I do not see anything for pausing a folder?
What I am looking to do is add options Windows’s context menu to pause/unpause a folder? So, my thought:
User right clicks on a folder and selects SyncThings > Pause
Either an API is called directly or a script is called that calls the API
Would need to either:
Pause sharing based on a folder path
Lookup folder ID based on folder path and then pause based on folder ID
Is any of this possible? TIA!

The endpoint would be /rest/config/folders, and there could probably be an example for how to pause a folder there: Config Endpoints — Syncthing v1 documentation
You need to send a PATCH
to /rest/config/folders/*id*
, where you replace *id*
with the id of your folder and as data payload you send {"paused": true}
.

Thanks, but it does not work for me:
curl -H "X-API-Key: myAPIkeyFromWebGUI" http://127.0.0.1:8384/rest/system/error
is OK
but
curl -H "X-API-Key: myAPIkeyFromWebGUI" http://127.0.0.1:8384/rest/config
returns 404 page not found
API listed in Config Endpoints — Syncthing v1 documentation for version 1.12.0. Mine is 1.13.5.
Where could I find rest API list for my version?

There’s no v1.13.5 - however I guess whatever it is, it’s >v1.12.0 which is the relevant bit. There’s unfortunately no history on docs.syncthing.net , however it also doesn’t change that much. Before v1.12.0 there just was a single /rest/system/config
endpoint.
Yes, I didn’t find any v1.13.5 on github… but here is version result:
$ curl -H "X-API-Key: myAPIkeyFromWebGUI" http://127.0.0.1:8384/rest/system/version
{
"arch": "amd64",
"codename": "Erbium Earthworm",
"isBeta": true,
"isCandidate": false,
"isRelease": false,
"longVersion": "syncthing unknown-dev \"Erbium Earthworm\" (go1.13.5 linux-amd64) unknown@unknown 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC",
"os": "linux",
"version": "unknown-dev"
}
$
But expected API is /rest/config/folders/*id*
, and I cannot find it:
$ curl -H "X-API-Key: myAPIkeyFromWebGUI" http://127.0.0.1:8384/rest/config/folders/myFolderId
404 page not found
$

That’s go1.13.5, the Syncthing “version” is “unknown-dev”. You are running something custom and something old.

Well, that’s default version packaged in Ubuntu Studio 20.04.2 LTS… and seems not being an official release!
$ dpkg -l | grep syncthing
ii syncthing 1.1.4~ds1-4ubuntu1 amd64 decentralized file synchronization
$ ll /usr/bin/syncthing
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17141944 déc. 11 2019 /usr/bin/syncthing*
$
Updating syncthing seems to solve the problem.
Thanks!
