# JS8Call API Documentation v3.0.0
This document provides documention of the API to control JS8Call.
# Methods
The API is normally located on localhost port 2242, but can be changed at ``Settings -> Reporting Tab -> API``
If you have access to ``telnet`` you can connect to the API with
```
telnet 127.0.0.1 2242
```
If you do nothing, the API will print information as it has it available, or you can submit one of the ``End Points`` below.
# API Format
All API calls are via JSON. JS8Call spits out a JSON packet of the form (for a heartbeat in this case):
```
{"params":{"PTT":true,"UTC":1768760160665,"_ID":-1},"type":"RIG.PTT","value":"on"}
{"params":{"TONES":[4,2,5,6,1,3,0,7,1,5,7,6,0,2,2,3,7,4,2,7,6,4,5,1,7,1,7,3,6,6,4,1,0,4,1,7,4,2,5,6,1,3,0,0,2,4,2,1,1,4,1,6,3,4,4,4,6,2,0,7,0,5,6,2,3,1,0,3,7,4,6,4,4,2,5,6,1,3,0],"_ID":-1},"type":"TX.FRAME","value":""}
{"params":{"TONES":[4,2,5,6,1,3,0,7,1,5,7,6,0,2,2,3,7,4,2,7,6,4,5,1,7,1,7,3,6,6,4,1,0,4,1,7,4,2,5,6,1,3,0,0,2,4,2,1,1,4,1,6,3,4,4,4,6,2,0,7,0,5,6,2,3,1,0,3,7,4,6,4,4,2,5,6,1,3,0],"_ID":-1},"type":"TX.FRAME","value":""}
{"params":{"PTT":false,"UTC":1768760173403,"_ID":-1},"type":"RIG.PTT","value":"off"}
```
The steps above are
1) PTT on
2) Send HB MSG as TONES (2 transmission frames)
3) PTT off
``{"params":xxx}`` is **required** in both directions and forms the overall packet
> [!NOTE]
> In the table below, most of the API calls listed as version 2.3 also existed in earlier versions of JS8Call.

# RX.GET_FREE_OFFSETS
`API >= 3.0`
Returns contiguous free offset segments in the passband not occupied by recently
heard stations. Accounts for the bandwidth of each active signal's submode so the
returned segments are guaranteed wide enough for your intended transmission without
overlapping other stations.
Entries older than 30 seconds are considered stale and treated as clear.

`FREE` is a list of free segments, each with `LOW`, `HIGH`, and `WIDTH` in Hz.
`BANDWIDTH` is the signal bandwidth (Hz) for the requested `SPEED`.
Segments narrower than `BANDWIDTH` are omitted — they cannot fit the intended transmission.
