# Axum REST API & WebSocket Protocol Reference

The `nx9-wg` API daemon serves JSON REST endpoints and a real-time WebSocket event bus under the base path `/api/v1`.

---

## 1. Authentication & Session Model

Authentication is supported via two secure mechanisms:

### A. HTTP Session Cookie (`nx9_session`)
Obtained via `POST /api/v1/auth/login`. Returned in the `Set-Cookie` response header with `HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict; Path=/` and automatically attached by web browsers for both REST API requests and WebSocket upgrade handshakes.

### B. Bearer API Token
Passed in the `Authorization` header:
```http
Authorization: Bearer nx9_<uuid>_<random>
```

---

## 2. Standard Error Response Model

All non-2xx responses return a structured JSON error body:

```json
{
  "error": "Descriptive error message",
  "status": 404
}
```

### Common HTTP Status Codes:
- `200 OK`: Request succeeded.
- `400 Bad Request`: Validation failure on input parameters.
- `401 Unauthorized`: Missing, invalid, or expired session/token.
- `404 Not Found`: Resource ID does not exist in SQLite.
- `409 Conflict`: Unique constraint violation (e.g. duplicate interface name or IP).
- `422 Unprocessable Entity`: Semantic constraint failure (e.g. invalid server host with embedded port, invalid port bounds).
- `429 Too Many Requests`: Brute-force rate limiting triggered (5 failed logins in 15 minutes).
- `500 Internal Server Error`: Native Linux execution plane or storage failure.

## 3. REST API Endpoint Inventory

### Authentication & Tokens
- `POST /api/v1/auth/login`: Authenticate with `{ "username": "admin", "password": "..." }`. Returns session cookie and user metadata.

- `POST /api/v1/auth/tokens`: Generate API token `{ "name": "ci-token", "expires_in_days": 30 }`. Returns `{ "raw_token": "...", "meta": {...} }`.
- `DELETE /api/v1/auth/tokens/{id}`: Revoke an API token.

### System & Health

### WireGuard Interfaces
- `GET /api/v1/interfaces`: List all WireGuard interfaces (includes `role`: `"overlay"` | `"upstream"` and `listen_port`: `u16 | null`).

### Peers & Client Configs
- `GET /api/v1/peers`: List all peers across all interfaces (enriched with live kernel telemetry).

- `POST /api/v1/interfaces/{id}/peers`: Enroll peer `{ "name": "alice", "profile": "full_tunnel", "mtu": 1280, ... }`.
- `GET /api/v1/peers/{id}`: Get peer details.
- `PUT /api/v1/peers/{id}`: Update peer parameters.
- `DELETE /api/v1/peers/{id}`: Delete peer.
- `POST /api/v1/peers/{id}/enable`: Enable peer.
- `POST /api/v1/peers/{id}/disable`: Disable peer.
- `GET /api/v1/peers/{id}/config`: Download WireGuard `.conf` file (supports `?device=...&connection=...&endpoint=...`). Uses persistent `wireguard.server_*` settings if `endpoint` query parameter is omitted.
- `GET /api/v1/peers/{id}/qr`: Generate QR code SVG/PNG (supports `?qr_format=svg&endpoint=...`). Returns `{ "svg": "<svg...", "data_url": "data:image/png;base64,..." }`.

## 4. Real-Time WebSocket Protocol (`/api/v1/ws`)

Connect to `ws://<host>/api/v1/ws` (or `wss://`) to receive real-time JSON events. Authentication is handled automatically using the browser's `nx9_session` cookie or `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header:

```json
{
  "type": "AuditEvent",
  "payload": {
    "event_type": "peer_created",
    "message": "Peer 'alice-phone' enrolled on interface wg0",
    "resource_type": "peer",
    "resource_id": "974755a9-74d9-4488-85c9-f057230ab8e2"
  }
}
```

### Event Types:
- `AuditEvent`: Security and state mutation events.
- `InterfaceChanged`: Interface status toggle or link state change.
- `PeerChanged`: Peer parameter update or state transition.
- `PeerHandshake`: Real-time cryptographic handshake update.
- `SettingsChanged`: Key-value configuration change.
