OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Pi-hole REST Auth Groups API
  description: 'REST API exposed by the pihole-FTL binary (v6+) for managing DNS

    blocklists, allowlists, groups, clients, configuration, and query logs

    on a Pi-hole instance. Most endpoints require an authenticated session

    (SID); obtain one via POST /api/auth and send it back on subsequent

    requests as the `X-FTL-SID` header, the `sid` query parameter, or in the

    request body. Each Pi-hole serves its own OpenAPI/Swagger documentation

    at /api/docs that exactly matches its installed version.


    Only a representative subset of the Pi-hole API surface (auth, groups,

    DNS blocking, info/version) is modeled here. See the documentation

    linked under externalDocs for the full catalog.
