AdGuard Home API Change Log
v0.108.0: API changes
v0.107.20: API Changes
POST /control/cache_clear
- The new
POST /control/cache_clear
HTTP API allows clearing the DNS cache.
v0.107.17: API Changes
GET /control/blocked_services/services
is deprecated
Use GET /control/blocked_services/all
.
GET /control/blocked_services/all
- The new
GET /control/blocked_services/all
HTTP API allows inspecting all available services and their data, such as SVG icons and human-readable names.
v0.107.15: POST
Requests Without Bodies
As an additional CSRF protection measure, AdGuard Home now ensures that requests
that change its state but have no body do not have a Content-Type
header set
on them.
This concerns the following APIs:
POST /control/dhcp/reset_leases
;POST /control/dhcp/reset
;POST /control/parental/disable
;POST /control/parental/enable
;POST /control/querylog_clear
;POST /control/safebrowsing/disable
;POST /control/safebrowsing/enable
;POST /control/safesearch/disable
;POST /control/safesearch/enable
;POST /control/stats_reset
;POST /control/update
.
v0.107.14: BREAKING API CHANGES
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been discovered. We have implemented several measures to prevent such vulnerabilities in the future, but some of these measures break backwards compatibility for the sake of better protection.
All JSON APIs that expect a body now check if the request actually has
Content-Type
set to application/json
.
All new formats for the request and response bodies are documented in
openapi.yaml
.
POST /control/filtering/set_rules
And Other Plain-Text APIs
The following APIs, which previously accepted or returned text/plain
data,
now accept or return data as JSON.
POST /control/filtering/set_rules
Previously, the API accepted a raw list of filters as a plain-text file. Now, the filters must be presented in a JSON object with the following format:
{
"rules":
[
"||example.com^",
"# comment",
"@@||www.example.com^"
]
}
GET /control/i18n/current_language
And POST /control/i18n/change_language
Previously, these APIs accepted and returned the language code in plain text. Now, they accept and return them in a JSON object with the following format:
{
"language": "en"
}
POST /control/dhcp/find_active_dhcp
Previously, the API accepted the name of the network interface as a plain-text string. Now, it must be contained within a JSON object with the following format:
{
"interface": "eth0"
}

Multiple matched rules in GET /filtering/check_host

-
The properties
rule
andfilter_id
are now deprecated. API users should inspect the newly-addedrules
object array instead. For most rules, it's either empty or contains one object, which contains the same things as the old two properties did, but under more correct names:{ // … // Deprecated. "rule": "||example.com^", // Deprecated. "filter_id": 42, // Newly-added. "rules": [{ "text": "||example.com^", "filter_list_id": 42 }] }
For
$dnsrewrite
rules, they contain all rules that contributed to the result. For example, if you have the following filtering rules:||example.com^$dnsrewrite=127.0.0.1 ||example.com^$dnsrewrite=127.0.0.2
The
"rules"
will be something like:{ // … "rules": [{ "text": "||example.com^$dnsrewrite=127.0.0.1", "filter_list_id": 0 }, { "text": "||example.com^$dnsrewrite=127.0.0.2", "filter_list_id": 0 }] }
The old fields will be removed in v0.106.0.

A note about web user authentication
If AdGuard Home's web user is password-protected, a web client must use authentication mechanism when sending requests to server. Basic access authentication is the most simple method - a client must pass Authorization
HTTP header along with all requests:
Authorization: Basic BASE64_DATA
where BASE64_DATA is base64-encoded data for username:password
string.
