signal-cli-dbus - A commandline and dbus interface for the Signal messenger
signal-cli [--verbose] [--config CONFIG] [-a ACCOUNT] [-o {plain-text,json}] daemon [--dbus] [--dbus-system]
dbus-send [--system | --session] [--print-reply] --type=method_call --dest="org.asamk.Signal" /org/asamk/Signal[/_<phonenumber>] org.asamk.Signal.<method> [string:<string argument>] [array:<type>:<array argument>]
Note: when daemon was started without explicit -a ACCOUNT
, the dbus-send
command requires adding the phone number in /org/asamk/Signal/_<phonenumber>
.
See signal-cli (1) for details on the application.
This documentation handles the supported methods when running signal-cli as a DBus daemon.
The method are described as follows:
method(arg1<type>, arg2<type>, …) → return<type>
Where <type> is according to DBus specification:
-
<a> : Array of … (comma-separated list) (array:)
-
(…) : Struct (cannot be sent via
dbus-send
) -
<b> : Boolean (false|true) (boolean:)
-
<i> : Signed 32-bit (int) integer (int32:)
-
<o> : DBusPath object (objpath:)
-
<s> : String (string:)
-
<x> : Signed 64-bit (long) integer (int64:)
-
<y> : Unsigned 8-bit (byte) integer (byte:)
-
<> : no return value
The final parenthetical value (such as "boolean:") is the type indicator used by dbus-send
.
Exceptions are the names of the Java Exceptions returned in the body field. They typically contain an additional message with details. All Exceptions begin with "org.asamk.Signal.Error." which is omitted here for better readability.
Phone numbers always have the format +<countrycode><regional number>
These methods are available if the daemon is started in multi-account mode (without an explicit -a ACCOUNT
).
The exported /org/asamk/Signal
object provides a SignalControl interface, with methods to manage accounts.
Individual accounts are exported as separate objects and provide a Signal interface, that’s described below.
e.g. /org/asamk/Signal/_441234567890
where the + dialing code is replaced by an underscore (_).
- link() → deviceLinkUri<s>
- link(newDeviceName<s>) → deviceLinkUri<s>
-
-
newDeviceName : Name to give new device (defaults to "cli" if no name is given)
-
deviceLinkUri : URI of newly linked device
-
Returns a URI of the form "sgnl://linkdevice?uuid=…". This can be piped to a QR encoder to create a display that can be captured by a Signal smartphone client.
For example:
dbus-send --session --dest=org.asamk.Signal --type=method_call --print-reply /org/asamk/Signal org.asamk.Signal.link string:"My secondary client" | tr '\n' '\0' | sed 's/.*string //g' | sed 's/\"//g' | qrencode -s10 -tANSI256
