## Basic Configuration

**API Base URL:** `http://your-host:8484`

All API endpoints (except `/api/is-auth-active`) require authentication if `ADMIN_PASSWORD` is set in your Docker configuration.

---

## Authentication

Tidarr supports two authentication methods:

### Method 1: API Key (Recommended for automation)

The API key is automatically generated on first startup and stored in `/shared/.tidarr-api-key`.

**Get your API key:**
```bash
# Via Docker
docker exec tidarr cat /shared/.tidarr-api-key

# Or via Web UI: Settings → Authentication → API Key
```

**Use it in requests:**
```bash
# Via header (recommended)
curl http://localhost:8484/api/settings \
  -H "X-Api-Key: your-api-key"

# Via query parameter
curl "http://localhost:8484/api/settings?apikey=your-api-key"
```

**Advantages:**
- ✅ Secure random 64-character key
- ✅ No expiration (unlike JWT tokens)
- ✅ Standard for *arr applications
- ✅ Can be regenerated anytime

**Management endpoints:**

**Get current API key** (requires JWT):
```bash
GET /api/api-key
```

**Regenerate API key** (requires JWT):
```bash
POST /api/api-key/regenerate
```
⚠️ Warning: Invalidates the current key. Update it everywhere it's used.

---

### Method 2: JWT Token (For web UI and interactive sessions)

**Login:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8484/api/auth \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"password": "your_password"}'
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
}
```

**Use the token:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:8484/api/settings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-jwt-token"
```

---

### Check if authentication is active

```bash
GET /api/is-auth-active
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "isAuthActive": true,
  "authType": "password"
}
```

**Possible `authType` values:**
- `"password"` - Password authentication (ADMIN_PASSWORD)
- `"oidc"` - OpenID Connect authentication
- `null` - No authentication configured

**Note:** All examples below use the API key method (`X-Api-Key` header).

---

### Method 3: OpenID Connect (OIDC) Authentication

Tidarr supports OIDC authentication for integration with identity providers like Keycloak, PocketID, Authentik, etc.

**Initiate OIDC login:**
```bash
GET /api/auth/oidc/login
```

Redirects the user to the configured OIDC provider for authentication.

**OIDC callback:**
```bash
GET /api/auth/oidc/callback
```

Handles the OIDC callback and issues a JWT token. Redirects to the frontend with the token.

**Required environment variables:**
- `OIDC_ISSUER` - The URL of your OpenID Connect provider
- `OIDC_CLIENT_ID` - The client ID registered in your OIDC provider
- `OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` - The client secret for your application
- `OIDC_REDIRECT_URI` - The callback URL (e.g., `https://your-tidarr-domain.com/api/auth/oidc/callback`)

---

## Playback Endpoints

### Generate signed streaming URL

```bash
GET /api/stream/sign/:id
```

Generates a time-limited signed URL for audio streaming.

**Parameters:**
- `id` - The Tidal track ID

**Example:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:8484/api/stream/sign/123456789 \
  -H "X-Api-Key: your-api-key"
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "url": "/api/stream/play/123456789?exp=1234567890&sig=abc123..."
}
```

**Note:** The signed URL expires after 5 minutes.

---

### Play audio stream

```bash
GET /api/stream/play/:id?exp={expiration}&sig={signature}
```

Streams audio content with signature validation. Supports range requests for seeking.

**Parameters:**
- `id` - The Tidal track ID
- `exp` - Expiration timestamp (from signed URL)
- `sig` - Signature (from signed URL)

**Note:** This endpoint is typically called via the signed URL obtained from `/api/stream/sign/:id`.

---

  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"id": "251082404"}'
```

**Response:** `204 No Content`

**Behavior:**
- Item is downloaded immediately, bypassing the paused queue
- Full post-processing pipeline runs (beets, permissions, move, notifications)
- Item ends as `finished` in the queue

**Error:** `500` if the item is not found.
