API
Most API methods are supported over both the Websocket and HTTP transports. File Transfer and "/access" requests are only available over HTTP. The Websocket is required to receive printer generated events such as gcode responses. For information on how to set up the Websocket, please see the Appendix at the end of this document.
Note that all HTTP responses are returned as a json encoded object in the form of:
{result: <response data>}
Arguments sent via the HTTP APIs may either be included in the query string or as part of the request's body. All of the examples in this document use the query string for arguments.
Websocket requests are returned in JSON-RPC format:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", "result": <response data>, id: <request id>}
HTML requests will recieve a 500 status code on error, accompanied by the specific error message.
Websocket requests that result in an error will receive a properly formatted
JSON-RPC response:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", "error": {code: <code>, message: <msg>}, id: <request_id>}
Note that under some circumstances it may not be possible for the server to
return a request ID, such as an improperly formatted json request.
The test\client
folder includes a basic test interface with example usage for
most of the requests below. It also includes a basic JSON-RPC implementation
that uses promises to return responses and errors (see json-rcp.js).

connection_id
is passed via the query string or as part of the form. This should be the ID reported from a currently connected websocket. A request that includes only theconnection_id
argument will cancel the subscription on the specified websocket. -
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "printer.objects.subscribe", params: {objects: {gcode: null, toolhead: ["position", "status"]}}, id: <request id>}
Note that if

}
Note that klippy_state
will match the state
value received from
/printer/info
. The klippy_connected
item tracks the state of the
connection to Klippy. The plugins
key will return a list of all
enabled plugins. This can be used by clients to check if an optional
plugin is available.

File Operations
Most file operations are available over both APIs, however file upload, file download, and file delete are currently only available via HTTP APIs.
Moonraker organizes different local directories into "roots". For example,
gcodes are located at http:\\host\server\files\gcodes\*
, otherwise known
as the "gcodes" root. The following roots are available:
- gcodes
- config
- config_examples (read-only)
Write operations (upload, delete, make directory, remove directory) are
only available on the gcodes
and config roots. Note that the config
root
is only available if the "config_path" option has been set in Moonraker's
configuration.
List Available Files
Walks through a directory and fetches all files. All file names include a path relative to the specified "root". Note that if the query st
-
HTTP command:
GET /server/files/list?root=gcodes
If the query string is omitted then the command will return the "gcodes" file list by default.
-
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.list", params: {root: "gcodes"} , id: <request id>}
If
params
are are omitted then the command will return the "gcodes" file list. -
Returns:
A list of objects containing file data in the following format:
[
{filename: "file name",
size: <file_size>,
modified: <unix_time>,
...]
Get GCode Metadata
Get file metadata for a specified gcode file. If the file is located in
a subdirectory, then the file name should include the path relative to
the "gcodes" root. For example, if the file is located at:
http://host/server/files/gcodes/my_sub_dir/my_print.gcode
Then the filename should be my_sub_dir/my_print.gcode
.
-
HTTP command:
GET /server/files/metadata?filename=<filename>
-
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.metadata", params: {filename: "filename"} , id: <request id>}
-
Returns:
Metadata for the requested file if it exists. If any fields failed parsing they will be omitted. The metadata will always include the file name, modified time, and size.
{
filename: "file name",
size: <file_size>,
modified: <unix_time>,
slicer: "Slicer Name",
slicer_version: "<version>",
first_layer_height: <mm>,
first_layer_bed_temp: <C>,
first_layer_extr_temp: <C>,
layer_height: <mm>,
object_height: <mm>,
estimated_time: <time_in_seconds>,
filament_total: <mm>,
thumbnails: [
{
width: <in_pixels>,
height: <in_pixels>,
size: <length_of_string>,
data: <base64_string>
}, ...
]
}
Get directory information
Returns a list of files and subdirectories given a supplied path.
Unlike /server/files/list
, this command does not walk through
subdirectories.
-
HTTP command:
GET /server/files/directory?path=gcodes/my_subdir&extended=true
If the query string is omitted then the command will return the "gcodes" file list by default.
-
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.get_directory", params: {path: "gcodes/my_subdir", extended: true} , id: <request id>}
If the "params" are omitted then the command will return the "gcodes" file list by default.
The extended
argument is optional, and defaults to false. If
specified and set to true, then data returned for gcode files
will also include metadata if it is available.
- Returns:
An object containing file and subdirectory information in the following format:
{
files: [
{
filename: "file name",
size: <file_size>,
modified: <unix_time>
}, ...
],
dirs: [
{
dirname: "directory name",
modified: <unix_time>
}
]
}
Make new directory
Creates a new directory at the specified path.
-
HTTP command:
POST /server/files/directory?path=gcodes/my_new_dir
-
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.post_directory", params: {path: "gcodes/my_new_dir"}, id: <request id>}
Returns:
ok
if successful
Delete directory
Deletes a directory at the specified path.
-
HTTP command:
DELETE /server/files/directory?path=gcodes/my_subdir
-
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.delete_directory", params: {path: "gcodes/my_subdir"} , id: <request id>}
If the specified directory contains files then the delete request will fail, however it is possible to "force" deletion of the directory and all files in it with and additional argument in the query string:
DELETE /server/files/directory?path=gcodes/my_subdir&force=true
OR to the JSON-RPC params:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "get_directory", params: {path: "gcodes/my_subdir", force: True}, id: <request id>}
Note that a forced deletion will still check in with Klippy to be sure that a file in the requested directory is not loaded by the virtual_sdcard.
-
Returns:
ok
if successful
Move a file or directory
Moves a file or directory from one location to another. Note that the following conditions must be met for a move successful move:
- The source must exist
- The source and destinations must have the same "root" directory
- The user (typically "Pi") must have the appropriate file permissions
- Neither the source nor destination can be loaded by the virtual_sdcard. If the source or destination is a directory, it cannot contain a file loaded by the virtual_sdcard.
When specifying the source
and dest
, the "root" directory should be
prefixed. Currently the only supported roots are "gcodes/" and "config/".
This API may also be used to rename a file or directory. Be aware that an attempt to rename a directory to a directory that already exists will result in moving the source directory to the destination directory.
-
HTTP command:
POST /server/files/move?source=gcodes/my_file.gcode &dest=gcodes/subdir/my_file.gcode
-
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.move", params: {source: "gcodes/my_file.gcode", dest: "gcodes/subdir/my_file.gcode"}, id: <request id>}
Copy a file or directory
Copies a file or directory from one location to another. A successful copy has the pre-requesites as a move with one exception, a copy may complete if the source file/directory is loaded by the virtual_sdcard. As with the move API, the source and destination should have the root prefixed.
-
HTTP command:
POST /server/files/copy?source=gcodes/my_file.gcode &dest=gcodes/subdir/my_file.gcode
-
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.copy", params: {source: "gcodes/my_file.gcode", dest: "gcodes/subdir/my_file.gcode"}, id: <request id>}
Gcode File Download
-
HTTP command:
GET /server/files/gcodes/<file_name>
-
Websocket command:
Not Available -
Returns:
The requested file
File Upload
Upload a file. Currently files may be uploaded to the "gcodes" or "config" root, with "gcodes" being the default location. If one wishes to upload to a subdirectory, the path may be added to the upload's file name (relative to the root). If the directory does not exist an error will be returned. Alternatively, the "path" argument may be set, as explained below.
-
HTTP command:
POST /server/files/upload
The file to be uploaded should be added to the FormData per the XHR spec. The following arguments may be added to the form:
- root: The root location in which to upload the file. Currently this may be "gcodes" or "config". If not specified the default is "gcodes".
- path: This argument may contain a path (relative to the root) indicating a subdirectory to which the file is written. If a "path" is present, the server will attempt to create any subdirectories that do not exist. Arguments available only for the "gcodes" root:
- print: If set to "true", Klippy will attempt to start the print after uploading. Note that this value should be a string type, not boolean. This provides compatibility with Octoprint's legacy upload API.
-
Websocket command:
Not Available -
Returns:
The file name along with a successful response.{'result': "file_name"}
If the supplied root is "gcodes", a "print_started" attribute is also returned.
{'result': "file_name", 'print_started': <boolean>}
Gcode File Delete
Delete a file in the "gcodes" root. A relative path may be added to the file to delete a file in a subdirectory.
-
HTTP command:
DELETE /server/files/gcodes/<file_name>
-
Websocket command:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.delete_file", params: {path: "gcodes/<file_name>"}, id: <request id>}
If the gcode file exists within a subdirectory, the relative path should be included in the file name.

Authorization
Untrusted Clients must use a key to access the API by including it in the
X-Api-Key
header for each HTTP Request. The API below allows authorized
clients to receive and change the current API Key.
Get the Current API Key
-
HTTP command:
GET /access/api_key
-
Websocket command:
Not Available -
Returns:
The current API key
Generate a New API Key
-
HTTP command:
POST /access/api_key
-
Websocket command:
Not available -
Returns:
The newly generated API key. This overwrites the previous key. Note that the API key change is applied immediately, all subsequent HTTP requests from untrusted clients must use the new key.
Generate a Oneshot Token
Some HTTP Requests do not expose the ability the change the headers, which is
required to apply the X-Api-Key
. To accomodiate these requests it a client
may ask the server for a Oneshot Token. Tokens expire in 5 seconds and may
only be used once, making them relatively for inclusion in the query string.
-
HTTP command:
GET /access/oneshot_token
-
Websocket command: Not available
-
Returns:
A temporary token that may be added to a requests query string for access to any API endpoint. The query string should be added in the form of:?token=randomly_generated_token
Websocket notifications
Printer generated events are sent over the websocket as JSON-RPC 2.0 notifications. These notifications are sent to all connected clients in the following format:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: <event method name>}
OR
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: <event method name>, params: [<event parameter>]}
If a notification has parameters, the params
value will always be
wrapped in an array as directed by the JSON-RPC standard. Currently
all notifications available are broadcast with either no parameters
or a single parameter.
Gcode response:
All calls to gcode.respond() are forwarded over the websocket. They arrive as a "gcode_response" notification:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "notify_gcode_response", params: ["response"]}
Status subscriptions:
Status Subscriptions arrive as a "notify_status_update" notification:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "notify_status_update", params: [<status_data>]}
The structure of the status data is identical to the structure that is returned from an object query's "status" attribute.
Klippy Ready:
Notify clients when Klippy has reported a ready state
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "notify_klippy_ready"}
Klippy Disconnected:
Notify clients when Moonraker's connection to Klippy has terminated
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "notify_klippy_disconnected"}
File List Changed
When a client makes a change to the virtual sdcard file list (via upload or delete) a notification is broadcast to alert all connected clients of the change:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "notify_filelist_changed", params: [<file changed info>]}
The param is an object in the following format, where the "action" is the operation that prompted the change, and the "item" contains information about the item that has changed:
{action: "<action>",
item: {
path: "<file or directory path>",
root: "<root_name>",
size: <file size>,
modified: "<date modified>"
}
Note that file move and copy actions also include a "source item" that contains the path and root of the source file or directory.
{action: "<action>",
item: {
path: "<file or directory path>",
root: "<root_name>",
size: <file size>,
modified: "<date modified>"
},
source_item: {
path: "<file or directory path>",
root: "<root_name>"
}
}
The following actions
are currently available:
upload_file
delete_file
create_dir
delete_dir
move_item
copy_item
Metadata Update
When a new file is uploaded via the API a websocket notification is broadcast to all connected clients after parsing is complete:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "notify_metadata_update", params: [metadata]}
Where metadata
is an object in the following format:
{
filename: "file name",
size: <file size>,
modified: "last modified date",
slicer: "Slicer Name",
first_layer_height: <in mm>,
layer_height: <in mm>,
object_height: <in mm>,
estimated_time: <time in seconds>,
filament_total: <in mm>,
thumbnails: [
{
width: <in pixels>,
height: <in pixels>,
size: <length of string>,
data: <base64 string>
}, ...
]
}
Appendix
Websocket setup
All transmissions over the websocket are done via json using the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol. While the websever expects a json encoded string, one limitation of Eventlet's websocket is that it can not send string encoded frames. Thus the client will receive data om the server in the form of a binary Blob that must be read using a FileReader object then decoded.
The websocket is located at ws://host:port/websocket
, for example:
var s = new WebSocket("ws://" + location.host + "/websocket");
It also should be noted that if authorization is enabled, an untrusted client must request a "oneshot token" and add that token's value to the websocket's query string:
ws://host:port/websocket?token=<32 character base32 string>
This is necessary as it isn't currently possible to add X-Api-Key
to a
Websocket object's request header.
The following startup sequence is recommened for clients which make use of the websocket:
- Attempt to connect to
/websocket
until successful using a timer-like mechanism - Once connected, query
/printer/info
(orprinter.info
) for the ready status.- If the response returns an error (such as 404), set a timeout for 2 seconds and try again.
- If the response returns success, check the result's
state
attribute- If
state == "ready"
you may proceed to request status of printer objects make subscriptions, get the file list, etc. - If
state == "error"
then Klippy has experienced an error- If an error is detected it might be wise to prompt the user. You can
get a description of the error from the
state_message
attribute
- If an error is detected it might be wise to prompt the user. You can
get a description of the error from the
- If
state == "shutdown"
then Klippy is in a shutdown state. - If
state == "startup"
then re-request printer info in 2s.
- If
- Repeat step 2 until Klipper reports ready.
- Client's should watch for the
notify_klippy_disconnected
event. If it reports disconnected then Klippy has either been stopped or restarted. In this instance the client should repeat the steps above to determine when klippy is ready.
Basic Print Status
An advanced client will likely use subscriptions and notifications to interact with Moonraker, however simple clients such as home automation software and embedded devices (ie: ESP32) may only wish to monitor the status of a print. Below is a high level walkthrough for receiving print state via polling.
- Set up a timer to poll at the desired interval. Depending on your use case, 1 to 2 seconds is recommended.
- On each cycle, issue the following request:
GET http://host/printer/objects/query?webhooks&virtual_sdcard&print_stats
Or via json-rpc:
{'jsonrpc': "2.0", 'method': "printer.objects.query", 'params': {'objects': {'webhooks': null, 'virtual_sdcard': null, 'print_stats': null}}, id: <request id>}
- If the request returns an error or the returned
result.status
is an empty object printer objects are not available for query. Each queried object should be available inresult.status
. The client should check to make sure that all objects are received before proceeding. - Inspect
webhooks.ready
. If the value is not "ready" the printer is not available.webhooks.message
contains a message pertaining to the current state. - If the printer is ready, inspect
print_stats.state
. It may be one of the following values:- "standby": No print in progress
- "printing": The printer is currently printing
- "paused": A print in progress has been paused
- "error": The print exited with an error.
print_stats.message
contains a related error message - "complete": The last print has completed
- If
print_stats.state
is not "standby" thenprint_stats.filename
will report the name of the currently loaded file. print_stats.filename
can be used to fetch file metadata. It is only necessary to fetch metadata once per print.
GET http://host/server/files/metadata?filename=<filename>
Or via json-rpc:
{jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "server.files.metadata", params: {filename: "filename"} , id: <request id>}
If metadata extraction failed then this request will return an error. Some metadata fields are only populated for specific slicers, and unsupported slicers will only return the size and modifed date.- There are multiple ways to calculate the ETA, this example will use
file progress, as it is possible calculate the ETA with or without
metadata.
- If
metadata.estimated_time
is available, the eta calculation can be done as:
Alternatively, one can simply subtract the print duration from the estimated time:// assume "result" is the response from the status query let vsd = result.status.virtual_sdcard; let prog_time = vsd.progress * metadata.estimated_time; let eta = metadata.estimated_time - prog_time
// assume "result" is the response from the status query let pstats = result.status.print_status; let eta = metadata.estimated_time - pstats.print_duration; if (eta < 0) eta = 0;
- If no metadata is available, print duration and progress can be used to
calculate the ETA:
// assume "result" is the response from the status query let vsd = result.status.virtual_sdcard; let pstats = result.status.print_stats; let total_time = pstats.print_duration / vsd.progress; let eta = total_time - pstats.print_duration;

- It is possible to query additional object if a client wishes to display more information (ie: temperatures). See printer_objects.md for more information.
Bed Mesh Coordinates
The bed_mesh printer object may be used to generate three dimensional coordinates of a probed area (or mesh). Below is an example (in javascript) of how to transform the data received from a bed_mesh object query into an array of 3D coordinates.
// assume that we have executed an object query for bed_mesh and have the
// result. This example generates 3D coordinates for the probed matrix,
// however it would work with the mesh matrix as well
function process_mesh(result) {
let bed_mesh = result.status.bed_mesh
let matrix = bed_mesh.probed_matrix;
if (!(matrix instanceof Array) || matrix.length < 3 ||
!(matrix[0] instanceof Array) || matrix[0].length < 3)
// make sure that the matrix is valid
return;
let coordinates = [];
let x_distance = (bed_mesh.mesh_max[0] - bed_mesh.mesh_min[0]) /
(matrix[0].length - 1);
let y_distance = (bed_mesh.mesh_max[1] - bed_mesh.mesh_min[1]) /
(matrix.length - 1);
let x_idx = 0;
let y_idx = 0;
for (const x_axis of matrix) {
x_idx = 0;
let y_coord = bed_mesh.mesh_min[1] + (y_idx * y_distance);
for (const z_coord of x_axis) {
let x_coord = bed_mesh.mesh_min[0] + (x_idx * x_distance);
x_idx++;
coordinates.push([x_coord, y_coord, z_coord]);
}
y_idx++;
}
}
// Use the array of coordinates visualize the probed area
// or mesh..
