Where is the full JSONRPC spec or ServiceDescription.json?

[sandreas]

Hey,

I'm trying to find the http://www.xbmc.org/jsonrpc/ServiceDescription.json to automatically generate client code for my Kodi API client.

Loading my local Kodi instance JSONRPC specs file (http://my-kodi-host:8080/jsonrpc) shows the follwing response (abridged):

{
	"description": "JSON-RPC API of XBMC",
	"id": "http://xbmc.org/jsonrpc/ServiceDescription.json",
	"methods": {
		"..." : "..."
	},
	"...": "...",
	"version": "12.4.0"
}

The linked id (http://xbmc.org/jsonrpc/ServiceDescription.json) is not available online (I know, it is just an ID, but I would have expected, that it's still downloadable) and unfortunately the local JSONRPC specs file is incomplete. For example there is no mention of "Input.Back" (see https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v12#Input.Back).

I hope someone can help me out with that...

My Questions:

• Is there a full specification available online?
• If not, is it possible to get full specs from a local Kodi instance? (including "Input.Back")
• If it is possible, how would I do that?

Thank you

sandreas

This is the repo for the web site and probably not quite where you wanted to ask this, but I see why you might have decided this was the right place. Generally questions like this are best done on our forums (https://forum.kodi.tv). Our Github stuff is mostly for reporting bugs and problems. Anyway, all the JSON specs are on the wiki at:

https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API

I'm going to go ahead and close this.

Thank you for the quick response and the clarification.

Ok, thank you for pointing me into the right direction.

https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API

While the wiki might be the right place for developers to see examples and human readable specs, unfortunately the wiki does not contain or link (at least I did not find it) a machine readable spec (e.g. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-wright-json-schema), that can be used to autogenerate code from it.

I'm going to ask in the forum, but I would really appreciate ANY piece of information from ANYONE (Link, github repo, file, code snippet), that leads me to the official "one-and-only" FULL JSONRPC spec containing all types and methods. I've already spent hours searching for it without success...

Edit
Found at least parts of the source code searching the forum:

• Forum topics JSONRPC: https://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=174
• JSONRPC scheme spec files(methods.json, notifications.json, types.json): https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/master/xbmc/interfaces/json-rpc/schema
  • Note: For stable releases you might want to switch the branch and not use master/ main
