Settings¶

Retrieve current settings¶

GET /api/settings¶

Retrieves the current configuration of OctoPrint.

Returns a 200 OK with the current settings as a JSON object in the response body.

The data model is similar to what can be found in config.yaml, see below for details.

Requires the SETTINGS_READ permission.

Save settings¶

POST /api/settings¶

Saves the provided settings in OctoPrint.

Expects a JSON object with the settings to change as request body. This can be either a full settings tree, or only a partial tree containing only those fields that should be updated.

Returns the currently active settings on success, as part of a 200 OK response.

Requires the SETTINGS permission.

Example

Only change the UI color to black.

POST /api/settings HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
X-Api-Key: abcdef...
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "appearance": {
    "color": "black"
  }
}

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "api": {
    "enabled": true
  },
  "appearance": {
    "color": "black"
  }
}

Regenerate the system wide API key¶

POST /api/settings/apikey¶

Generates a new system wide API key.

Does not expect a body. Will return the generated API key as apikey property in the JSON object contained in the response body.

Requires admin rights.

Status Codes:¶

• 200 OK – No error

• 403 Forbidden – No admin rights

Fetch template data¶

GET /api/settings/templates¶

Fetch data (currently only the sorting order) of all registered template components in the system.

Use this to get a full list of the identifiers of all UI components provided either by core OctoPrint or any currently active plugins.

Example:

GET /api/settings/templates HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
X-Api-Key: abcdef...

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
