Introduction

This is the API documentation for open source imageboard jschan.

In the data examples, arrays can contain more than one item however only one is included to reduce the size of this document.

In data parameters, note that data is always submitted as a strings, that is how urlencoded/multipart forms work. There is no concept of "types". "number" simply means a string only including numbers. For "boolean", any value with length > 0 = true, 0 length or missing = false.

Public Endpoints

Board list

curl "https://fatchan.org/boards.json"

ctx := context.Background()
client := jschan.NewClient("https://fatchan.org")
getBoardsPublicOptions := &jschan.GetBoardsPublicOptions{
  Search:    "tech",
}
boards, err := client.GetBoardsPublic(ctx, getBoardsPublicOptions)
if err != nil {
  fmt.Println(err)
  return
}
fmt.Printf("%+v", boards)

The above command returns JSON structured like this:

Users can set it manually, or if they have JavaScript enabled one is randomly generated and stored in localstorage. If the post password is left empty, the post can only be actioned by staff. Staff can also action any post without needing the post password. The ability for anonymous users to action their posts can be disabled on a per-board level.

spoiler_all boolean Whether to spoiler all files.
strip_filename array(string) Array of sha256 hash of files to have filenames stripped.. The sha256 hash will be used instead. Note: the server will still receive the original filenames before stripping.
customflag string or null Name of custom flag to be used. If null, will use no flag unless the board also has geoip flags enabled, then it will use the geo flag.
captcha array(number) or string See Captcha/block bypass
signature string Signature output of a web3 eth personal_sign request with the content of the message parameter. Will add a signature and the recovered address to the bottom of the post.

Post actions (delete, report, etc)

# UNDER CONSTRUCTION...

Submit actions against posts e.g. report, spoiler, delete. Supports multiple posts in a single submission. Actions against OP such as delete or move will take replies with it. This endpoint does not require a session cookie or CSRF token like the staff variants, but having valid credentials will allow staff to bypass certain restrictions such as being able to delete posts when the board settings have "user post deletion" disabled. Anonymous users can submit parameters checkedposts, delete, unlink_file, spoiler, postpassword, report, global_report, report_reason and captcha. Multiple actions can be combined e.g. delete+ban. While there are no errors for submitting incompatible actions e.g. delete+report (you cannot report and delete a post simultaneously), the server will handle them in a sensible order, with delete taking precedence.

Users can set it manually, or if they have JavaScript enabled one is randomly generated and stored in localstorage. If the post password is left empty, the post can only be actioned by staff.

HTTP Request

Global staff - post actions

# UNDER CONSTRUCTION...

Submit actions against posts e.g. report, spoiler, delete. Supports multiple posts in a single submission. Actions against OP such as delete or move will take replies with it. This endpoint requires a session cookie and CSRF token, allows global staff to use additional actions, and bypass restrictions. Multiple actions can be combined e.g. delete+ban. While there are no errors for submitting incompatible actions e.g. delete+report (you cannot report and delete a post simultaneously), the server will handle them in a sensible order, with delete taking precedence. Certain actions such as "move" are not present compared to the board-specific endpoints because global actions can apply to posts from multiple different boards. Global actions use posts _id (mongo id) in the globalcheckedposts array instead of postIds because global actions can apply to posts from multiple different boards and cannot just reference postIds.

no_appeal boolean Removes the ability to appeal a ban.
preserve_post boolean Whether to preserve the post and show it in the ban page. If the server prunes files, the files may no longer exist.
hide_name boolean Whether the username of the staff should be hidden from public modlogs.

Captcha/block bypass

To solve a captcha when posting, or to separately solve a block bypass, submit the captchaid cookie and data captcha. Depending on captcha type, there are different options. The example requests below are for blockbypass endpoint, however the same captchaid cookie and captcha data should be submitted to the reporting and posting endpoint when captcha is enabled. If a form submission requires a block bypass and the form also requires a captcha, solving the captcha correctly will count as a block bypass, so it is not necessary to solve an additional block bypass captcha beforehand.

# Get a captchaid cookie
curl -v 'https://fatchan.org/captcha'

# returns 302 to the captcha image, and sets the cookie.
< HTTP/2 302

### HTTP Request

`GET https://fatchan.org/nonce/{address}.json`

### URL Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
address | string | Ethereum address e.g. 0x68b637f227953eeb081a3b591c218adbeaa4c489

### Captcha cookie

To solve a captcha, you need a `captchaid` cookie.

Visiting `/captcha` will set the captchaid cookie (if you do not already have one), and redirect you to the captcha image `/captcha/<captchaid>.jpg`.

The cookie is required to be submitted when solving the captcha as described in the next sections. Captcha id cookies are valid for ~5 minutes in a default jschan configuration.

### HTTP Request

`GET https://fatchan.org/captcha`

```shell
# Grid v1 captcha example
curl 'https://fatchan.org/forms/blockbypass' -X POST \

Grid v1 captcha

Grid v1 captcha consists of a nxn (by default 4x4) square grid of characters, and a question text. The characters are separated into "correct" and "incorrect" character groups, with a minimum of at least one correct character in the grid. Follow the question text and select only the "correct" characters. The character groups and question text can be completely customised, so it is not possible to document exact instructions for each. The captcha may have image effects applied such as noise, edge detection and distortion.

The default grid v1 configuration of jschan is:

The grid positions start from 0 and go from left to right, top to bottom i.e:

0123
4567
891011
12131415

Example (the example request is for this image):

Question: "Select the solid/filled icons"

0123
4567
891011
12131415

The solution is 1, 3, 11.

Other examples:

Question: "Select the odd numbers"

0123
4567
891011
12131415

The solution is 1, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14.

HTTP Request

POST https://fatchan.org/forms/blockbypass

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
captcha array(number) One or more numbers for the correct grid square indexes. 
# Grid v2 captcha example

Grid v2 captcha

Grid v2 captcha consists of a nxn (by default 4x4) square grid of characters and arrows, and a question text. The characters are separated into "correct" and "incorrect" character groups, with one correct character in the grid. The rest of the grid will be incorrect characters and arrows. The objective is to select all arrows pointing at the "correct" character. The character groups (excluding arrows) and question text can be completely customised, so it is not possible to document exact instructions for each. The captcha may have image effects applied such as noise, edge detection and distortion. Grid v2 configuration is shared with v1.

The grid positions start from 0 and go from left to right, top to bottom i.e:

0123
4567
891011
12131415

Example (the example request is for this image):

0123
4567
891011
12131415

The solution is 2, 6, 11, 14.

Miscellaneous

Time format string

Some moderation interfaces, for example the ban duration when moderating posts, or the ban duration for post filtering use a shorthand for times/length. This format supports years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. An input of "3mo" would mean 3 months and "1y2mo3w4d5h6m7s" would mean 1 year, 2 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 5 hours, 6 minutes and 7 seconds. Units of time should be in descending order, so "2w1mo" is invalid. However you may use "6w" for example to input 6 weeks, and are not required to use "1mo2w".
