Make some advance API

[maher.aldous]

Can you please just add those features in the API:
1- Adding and Removing Domain from White- and Blacklist with an API request.
2- Display the current White- and Blacklist with API.

Thanks in advance and I hope if I could do it alon but I don’t have experience with RUST which used in Pi Hole API.

We're currently working on a HTTP based API for a future Pi-hole v6.0, see

Add HTTP server and JSON API

This API already includes the features you're requesting:

@maher.aldous

1- Adding and Removing Domain from White- and Blacklist with an API request.
2- Display the current White- and Blacklist with API.

1 is available with POST and DELETE to the API, 2 is implemented with GET requests to the same endpoints.

The paths will be

http://pi.hole/admin/api/dns/whitelist/exact
http://pi.hole/admin/api/dns/whitelist/regex
http://pi.hole/admin/api/dns/blacklist/exact
http://pi.hole/admin/api/dns/blacklist/regex

So there is a new API in version 6.0 and what I need are already exists in the old API? Am I right?

If the old API have what I need as you say can you improve me how to make a call with every method (POST, DELETE and GET).

My server is using IP domain which is this http://.../admin/ so I am not sure how to make the calls without knowing if I should write something in the header request or not.

No, the current API does not allow editing the lists in a consistent way.

[maher.aldous]

Yes I see because I didn't found that feature so I have to wait until the release of v6.0 and if so, when should it come out.

[DanSchaper]

When it's ready. Probably some time after 5.0 which should enter testing soon.

[maher.aldous]

Ok Thanks

This seems like a good place to suggest a simple feature.

When I whitelist a url, I'd like to be able to add a short note along with it.
same with blacklisting.

no need to reply.

This is already implemented forPi-hole v5.0, see

Add group management

This is how my dashboard looks like (I'm already on the v5.0 code):

Nice.
I admit I did not check the development branch. I was just irritated I had to whitelist an adserver because the local paper put the obituary pics on it. I wanted to remember why. Seeing your screenshot, it's exactly what I had in mind for all that space next to the domain name. Good work.

This is part of Pi-hole v5.0 (beta),

[stray77]

I just checked out the dev and web devel branches to satisfy my need. I don't mind waiting for the V5 release and I fully accept the risks.
This is what I ended up with and it allowed me to add a note to the whitelist entries.

Pi-hole Version vDev (development, v4.3.2-380-g782fec8) Web Interface Version vDev (devel, v4.3.2-359-g60b078b) FTL Version vDev (development, vDev-ecbeb95)

Thanks again, this software helps keep my family safe.
