# LedGrab API Reference

Complete REST + WebSocket API reference for the LedGrab server.

- **Base URL:** `http://localhost:8080`
- **API version:** `v1` (all REST paths are under `/api/v1`, except `/health`)
- **Interactive docs:** Swagger UI at [`/docs`](http://localhost:8080/docs), ReDoc at [`/redoc`](http://localhost:8080/redoc), raw schema at [`/openapi.json`](http://localhost:8080/openapi.json). The interactive docs are always the authoritative, up-to-date source for request/response schemas — this file is a hand-maintained overview.

> The application version is reported by `GET /api/v1/version`; this document is version-agnostic.

## Authentication

LedGrab uses API-key authentication. The behavior depends on whether any keys are configured under `auth.api_keys` (see [INSTALLATION.md](../INSTALLATION.md)):

| Situation | Loopback (`127.0.0.1` / `::1` / `localhost`) | LAN / remote |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| **No keys configured** (default) | Allowed anonymously | **Rejected with `401`** |
| **Keys configured** | Valid Bearer token required | Valid Bearer token required |

Pass the key as a Bearer token:

```http
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>
```

A few **sensitive endpoints require a real API key even from localhost** (they reject the loopback-anonymous identity): the backup download/restore endpoints, and any endpoint that reveals stored secrets (e.g. `GET /api/v1/home-assistant/sources?include_secrets=true`). Configure a key to use those.

WebSocket endpoints authenticate with a [first-message handshake](#websocket-protocol) rather than the `Authorization` header.

---

## Conventions

- **Content type:** request and response bodies are JSON (`application/json`) unless noted (file uploads use `multipart/form-data`; some endpoints stream binary or file responses).
- **Errors:** failures return the standard FastAPI shape with an HTTP status code and a body of `{"detail": "<message>"}`. Validation errors return `422` with a structured `detail` array.
- **IDs:** entities are addressed by string IDs (e.g. `dev_…`, `ot_…`, `css_…`) generated on creation.
- **Common create/update fields:** most configurable entities accept `name`, `description`, `tags` (string array), and UI styling fields `icon` and `icon_color`.
- **Referential integrity:** deleting an entity that is still referenced (e.g. a device used by an output target) returns `409 Conflict`.
- **Timestamps:** ISO-8601 UTC strings.

---

## WebSocket protocol

All WebSocket endpoints share the same auth handshake:

1. The client connects. The server accepts the socket.
2. The client sends a JSON auth message as the **first** message, within ~3 seconds: `{"type": "auth", "token": "<your-api-key>"}`. On loopback with no keys configured, `token` may be `null` or the message omitted.
3. The server replies `{"type": "auth_ok"}` on success, or `{"type": "auth_error", "reason": "..."}` then closes (close code `4401`) on failure. A cross-site `Origin` is rejected with close code `4403`.

Browser clients must connect from an allowed `cors_origins` origin. After `auth_ok`, the stream payload depends on the endpoint (JSON event objects, JSON spectrum/metric frames, or binary RGB frames — see each endpoint's description).

The WebSocket endpoints are listed within their resource sections below (method `WS`).

---

## Worked examples

> Example values are illustrative.

**Health check** — `GET /health` (no auth on loopback):

```json
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "timestamp": "2026-05-29T12:00:00Z",
  "version": "0.8.1",
  "demo_mode": false,
  "auth_required": false,
  "setup_required": false,
  "uptime_seconds": 3600
}
```

**Create a WLED device** — `POST /api/v1/devices`:

```json
{
  "name": "Living Room TV",
  "url": "http://192.168.1.100",
  "device_type": "wled",
  "led_count": 150
}
```

Response `201 Created` returns the stored device, including its generated `id`. (For Adalight, send `device_type: "adalight"`, the serial `url` like `COM3` or `/dev/ttyUSB0`, `led_count`, and `baud_rate`. Each device type accepts its own fields — see `/docs`.)

**Start / stop a target** — `POST /api/v1/output-targets/{target_id}/start`:

```json
{ "status": "started", "target_id": "ot_abc123" }
```

**Authenticated request with a configured key:**

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/devices
```

A `float` combinator. Fields: `template` (a Jinja *expression*), `inputs` (`[{name, value_source_id}]` bindings to other value sources), `default_value` (fallback in `[0,1]` on any error), and `eval_interval` (optional re-eval throttle in seconds; `0`/null = every poll). At runtime each input is exposed by its `name` (the source's normalized `0..1` value) plus `raw[name]` (its un-normalized value, where available). Globals: `min`, `max`, `abs`, `round`, `clamp(x, lo=0, hi=1)`. The expression runs in a hardened `ImmutableSandboxedEnvironment` (no statements/blocks, filters, attribute access, `**`, or string repetition); results are coerced, NaN/inf-rejected, and clamped to `[0,1]`. Reference cycles and over-deep nesting are rejected at save time. For time-of-day logic, bind an `adaptive_time` or `daylight` source as an input.

Ordered, timed sequences of scene presets that auto-cycle. The engine drives
**one** playlist at a time — starting a playlist stops any other. Each item

order each cycle.
