PeerTube (6.3.0)

Download OpenAPI specification:Download

URL: https://joinpeertube.org License: AGPLv3.0

The PeerTube API is built on HTTP(S) and is RESTful. You can use your favorite HTTP/REST library for your programming language to use PeerTube. The spec API is fully compatible with openapi-generator which generates a client SDK in the language of your choice - we generate some client SDKs automatically:

See the REST API quick start for a few examples of using the PeerTube API.

https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html

Authentication

When you sign up for an account on a PeerTube instance, you are given the possibility to generate sessions on it, and authenticate there using an access token. Only one access token can currently be used at a time.

Roles

Accounts are given permissions based on their role. There are three roles on PeerTube: Administrator, Moderator, and User. See the roles guide for a detail of their permissions.

Errors

The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of the API call, completed by a RFC7807-compliant response body.

HTTP 1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: application/problem+json; charset=utf-8

{
  "detail": "Video not found",
  "docs": "https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#operation/getVideo",
  "status": 404,
  "title": "Not Found",
  "type": "about:blank"
}

We provide error type (following RFC7807) and code (internal PeerTube code) values for a growing number of cases, but it is still optional. Types are used to disambiguate errors that bear the same status code and are non-obvious:

HTTP 1.1 403 Forbidden
Content-Type: application/problem+json; charset=utf-8

{
  "detail": "Cannot get this video regarding follow constraints",
  "docs": "https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#operation/getVideo",
  "status": 403,
  "title": "Forbidden",
  "type": "https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#section/Errors/does_not_respect_follow_constraints"
}

Here a 403 error could otherwise mean that the video is private or blocklisted.

Validation errors

Each parameter is evaluated on its own against a set of rules before the route validator proceeds with potential testing involving parameter combinations. Errors coming from validation errors appear earlier and benefit from a more detailed error description:

HTTP 1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json; charset=utf-8

{
  "detail": "Incorrect request parameters: id",
  "docs": "https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#operation/getVideo",
  "instance": "/api/v1/videos/9c9de5e8-0a1e-484a-b099-e80766180",
  "invalid-params": {
    "id": {
      "location": "params",
      "msg": "Invalid value",
      "param": "id",
      "value": "9c9de5e8-0a1e-484a-b099-e80766180"
    }
  },
  "status": 400,
  "title": "Bad Request",
  "type": "about:blank"
}

Where id is the name of the field concerned by the error, within the route definition. invalid-params.<field>.location can be either 'params', 'body', 'header', 'query' or 'cookies', and invalid-params.<field>.value reports the value that didn't pass validation whose invalid-params.<field>.msg is about.

Deprecated error fields

Some fields could be included with previous versions. They are still included but their use is deprecated:

  • error: superseded by detail

Rate limits

We are rate-limiting all endpoints of PeerTube's API. Custom values can be set by administrators:

Endpoint (prefix: /api/v1) Calls Time frame
/* 50 10 seconds
POST /users/token 15 5 minutes
POST /users/register 2* 5 minutes
POST /users/ask-send-verify-email 3 5 minutes

Depending on the endpoint, *failed requests are not taken into account. A service limit is announced by a 429 Too Many Requests status code.

You can get details about the current state of your rate limit by reading the following headers:

Header Description
X-RateLimit-Limit Number of max requests allowed in the current time period
X-RateLimit-Remaining Number of remaining requests in the current time period
X-RateLimit-Reset Timestamp of end of current time period as UNIX timestamp
Retry-After Seconds to delay after the first 429 is received

CORS

This API features Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), allowing cross-domain communication from the browser for some routes:

| Endpoint | |------------------------- ---| | /api/* | | /download/* | | /lazy-static/* | | /.well-known/webfinger |

In addition, all routes serving ActivityPub are CORS-enabled for all origins.

Send chunk for the resumable upload of a video

Uses a resumable protocol to continue, pause or resume the upload of a video

Authorizations:
OAuth2
query Parameters
upload_id

header Parameters
Content-Length
required
number
Example: 262144

search
required
string

String to search. If the user can make a remote URI search, and the string is an URI then the PeerTube instance will fetch the remote object and add it to its database. Then, you can use the REST API to fetch the complete video information and interact with it.

searchTarget
string
Enum: "local" "search-index"

If the administrator enabled search index support, you can override the default search target.

Warning: If you choose to make an index search, PeerTube will get results from a third party service. It means the instance may not yet know the objects you fetched. If you want to load video/channel information:

  • If the current user has the ability to make a remote URI search (this information is available in the config endpoint), then reuse the search API to make a search using the object URI so PeerTube instance fetches the remote object and fill its database. After that, you can use the classic REST API endpoints to fetch the complete object or interact with it
  • If the current user doesn't have the ability to make a remote URI search, then redirect the user on the origin instance or fetch the data from the origin instance API

Video Upload

Operations dealing with adding video or audio. PeerTube supports two upload modes, and three import modes.

Upload

  • legacy, where the video file is sent in a single request
  • resumable, where the video file is sent in chunks

You can upload videos more reliably by using the resumable variant. Its protocol lets you resume an upload operation after a network interruption or other transmission failure, saving time and bandwidth in the event of network failures.

Favor using resumable uploads in any of the following cases:

  • You are transferring large files
  • The likelihood of a network interruption is high
  • Uploads are originating from a device with a low-bandwidth or unstable Internet connection, such as a mobile device

Import

  • URL-based: where the URL points to any service supported by youtube-dl
  • magnet-based: where the URI resolves to a BitTorrent resource containing a single supported video file
  • torrent-based: where the metainfo file resolves to a BitTorrent resource containing a single supported video file

The import function is practical when the desired video/audio is available online. It makes PeerTube download it for you, saving you as much bandwidth and avoiding any instability or limitation your network might have.

Warning: If you choose to make an index search, PeerTube will get results from a third party service. It means the instance may not yet know the objects you fetched. If you want to load video/channel information:

  • If the current user has the ability to make a remote URI search (this information is available in the config endpoint), then reuse the search API to make a search using the object URI so PeerTube instance fetches the remote object and fill its database. After that, you can use the classic REST API endpoints to fetch the complete object or interact with it
  • If the current user doesn't have the ability to make a remote URI search, then redirect the user on the origin instance or fetch the data from the origin instance API

Instance Follows

Managing servers which the instance interacts with is crucial to the concept of federation in PeerTube and external video indexation. The PeerTube server then deals with inter-server ActivityPub operations and propagates information across its social graph by posting activities to actors' inbox endpoints.
