HTTP API iOS 4.4.0+ Mac 4.0.0+
You may use HTTP API to control Surge.
Configuration
[General]
http-api = examplekey@0.0.0.0:6171
http-api-tls = false
Authentication
The API key must be filled in the 'X-Key' header for all requests.
GET /v1/events
X-Key: examplekey
Accept: */*
In some specific situations, if it is not convenient to set the header, you can also pass it through the URL query. For example, directly downloading the CA certificate through a browser.
http://127.0.0.1:6171/v1/mitm/ca?x-key=examplekey
HTTPS(TLS)
Setting http-api-tls = true
can enable HTTPS support for the HTTP API service. Surge will use the CA certificate of MITM to generate the server certificate for the corresponding access address.
Basic Constraints
Only HTTP without TLS is supported currently. Surge only uses GET and POST methods.
- For GET method, you should use URL queries to send parameters.
- For POST method, you should use JSON body to send parameters.
Surge will always return a JSON body as a response.
