# Telemt Control API
## Purpose
This document specifies the control-plane HTTP API used for:
- runtime statistics access,
- user management,
- safe configuration mutations.
Control-plane HTTP API for runtime visibility and user/config management.
Data-plane MTProto traffic is out of scope.
The data-plane (MTProto proxy traffic) is out of scope.
## Runtime Configuration
API runtime is configured in `[server.api]`.
## Design Principles
1. Keep data-plane isolated.
The API must not affect MTProto hot paths.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `enabled` | `bool` | `false` | Enables REST API listener. |
| `listen` | `string` (`IP:PORT`) | `127.0.0.1:9091` | API bind address. |
| `whitelist` | `CIDR[]` | `127.0.0.1/32, ::1/128` | Source IP allowlist. Empty list means allow all. |
| `auth_header` | `string` | `""` | Exact value for `Authorization` header. Empty disables header auth. |
| `request_body_limit_bytes` | `usize` | `65536` | Maximum request body size. |
| `minimal_runtime_enabled` | `bool` | `false` | Enables runtime snapshot endpoints requiring ME pool read-lock aggregation. |
| `minimal_runtime_cache_ttl_ms` | `u64` | `1000` | Cache TTL for minimal snapshots. `0` disables cache. |
| `read_only` | `bool` | `false` | Disables mutating endpoints. |
2. Keep configuration authoritative.
`config.toml` is the single source of truth for managed entities.
3. Make writes safe.
All config mutations are validated and persisted atomically.
4. Be explicit about concurrency.
Mutating endpoints support optimistic concurrency through revision matching.
5. Prefer fail-fast contract errors.
Input validation errors are returned with machine-readable error codes.
## Runtime and Configuration
Control API runtime is configured under `[server.api]`.
Parameters:
- `enabled: bool`
- `listen: "IP:PORT"`
- `whitelist: [CIDR, ...]`
- `auth_header: string` (exact match against `Authorization` header; empty disables header auth)
- `request_body_limit_bytes: usize`
- `read_only: bool`
Backward compatibility:
- `server.admin_api` is accepted as an alias while `server.api` is canonical.
Operational note:
- Changes in `server.api` require process restart to take effect.
`server.admin_api` is accepted as an alias for backward compatibility.
## Protocol Contract
- Transport: HTTP/1.1
- Payload format: JSON (`application/json; charset=utf-8`)
- API prefix: `/v1`
| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Transport | HTTP/1.1 |
| Content type | `application/json; charset=utf-8` |
| Prefix | `/v1` |
| Optimistic concurrency | `If-Match: <revision>` on mutating requests (optional) |
| Revision format | SHA-256 hex of current `config.toml` content |
### Success Envelope
```json
{
"ok": true,
"data": {},
"revision": "sha256-of-config"
"revision": "sha256-hex"
}
```
@ -61,147 +45,383 @@ Operational note:
"ok": false,
"error": {
"code": "machine_code",
"message": "human-readable text"
"message": "human-readable"
},
"request_id": 1
}
```
### Revision / Concurrency Contract
- Mutating operations MAY include `If-Match: <revision>`.
- If provided and stale, API returns `409 revision_conflict`.
- Revision is a SHA-256 hash of current config file content.

## Mutation Approach
1. Acquire mutation lock.

4. Apply in-memory mutation.
5. Run config validation.
6. Persist via atomic write (`tmp + fsync + rename`).
7. Return updated revision.

### `DcStatusData`
| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `middle_proxy_enabled` | `bool` | `false` when minimal runtime is disabled or source unavailable. |
| `reason` | `string?` | `feature_disabled` or `source_unavailable` when not fully available. |
| `generated_at_epoch_secs` | `u64` | Snapshot generation time. |
| `dcs` | `DcStatus[]` | Per-DC status rows. |
#### `DcStatus`
| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `dc` | `i16` | Telegram DC id. |
| `endpoints` | `string[]` | Endpoints in this DC (`ip:port`). |
| `available_endpoints` | `usize` | Endpoints currently available in this DC. |
| `available_pct` | `f64` | `available_endpoints / endpoints_total * 100`. |
| `required_writers` | `usize` | Required writer count for this DC. |
| `alive_writers` | `usize` | Alive writers in this DC. |
| `coverage_pct` | `f64` | `alive_writers / required_writers * 100`. |
| `rtt_ms` | `f64?` | Aggregated RTT for DC. |
| `load` | `usize` | Active client sessions bound to this DC. |
### `UserInfo`
| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `username` | `string` | Username. |
| `user_ad_tag` | `string?` | Optional ad tag (32 hex chars). |
| `max_tcp_conns` | `usize?` | Optional max concurrent TCP limit. |
| `expiration_rfc3339` | `string?` | Optional expiration timestamp. |
| `data_quota_bytes` | `u64?` | Optional data quota. |
| `max_unique_ips` | `usize?` | Optional unique IP limit. |
| `current_connections` | `u64` | Current live connections. |
| `active_unique_ips` | `usize` | Current active unique source IPs. |
| `total_octets` | `u64` | Total traffic octets for this user. |
| `links` | `UserLinks` | Active connection links derived from current config. |
#### `UserLinks`
| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `classic` | `string[]` | Active `tg://proxy` links for classic mode. |
| `secure` | `string[]` | Active `tg://proxy` links for secure/DD mode. |
| `tls` | `string[]` | Active `tg://proxy` links for EE-TLS mode (for each host+TLS domain). |
Link generation uses active config and enabled modes:
- `[general.links].public_host/public_port` have priority.
- Fallback host sources: listener `announce`, `announce_ip`, explicit listener `ip`.
- Legacy fallback: `listen_addr_ipv4` and `listen_addr_ipv6` when routable.
### `CreateUserResponse`
| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `user` | `UserInfo` | Created or updated user view. |
| `secret` | `string` | Effective user secret. |
## Mutation Semantics
| Endpoint | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| `POST /v1/users` | Creates user and validates resulting config before atomic save. |
| `PATCH /v1/users/{username}` | Partial update of provided fields only. Missing fields remain unchanged. |
| `POST /v1/users/{username}/rotate-secret` | Replaces secret. Empty body is allowed and auto-generates secret. |
| `DELETE /v1/users/{username}` | Deletes user and related optional settings. Last user deletion is blocked. |
All mutating endpoints:
- Respect `read_only` mode.
- Accept optional `If-Match` for optimistic concurrency.
- Return new `revision` after successful write.
## Operational Notes
| Topic | Details |
| --- | --- |
| API startup | API binds only when `[server.api].enabled=true`. |
| Restart requirements | Changes in `server.api` settings require process restart. |
| Runtime apply path | Successful writes are picked up by existing config watcher/hot-reload path. |
| Exposure | Built-in TLS/mTLS is not provided. Use loopback bind + reverse proxy if needed. |
| Pagination | User list currently has no pagination/filtering. |
| Serialization side effect | Config comments/manual formatting are not preserved on write. |
