## 🌐 REST API (Docker)
Run MusicFetch as an authenticated HTTP service inside your Lidarr Docker stack.
A client POSTs a query; the server grabs the top hit non-interactively and runs
the download as a background job you can poll. Every response includes a
human-readable `message` (handy for Siri).
### Configure & run
Set the network name in `server/docker-compose.yml` to your existing Lidarr
stack network, then:
```bash
export LIDARR_API_KEY="your-lidarr-key"
export MUSICFETCH_API_KEY="a-long-random-secret"
docker compose -f server/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
```
| Env var | Default | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `MUSICFETCH_API_KEY` | *(required)* | Shared secret clients send as `X-API-Key`. |
| `MUSICFETCH_PORT` | `6769` | Listen port. |
| `LIDARR_URL` | `http://lidarr:8686` | Lidarr base URL (stack network). |
| `LIDARR_API_KEY` | *(required for Lidarr)* | Lidarr API key. |
| `MUSICFETCH_ROOT` | `/media/music` | Music output root (bind-mounted). |
TLS is expected to be handled by your upstream reverse proxy; the container
serves plain HTTP on `6769`.
### Endpoints
| Method | Path | Auth | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `GET` | `/health` | no | Liveness check. |
| `POST` | `/fetch?q=...` | yes | Grab top hit; returns a `job_id`. |
| `GET` | `/jobs/{id}` | yes | Poll job status. |
`POST /fetch` params: `q` (required), `quality` (`best,320,m4a,opus,flac`),
`source` (`auto,lidarr,youtube`).
### curl examples
```bash
# Kick off a fetch
curl -X POST 'https://mf.izebra.net/fetch?q=Under%20My%20Skin' \
-H 'X-API-Key: a-long-random-secret'
# -> {"message":"Found 'Under My Skin' ... Downloading now.","job_id":"a1b2c3","status":"queued","hit":{...}}
# Poll the job
curl 'https://mf.izebra.net/jobs/a1b2c3' -H 'X-API-Key: a-long-random-secret'
# -> {"message":"Finished downloading ...","status":"done","result":{...}}
```
### 🗣️ Siri Shortcuts integration
Make a shortcut that fetches music by voice ("Hey Siri, fetch music").
1. **Shortcuts app → New Shortcut.**
2. Add **Ask for Input** → Input Type **Text**, prompt "What should I fetch?".
(Or use **Dictate Text** for fully spoken input.)
3. Add **Text** action, set it to: `https://mf.izebra.net/fetch?q=` then insert
the **Provided Input** variable at the end. (Shortcuts URL-encodes query
variables automatically.)
4. Add **Get Contents of URL**:
- **URL:** the Text variable from step 3.
- **Method:** `POST`.
- **Headers:** add one — key `X-API-Key`, value your `MUSICFETCH_API_KEY`.
- **Request Body:** leave as is (the query is in the URL).
5. Add **Get Dictionary Value** → Get Value for **message** in **Contents of URL**.
6. Add **Speak Text** → the Dictionary Value. Siri reads back
"Found '…' … Downloading now."
7. (Optional) To confirm completion: add **Get Dictionary Value** for `job_id`,
**Wait** ~20 seconds, **Get Contents of URL** on
`https://mf.izebra.net/jobs/<job_id>` (same `X-API-Key` header), then
**Get Dictionary Value** `message`**Speak Text** again.
Rename the shortcut (e.g. "Fetch Music") — that phrase becomes the Siri trigger.
