.. _sec-api-settings-retrieve:

Retrieve current settings
=========================

.. http:get:: /api/settings

   Retrieves the current configuration of OctoPrint.

   Returns a :http:statuscode:`200` with the current settings as a JSON object in the
   response body.

   The :ref:`data model <sec-api-settings-datamodel>` is similar to what can be found in
   :ref:`config.yaml <sec-configuration-config_yaml>`, see below for details.

.. _sec-api-settings-save:

Save settings
=============

.. http:post:: /api/settings

   Saves the provided settings in OctoPrint.

   Expects a JSON object with the settings to change as request body. This can be either a
   full settings tree, or only a partial tree containing only those fields that should
   be updated.

   Returns the currently active settings on success, as part of a :http:statuscode:`200` response.

   Requires admin rights.

   **Example**

   Only change the UI color to black.

   .. sourcecode:: http

      POST /api/settings HTTP/1.1
      Host: example.com
      X-Api-Key: abcdef...
      Content-Type: application/json

      {
        "appearance": {
          "color": "black"
        }
      }

   .. sourcecode:: http

      HTTP/1.1 200 OK
      Content-Type: application/json

      {
        "api": {
          "enabled": true,
          // ...
        },
        // ...
      }

Data model
==========

The data model on the settings API mostly reflects the contents of
:ref:`config.yaml <sec-configuration-config_yaml>`. The settings tree
returned by the API contains the following fields, which are directly
mapped from the same fields in ``config.yaml`` unless otherwise noted:
