Overview
Complete API documentation and reference.
What is OpenSubsonic API?
The OpenSubsonic API allows anyone to build their own programs using a compatible server, whether they’re on the web, the desktop, or on mobile devices. All the OpenSubsonic-compatible apps (clients and servers) are built using the OpenSubsonic API.
The OpenSubsonic API allows you to call methods that respond in REST style XML or JSON. Since most clients now only rely on JSON, this documentation only shows the JSON answers in the documentation.
This project is built upon the original Subsonic API.
See:
- OpenSubsonic API for the API documentation.
- Goals for some of the goals of this project.
- Issues for some of the issues this project tries to solve over the original API.
Participants
OpenSubsonic is built with servers and clients trying to improve the global media center ecosystem by providing a common expandable API that can fit most of the needs of modern music apps.
Any server or client can join the organization and make proposals OpenSubsonic. The only condition is that if (as a client) you request an API extension that is accepted, you engage yourself in implementing it in your client in a timely manner.
Servers
Clients
Goals
The OpenSubsonic API has several goals, which include:
- Being an open, collaboratively maintained specification.
- Ensuring security across all extensions.
- Maintaining complete backwards compatibility with the existing Subsonic API.
- Offering piecewise optional implementation for servers and clients.
Addressing Issues with the Subsonic API
Some of the issues the OpenSubsonic API aims to address include:
- Outdated and insecure authentication methods.
- Suboptimal versioning schema.
- Insufficient methods for expressing server functionality.
- Lack of an open and collaborative way to evolve the API.
By extending the existing Subsonic API, the OpenSubsonic API hopes to create a more secure, flexible, and collaborative environment for the Subsonic ecosystem.

1 - OpenSubsonic API
API details and methods.
See API Reference for the basic API documentation. (Mandatory parameters, authentication, error handling, …)
Be sure to read OpenSubsonic changes to easily identify the changes brought by OpenSubsonic.
Starting with version 1.8.0, the API provides methods for accessing the media collection organized according to ID3 tags, rather than file structure.
For instance, browsing through the collection using ID3 tags should use the getArtists, getArtist and getAlbum methods. To browse using file structure you would use getIndexes and getMusicDirectory.
Correspondingly, there are two sets of methods for searching, starring and album lists. Refer to the method documentation for details.
API methods
2 - API Reference
Common API documentation.
Parameters
Please note that all methods take the following parameters:
| Parameter |
Req. |
OpenS. |
Default |
Comment |
u |
Yes |
|
|
The username. |
p |
Yes* |
|
|
The password, either in clear text or hex-encoded with a “enc:” prefix. Since 1.13.0 this should only be used for testing purposes. |
t |
Yes* |
|
|
(Since 1.13.0) The authentication token computed as md5(password + salt). See below for details. |
s |
Yes* |
|
|
(Since 1.13.0) A random string (“salt”) used as input for computing the password hash. See below for details. |
v |
Yes |
|
|
The protocol version implemented by the client, i.e., the version of the subsonic-rest-api.xsd schema used (see below). |
c |
Yes |
|
|
A unique string identifying the client application. |
f |
No |
|
xml |
Request data to be returned in this format. Supported values are “xml”, “json” (since 1.4.0) and “jsonp” (since 1.6.0). If using jsonp, specify name of javascript callback function using a callback parameter. |
*) Either p or both t and s must be specified.
Remember to URL encode the request parameters. All methods (except those that return binary data) returns XML documents conforming to the subsonic-rest-api.xsd schema. The XML documents are encoded with UTF-8.
Authentication
If you are targeting API version 1.12.0 or earlier, authentication is performed by sending the password as clear text or hex-encoded. Examples:
http://your-server/rest/ping.view?u=joe&p=sesame&v=1.12.0&c=AwesomeClientName&f=json
http://your-server/rest/ping.view?u=joe&p=enc:736573616d65&v=1.12.0&c=AwesomeClientName&f=json
Starting with API version 1.13.0, the recommended authentication scheme is to send an authentication token, calculated as a one-way salted hash of the password.
This involves two steps:
- For each REST call, generate a random string called the salt. Send this as parameter
s.
Use a salt length of at least six characters.
- Calculate the authentication token as follows: token = md5(password + salt). The md5() function takes a string and returns the 32-byte ASCII hexadecimal representation of the MD5 hash, using lower case characters for the hex values. The ‘+’ operator represents concatenation of the two strings. Treat the strings as UTF-8 encoded when calculating the hash. Send the result as parameter
t.
For example: if the password is sesame and the random salt is c19b2d, then token = md5(“sesamec19b2d”) = 26719a1196d2a940705a59634eb18eab. The corresponding request URL then becomes:
http://your-server/rest/ping.view?u=joe&t=26719a1196d2a940705a59634eb18eab&s=c19b2d&v=1.13.0&c=AwesomeClientName&f=json
Subsonic-response
All API endpoint unless noted otherwise returns a subsonic-response that indicate the result of the command and give some information about the server.
{
"subsonic-response": {
"status": "ok",
"version": "1.16.1",
"type": "AwesomeServerName",
"serverVersion": "0.1.3 (tag)",
"openSubsonic": true
}
}
{
"subsonic-response": {
"status": "ok",
"version": "1.16.1"
}
}
See: subsonic-response for the field details.
Error handling
If a method fails it will return an error code and message in an error element. In addition, the status attribute of the subsonic-response root element will be set to failed instead of ok. For example:
{
"subsonic-response": {
"status": "failed",
"version": "1.16.1",
"type": "AwesomeServerName",
"serverVersion": "0.1.3 (tag)",
"openSubsonic": true,
"error": {
"code": 40,
"message": "Wrong username or password"
}
}
}
{
"subsonic-response": {

OpenSubsonic expand the original API via 3 different ways:
- Clarifications: Documentation improvement to ensure consistency in server answers or actions where doubt was possible.
- Extensions: Non breaking changes to the API to improve clients life. Like new returned field, or new parameters to existing functions.
- Additions: New endpoints added to provide functions that could not be provided via non breaking extensions.
Required changes
OpenSubsonic is built to be mostly optional to ease the burden on the servers who can’t support some features, while still allowing clients to precisely know what the servers support without having to guess.
To achieve this servers supporting OpenSubsonic have to support a very minimal subset of things.
- Expand the
subsonic-response with the new mandatory fields.
- Implement the
getOpenSubsonicExtensions endpoint.
- Return error 41 (
API Reference) if they do not support Subsonic 1.13.0 new authentification system while advertising a version > 1.13.0

7 - OpenSubsonic API versions
OpenSubsonic API versions.
Versions
This table shows the supported extensions by OpenSubsonic versions:
Note: Since extensions are optional, more extensions can be added over time to the same OpenSubsonic API version.
See: OpenSubsonic changes for the global list of OpenSubsonic changes.
8 - Subsonic API versions
Subsonic API versions.
Versions
This table shows the REST API version implemented in different Subsonic versions:
Note that a Subsonic-compatible server is backward compatible with a REST client if and only if the major version is the same, and the minor version of the client is less than or equal to the server’s. For example, if the server has REST API version 2.2, it supports client versions 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, but not versions 1.x, 2.3+ or 3.x. The third part of the version number is not used to determine compatibility.
OpenSubsonic
OpenSubsonic servers should support at least 1.14.0. It is not required to support version 1.16.1, but this is still highly recommended.
