This repository contains protocol buffers for the new Braiins OS+ Public API, which is based on gRPC API technology.
Public API Version | BOS+ version |
---|---|
1.0.0-beta.4 (latest) | 23.10.1 |
1.0.0-beta.3 | 23.10 |
1.0.0-beta.2 | 23.08 |
1.0.0-beta.1 | 23.05 |
1.0.0-beta | 23.04 |
1.0.0-alpha.1 | 23.03.3 |
1.0.0-alpha | 23.03 |
The new Braiins OS+ Public API was released as an alpha version alongside Braiins OS+ version 23.03. This API aims to provide a unified standard for all current and future hardware variants, regardless of manufacturer. However, since it is an alpha version, there might still be some changes in the API in future releases.
The API does not cover the full scope of the Bosminer API and GraphQL API in the alpha version. But in the next releases, this gap will be closed.
gRPC is a high-performance remote procedure call (RPC) framework developed by Google. It allows developers to create efficient and reliable communications between client and server applications running on different platforms and written in different programming languages.

- Miner must have port 50051 enabled. As of BOS+ version 23.03.1, it should be enabled by default.
There is no specific prerequisite for using BOS+ Public API. It is possible to directly access it using standard GUI tools like Postman, Kreya or CLI tool like grpcurl. Please find an example how to access gRPC api using grpcurl below.

Best way to start using our public API is to list available services and describe them. This can be done 2 ways:
- using prepared proto files,
- using reflection.
Example of how to list available services in proto file and how to describe service.
$ grpcurl -import-path ./proto -proto bos/v1/actions.proto list
braiins.bos.v1.ActionsService
$ grpcurl -import-path ./proto -proto bos/v1/actions.proto describe
braiins.bos.v1.ActionsService is a service:
service ActionsService {
// Method to pause mining
rpc PauseMining ( .braiins.bos.v1.PauseMiningRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.PauseMiningResponse );
// Method to reboot whole miner
rpc Reboot ( .braiins.bos.v1.RebootRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.RebootResponse );
// Method to restart bosminer
rpc Restart ( .braiins.bos.v1.RestartRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.RestartResponse );
// Method to resume mining
rpc ResumeMining ( .braiins.bos.v1.ResumeMiningRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.ResumeMiningResponse );
// Method to start bosminer
rpc Start ( .braiins.bos.v1.StartRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.StartResponse );
// Method to stop bosminer
rpc Stop ( .braiins.bos.v1.StopRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.StopResponse );
}
BOS+ Public API has gRPC Server Reflection enabled. gRPC Server Reflection provides information about publicly-accessible gRPC services on a server, and assists clients at runtime to construct RPC requests and responses without precompiled service information. It is used by gRPC CLI, which can be used to introspect server protos.

Describe available service

braiins.bos.ApiVersionService is a service:
service ApiVersionService {
rpc GetApiVersion ( .braiins.bos.ApiVersionRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.ApiVersion );
}
braiins.bos.v1.ActionsService is a service:
service ActionsService {
// Method to pause mining
rpc PauseMining ( .braiins.bos.v1.PauseMiningRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.PauseMiningResponse );
// Method to reboot whole miner
rpc Reboot ( .braiins.bos.v1.RebootRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.RebootResponse );
// Method to restart bosminer
rpc Restart ( .braiins.bos.v1.RestartRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.RestartResponse );
// Method to resume mining
rpc ResumeMining ( .braiins.bos.v1.ResumeMiningRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.ResumeMiningResponse );
// Method to start bosminer
rpc Start ( .braiins.bos.v1.StartRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.StartResponse );
// Method to stop bosminer
rpc Stop ( .braiins.bos.v1.StopRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.StopResponse );
}
braiins.bos.v1.AuthenticationService is a service:
service AuthenticationService {
rpc Login ( .braiins.bos.v1.LoginRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.LoginResponse );
}
...
Almost all requests require authentication. Requests authorize themselves with a token present in the Authorization header.
Send a request with username and password to Login method in AuthenticationService. The token is present in the authorization header. To print response header use -vv
flag for verbose output.
$ grpcurl -plaintext -vv -d '{"username": "xxxx", "password": "yyyy"}' miner:50051 braiins.bos.v1.AuthenticationService/Login
Resolved method descriptor:
rpc Login ( .braiins.bos.v1.LoginRequest ) returns ( .braiins.bos.v1.LoginResponse );
Request metadata to send:
(empty)
Response headers received:
authorization: FvZarvVQLCtzNaM6
content-type: application/grpc
Estimated response size: 0 bytes
Response contents:

}
Response trailers received:
(empty)
Sent 1 request and received 1 response
To authenticate requests with a token just add authorization
header with token using -H
flag.

It is important to note what version of Public API must be used for communication with the miner. Current API version on the miner is available via GetApiVersion
method in braiins.bos.ApiVersionService
. This service does not require authentication.

"major": "1",
"pre": "alpha"
}
Note: Version 1.0.0-<ver>
is actually 1.0.0-<ver>.0
. 0
as default value was dropped during serialization.
