openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: qui RSS API
  description: 'qui API for managing multiple qBittorrent instances.

    If allowedHosts is configured, a missing, invalid, or unlisted received Host

    returns HTTP 400 before authentication or routing. X-Forwarded-Host is ignored.

    Request ports do not affect matching. Only direct loopback GET and HEAD

    requests to /health, /healthz/readiness, and /healthz/liveness bypass the list.


    For automation create and update requests, set `conditions.category.enabled` to `true`

    and `conditions.category.category` to an empty string to remove the torrent category.

    Set `conditions.category.enabled` to `false` to disable the category action.'
