This NIP describes the basic of communicating to relays over HTTP(S) requests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Communication between clients and relays
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Relays may expose NoH endpoints that client could reach. Client may make HTTP requests to each relays endpoint for specified tasks as specified in `noh` field at `/.well-known/nostr.json`. Relays MAY limit number of requests from specific IP/Client/etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### From client to relay: getting events and sending event
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In `noh` field at `/.well-known/nostr.json`, Client could make a request to `req` or `publish` endpoint.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When fetching events, Client can optionally specify filters directly into the URI search query:
|
||
|
|
- `<req>?<filter>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`<filter>` is a querystrings that determines what events will be received in that request. it can have the following attributes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
ids=<a list of event ids separated by commas>&
|
||
|
|
authors=<a list of lowercase pubkeys separated by commas>&
|
||
|
|
kinds=<a list of kinds numbers separated by commas>&
|
||
|
|
%23<single-letter (a-zA-Z)>=<a list of tag values separated by commas. for %23e — a list of event ids, for %23p — a list of event pubkeys>&
|
||
|
|
since=<an integer unix timestamp in seconds, events must be newer than this to pass>&
|
||
|
|
until=<an integer unix timestamp in seconds, events must be older than this to pass>&
|
||
|
|
limit=<maximum number of events relays SHOULD return in the initial query>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Request URL Examples:
|
||
|
|
- `https://my-relay.com/__nostr/req?kinds=0,1&limit=10`
|
||
|
|
- `https://my-relay.com/__nostr/req?authors=12345,67890`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To send event to relay, Client will need to make POST request to `publish` endpoint with POST body containing the JSON of the event.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### From relay to client: sending responses and notices
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every NoH response is a JSON body that contain the following JSON field:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `status`: Request status code in integer. `0` means OK, `1` means invalid request, `2` means relay error.
|
||
|
|
- `results`: Array of relay response. Usually contain events requested by client.
|
||
|
|
- `notice`: Human readable error.
