Rejected'));
  800. $customsummarypages = array('Mobile' => array($mobilepage, $mobilesum));
  801. This will show 5 tables (according to $mobilepage)
  802. Each table will have the chosen details for all the rigs specified in $rigs
  803. DATE
  804. A single box with the web server's current date and time
  805. RIGS
  806. A table of the rigs: description, time, versions etc
  807. SUMMARY
  808. This will use the API 'summary' command and show the selected fields:
  809. Elapsed, MHS av, Found Blocks, Accepted, Rejected and Utility
  810. However, 'Rejected=Rej' means that the header displayed for the 'Rejected'
  811. field will be 'Rej', instead of 'Rejected' (to save space)
  812. Same for 'Found Blocks=Blks' - to save space
  813. DEVS+NOTIFY
  814. This will list each of the devices on each rig and display the list of
  815. fields as shown
  816. It will also include the 'Last Not Well' field from the 'notify' command
  817. so you know when the device was last not well
  818. You will notice that you need to rename each field e.g. 'DEVS.Name=Name'
  819. since each field name in the join between DEVS and NOTIFY is actually
  820. section.fieldname, not just fieldname
  821. The join code automatically adds 2 fields to each GPU device: 'Name' and 'ID'
  822. They don't exist in the API 'devs' output but I can correctly calculate
  823. them from the GPU device data
  824. These two fields are used to join DEVS to NOTIFY i.e. find the NOTIFY
  825. record that has the same Name and ID as the DEVS record and join them
  826. POOL
  827. This will use the API 'pools' command and show the selected fields:
  828. POOL, Status, Accepted, Rejected, Last Share Time
  829. Again, I renamed the 'Rejected' field using 'Rejected=Rej', to save space
  830. $mobilesum lists the sections and fields that should have a total
  831. You can't define them for 'DATE' or 'RIGS' since they are hard coded tables
  832. The example given:
  833. SUMMARY
  834. Show a total at the bottom of the columns for:
  835. MHS av, Found Blocks, Accepted, Rejected, Utility
  836. Firstly note that you use the original name i.e. for 'Rejected=Rej'
  837. you use 'Rejected', not 'Rej' and not 'Rejected=Rej'
  838. Secondly note that it simply adds up the fields
  839. If you ask for a total of a string field you will get the numerical
  840. sum of the string data
  841. DEVS+NOTIFY
  842. Simply note in this join example that you must use the original field
  843. names which are section.fieldname, not just fieldname
  844. POOL
  845. Show a total at the bottom of the columns for:
  846. Accepted and Rejected
  847. Again remember to use the original field name 'Rejected'
