Exceptions are the names of the Java Exceptions returned in the body field. They typically contain an additional message with details. All Exceptions begin with "org.asamk.Signal.Error." which is omitted here for better readability.

== Methods
=== Control methods
These methods are available if the daemon is started anonymously (without an explicit `-a ACCOUNT`).
Requests are sent to `/org/asamk/Signal`; requests related to individual accounts are sent to
`/org/asamk/Signal/_441234567890` where the + dialing code is replaced by an underscore (_).
Only `version()` is activated in single-account mode; the rest are disabled.
=== SignalControl interface
These methods are available if the daemon is started in multi-account mode (without an explicit `-a ACCOUNT`).
The exported `/org/asamk/Signal` object provides a SignalControl interface, with methods to manage accounts.
Individual accounts are exported as separate objects and provide a Signal interface, that's described below.
e.g. `/org/asamk/Signal/\_441234567890` where the + dialing code is replaced by an underscore (_).
link() -> deviceLinkUri<s>::
link(newDeviceName<s>) -> deviceLinkUri<s>::
* newDeviceName : Name to give new device (defaults to "cli" if no name is given)
* deviceLinkUri : URI of newly linked device
Returns a URI of the form "sgnl://linkdevice?uuid=...". This can be piped to a QR encoder to create a display that
can be captured by a Signal smartphone client. For example:
Returns a URI of the form "sgnl://linkdevice?uuid=...".

= signal-cli-jsonrpc (5)
== Name
JSON-RPC API for signal-cli - A commandline and dbus interface for the Signal messenger
== Synopsis
*signal-cli* [--verbose] [--config CONFIG] [-a ACCOUNT] daemon [--socket] [--tcp]
*signal-cli* [--verbose] [--config CONFIG] [-a ACCOUNT] jsonRpc
== Description
See signal-cli (1) for details on the application.
signal-cli provides a JSON-RPC based API with the `jsonRpc` and `daemon` commands.
- `jsonRpc` command accepts input on STDIN and responds on STDOUT.
This is intended to make it easier to embed signal-cli in other applications.
`signal-cli -a _ACCOUNT_ jsonRpc`
- `daemon` command provides a UNIX or TCP socket and can handle requests from multiple clients.
`signal-cli -a _ACCOUNT_ daemon --socket` or for multi-account mode `signal-cli daemon --socket`
== Basic usage
In JSON-RPC mode, signal-cli will read requests from stdin.
Every requests must be a JSON object in a single line.
Requests must have a unique "id" value to be able to match the response to the corresponding request.
Example:
REQUEST: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"listGroups","id":"my special mark"}`
RESPONSE: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[{"id":"Pmpi+EfPWmsxiomLe9Nx2XF9HOE483p6iKiFj65iMwI=","name":"My Group","description":"It's special because it is mine.","isMember":true,"isBlocked":false,"members":["+33123456789","+440123456789"],"pendingMembers":[],"requestingMembers":[],"admins":["+33123456789","+440123456789"],"groupInviteLink":"https://signal.group/#CjQKIAtcbUw482i7bqvmJCwdgvg0FMif52N5v9lGg_bE4U3zEhCjHKSaPzWImMpnCbU8A1r0"}],"id":"my special mark"}`
From the command line:
`echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"listGroups","id":"my special mark"}' | signal-cli -u +33123456789 jsonRpc`
Like in dbus daemon mode, messages are automatically received in jsonRpc mode.
Incoming messages are sent as JSON-RPC notifications.
Example:
`{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"receive","params":{"envelope":{"source":"+33123456789","sourceNumber":"+33123456789","sourceUuid":"uuid","sourceName":"name","sourceDevice":1,"timestamp":1631458508784,"dataMessage":{"timestamp":1631458508784,"message":"foobar","expiresInSeconds":0,"viewOnce":false,"mentions":[],"attachments":[],"contacts":[]}}}}`
=== Multi-account daemon mode
When the daemon command is started without an account parameter (-a), signal-cli will provide all local accounts and additional commands to register and link new accounts.
In multi-account mode, requests for a single account require an additional `account` param.
REQUEST: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"listGroups","id":"my special mark","params":{"account":"+33123456789"}}`
== Commands
The commands available for the JSON-RPC mode are the same as the cli commands (except `register`, `verify` and `link`).
The `method` field is the command name and the parameters can be sent as the `params` object.
- Parameter names are provided in camelCase format instead of the hyphen format on the cli.
e.g.: `--group-id=ID` on the cli becomes `"groupId":"ID"`
- Parameters that can take multiple values on the command line can be provided as single json value or as json array
e.g. `--attachment ATTACH1 ATTACH2` becomes `"attachments":["ATTACH1", "ATTACH2"]`
`--attachment ATTACH` becomes `"attachment":"ATTACH"`
== Examples
REQUEST: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"listGroups","id":"5"}` RESPONSE: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[...],"id":"5"}`
REQUEST: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"send","params":{"recipient":["+YYY"],"message":"MESSAGE"},"id":4}` RESPONSE: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"timestamp":999},"id":4}`
REQUEST: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"updateGroup","params":{"groupId":"GROUP_ID=","name":"new group name","members":["+ZZZ"],"link":"enabledWithApproval","setPermissionEditDetails":"only-admins"},"id":"someId"}` RESPONSE: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"timestamp":9999},"id":"someId"}`
REQUEST: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"sendSyncRequest","id":9}` RESPONSE: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{},"id":9}`
REQUEST: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0"}` RESPONSE: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32600,"message":"method field must be set","data":null},"id":null}`
