Harvester RPC

This document provides a comprehensive reference to Chia's Harvester RPC API.

Note about Windows command escaping

This document will use Linux/MacOS RPC syntax. When running rpc commands on Windows, you'll need to escape all quotes with backslashes.

For example, here is a typical RPC command on Linux and MacOS:

chia rpc harvester add_plot_directory '{"dirname": "C:\\plots"}'

To run the same command on Windows, you need to escape the quotes with backslashes. In other words, add a \ before each double quote, such that:

"dirname" becomes \"dirname\" "C:\\plots" becomes \"C:\\plots\"

add_plot_directory

Functionality: Add a new plot directory

Usage: chia rpc harvester [OPTIONS] add_plot_directory [REQUEST]

Options:

Short Command	Long Command	Type	Required	Description
-j	--json-file	FILENAME	False	Optionally instead of REQUEST you can provide a json file containing the request data
-h	--help	None	False	Show a help message and exit

Request Parameters:

Flag	Type	Required	Description
dirname	TEXT	True	The full path of the directory to add

备注

Note that the new directory must already exist on the system

Example

First, add the directory to the local file system:

mkdir /plots_new

Next, add the new directory to the harvester's list:

chia rpc harvester add_plot_directory '{"dirname": "/plots_new"}'

Response:

{
  "success": true
}

delete_plot

Functionality: Delete a single plot

Usage: chia rpc harvester [OPTIONS] delete_plot [REQUEST]

Options:

Short Command	Long Command	Type	Required	Description
-j	--json-file	FILENAME	False	Optionally instead of REQUEST you can provide a json file containing the request data
-h	--help	None	False	Show a help message and exit

Request Parameters:

Flag	Type	Required	Description
filename	TEXT	True	The file name of the plot to delete

备注

As long as this command includes the required filename flag, it will always output "success": true, even if the filename was invalid

Example

chia rpc harvester delete_plot '{"filename": "/plots/plot-k25-2022-07-11-19-22-a2ece0fd13e017f7b88911be5f91aa1e1866c89964c863f743f5c92e07118805.plot"}'

Response:

{
  "success": true
}

get_plots

Functionality: List all local plots

Usage: chia rpc harvester [OPTIONS] get_plots [REQUEST]

Options:

Short Command	Long Command	Type	Required	Description
-j	--json-file	FILENAME	False	Optionally instead of REQUEST you can provide a json file containing the request data
-h	--help	None	False	Show a help message and exit

Request Parameters: None

备注

The plots will be grouped into three categories:

• failed_to_open_filenames - plots that the harvester was unable to open; these plots may be incomplete, corrupted or otherwise damaged
• not_found_filenames - typically these are plots that exist and are readable, but were created under a different key than the current one
• plots - a listing of all valid plots that were created with the current key used by the harvester

Example

chia rpc harvester get_plots

Response:
