What is OpenSubsonic API?

The OpenSubsonic API allows anyone to build their own programs using a compatible server, whether they’re on the web, the desktop, or on mobile devices. All the OpenSubsonic-compatible apps (clients and servers) are built using the OpenSubsonic API.

The OpenSubsonic API allows you to call methods that respond in REST style XML or JSON. Since most clients now only rely on JSON, this documentation only shows the JSON answers in the documentation.

This project is built upon the original Subsonic API.

See:

  • OpenSubsonic API for the API documentation.
  • Goals for some of the goals of this project.
  • Issues for some of the issues this project tries to solve over the original API.

Participants

OpenSubsonic is built with servers and clients trying to improve the global media center ecosystem by providing a common expandable API that can fit most of the needs of modern music apps.

Any server or client can join the organization and make proposals OpenSubsonic. The only condition is that if (as a client) you request an API extension that is accepted, you engage yourself in implementing it in your client in a timely manner.

Servers

Clients

Goals

The OpenSubsonic API has several goals, which include:

  • Being an open, collaboratively maintained specification.
  • Ensuring security across all extensions.
  • Maintaining complete backwards compatibility with the existing Subsonic API.
  • Offering piecewise optional implementation for servers and clients.

Addressing Issues with the Subsonic API

Some of the issues the OpenSubsonic API aims to address include:

  • Outdated and insecure authentication methods.
  • Suboptimal versioning schema.
  • Insufficient methods for expressing server functionality.
  • Lack of an open and collaborative way to evolve the API.

By extending the existing Subsonic API, the OpenSubsonic API hopes to create a more secure, flexible, and collaborative environment for the Subsonic ecosystem.

1 - OpenSubsonic API

API details and methods.

See API Reference for the basic API documentation. (Mandatory parameters, authentication, error handling, …)

Be sure to read OpenSubsonic changes to easily identify the changes brought by OpenSubsonic.

File structure vs ID3 tags

Starting with version 1.8.0, the API provides methods for accessing the media collection organized according to ID3 tags, rather than file structure.

For instance, browsing through the collection using ID3 tags should use the getArtists, getArtist and getAlbum methods. To browse using file structure you would use getIndexes and getMusicDirectory.

Correspondingly, there are two sets of methods for searching, starring and album lists. Refer to the method documentation for details.

2 - API Reference

Common API documentation.

Parameters

Please note that all methods take the following parameters:

Parameter Req. OpenS. Default Comment
u Yes The username.
p Yes* The password, either in clear text or hex-encoded with a “enc:” prefix. Since 1.13.0 this should only be used for testing purposes.
t Yes* (Since 1.13.0) The authentication token computed as md5(password + salt). See below for details.
s Yes* (Since 1.13.0) A random string (“salt”) used as input for computing the password hash. See below for details.
v Yes The protocol version implemented by the client, i.e., the version of the subsonic-rest-api.xsd schema used (see below).
c Yes A unique string identifying the client application.
f No xml Request data to be returned in this format. Supported values are “xml”, “json” (since 1.4.0) and “jsonp” (since 1.6.0). If using jsonp, specify name of javascript callback function using a callback parameter.

*) Either p or both t and s must be specified.

Remember to URL encode the request parameters. All methods (except those that return binary data) returns XML documents conforming to the subsonic-rest-api.xsd schema. The XML documents are encoded with UTF-8.

POST support

OpenSubsonic add official support for application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST to pass the argument.

Check that the server support the HTTP form POST extension before using it.

The arguments can then be passed in the POST body (Do not forget to URL encode both the keys and values), this allows to overcome the URL size limits when passing many parameters for playlists for example.

Authentication

If you are targeting API version 1.12.0 or earlier, authentication is performed by sending the password as clear text or hex-encoded. Examples:

Starting with API version 1.13.0, the recommended authentication scheme is to send an authentication token, calculated as a one-way salted hash of the password.

This involves two steps:

  1. For each REST call, generate a random string called the salt. Send this as parameter s. Use a salt length of at least six characters.
  2. Calculate the authentication token as follows: token = md5(password + salt). The md5() function takes a string and returns the 32-byte ASCII hexadecimal representation of the MD5 hash, using lower case characters for the hex values. The ‘+’ operator represents concatenation of the two strings. Treat the strings as UTF-8 encoded when calculating the hash. Send the result as parameter t.

For example: if the password is sesame and the random salt is c19b2d, then token = md5(“sesamec19b2d”) = 26719a1196d2a940705a59634eb18eab. The corresponding request URL then becomes:

Subsonic-response

All API endpoint unless noted otherwise returns a subsonic-response that indicate the result of the command and give some information about the server.

{
  "subsonic-response": {
    "status": "ok",
    "version": "1.16.1",
    "type": "AwesomeServerName",
    "serverVersion": "0.1.3 (tag)",
    "openSubsonic": true
  }
}
{
  "subsonic-response": {
    "status": "ok",
    "version": "1.16.1"
  }
}

See: subsonic-response for the field details.

Error handling

If a method fails it will return an error code and message in an error element. In addition, the status attribute of the subsonic-response root element will be set to failed instead of ok. For example:

{
  "subsonic-response": {
    "status": "failed",
    "version": "1.16.1",
    "type": "AwesomeServerName",
    "serverVersion": "0.1.3 (tag)",
    "openSubsonic": true,
    "error": {
      "code": 40,
      "message": "Wrong username or password"
    }
  }
}
{
  "subsonic-response": {
    "status": "failed",
    "version": "1.16.1",
    "error": {
      "code": 40,
      "message": "Wrong username or password"
    }
  }
}
Field Type Req. OpenS. Details
error error Yes The error details.
code int Yes The error code.
message string No A humand readable error message.

The following error codes are defined:

Code Description
0 A generic error.
10 Required parameter is missing.
20 Incompatible Subsonic REST protocol version. Client must upgrade.
30 Incompatible Subsonic REST protocol version. Server must upgrade.
40 Wrong username or password.
41 Token authentication not supported for LDAP users.
50 User is not authorized for the given operation.
60 The trial period for the Subsonic server is over. Please upgrade to Subsonic Premium. Visit subsonic.org for details.
70 The requested data was not found.

3 - OpenSubsonic changes

API changes in OpenSubsonic API vs the original Subsonic API.

Documentation

In the documentation all changes from the original Subsonic API will be emphasized with the following warning:

All endpoints or responses modified by the OpenSubsonic API will have [OS] indicator in the navigation menu.

OpenSubsonic server support will documented by a table at the end of the corresponding page. (Ex: search3)

OpenSubsonic expand the original API via 3 different ways:

  • Clarifications: Documentation improvement to ensure consistency in server answers or actions where doubt was possible.
  • Extensions: Non breaking changes to the API to improve clients life. Like new returned field, or new parameters to existing functions.
  • Additions: New endpoints added to provide functions that could not be provided via non breaking extensions.

Required changes

OpenSubsonic is built to be mostly optional to ease the burden on the servers who can’t support some features, while still allowing clients to precisely know what the servers support without having to guess.

To achieve this servers supporting OpenSubsonic have to support a very minimal subset of things.

  1. Expand the subsonic-response with the new mandatory fields.
  2. Implement the getOpenSubsonicExtensions endpoint.
  3. Return error 41 (API Reference) if they do not support Subsonic 1.13.0 new authentification system while advertising a version > 1.13.0

5.61 - hls

Downloads a given media file.

http://your-server/rest/hls.m3u8 Since 1.8.0

Creates an HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) playlist used for streaming video or audio. HLS is a streaming protocol implemented by Apple and works by breaking the overall stream into a sequence of small HTTP-based file downloads. It’s supported by iOS and newer versions of Android. This method also supports adaptive bitrate streaming, see the bitRate parameter.

Parameters

Parameter Req. OpenS. Default Comment
id Yes A string which uniquely identifies the media file to stream.
bitRate No If specified, the server will attempt to limit the bitrate to this value, in kilobits per second. If this parameter is specified more than once, the server will create a variant playlist, suitable for adaptive bitrate streaming. The playlist will support streaming at all the specified bitrates. The server will automatically choose video dimensions that are suitable for the given bitrates. Since 1.9.0 you may explicitly request a certain width (480) and height (360) like so: bitRate=1000@480x360
audioTrack No The ID of the audio track to use. SeegetVideoInfo for how to get the list of available audio tracks for a video.

8 - Subsonic API versions

Subsonic API versions.

Versions

This table shows the REST API version implemented in different Subsonic versions:

Subsonic version REST API version
6.1.4 1.16.1
6.1.2 1.16.0
6.1 1.15.0
6.0 1.14.0
5.3 1.13.0
5.2 1.12.0
5.1 1.11.0
4.9 1.10.2
4.8 1.9.0
4.7 1.8.0
4.6 1.7.0
4.5 1.6.0
4.4 1.5.0
4.2 1.4.0
4.1 1.3.0
4.0 1.2.0
3.9 1.1.1
3.8 1.1.0

Note that a Subsonic-compatible server is backward compatible with a REST client if and only if the major version is the same, and the minor version of the client is less than or equal to the server’s. For example, if the server has REST API version 2.2, it supports client versions 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, but not versions 1.x, 2.3+ or 3.x. The third part of the version number is not used to determine compatibility.
