# API Reference
Base URL: `http://127.0.0.1:8123`
Auth header when enabled:
```http
x-clickthrough-token: <token>
```
This API is intended for AI computer control through these methods:
- `see`
- `interact`
- `interact/verify`
- `exec`
All responses use one envelope.
## Response Envelope
Success:
```json
{
"ok": true,
"request_id": "...",
"time_ms": 1710000000000,
"data": {},
"error": null
}
```
Error:
```json
{
"ok": false,
"request_id": "...",
"time_ms": 1710000000000,
"data": null,
"error": {
"code": "validation_error",
"message": "request validation failed",
"details": []
}
}
```
## 1) See
### `POST /see`
Capture a full screen or a region. Optional grid overlay returns coordinate metadata for click mapping.
```json
{
"screen": 0,
"region_x": null,
"region_y": null,
"region_width": null,
"region_height": null,
"with_grid": true,
"grid_rows": 12,
"grid_cols": 12,
"include_labels": true,
"image_format": "png",
"jpeg_quality": 85,
"ocr": false,
"ocr_min_confidence": 0,
"ocr_lang": "eng",
"ocr_psm": null
}
```
Returns:
- `data.image.base64`
- `data.meta.region` (global desktop coords)
- `data.meta.grid` (rows/cols/cell size + formula)
- `data.meta.ocr` (when `ocr=true`)
OCR item shape:
- `text`
- `confidence`
- `bbox` (global coords)
- `center`
- `region_relative_bbox`
### `POST /see/zoom`
Capture a tighter crop around a global point and draw another grid over that crop.
```json
{
"screen": 0,
"center_x": 1200,
"center_y": 720,
"width": 500,
"height": 350,
"with_grid": true,
"grid_rows": 20,
"grid_cols": 20,
"include_labels": true,
"image_format": "png",
"jpeg_quality": 90
}
```
Use this for precision before clicking tiny controls.
## 2) Interact
### `POST /interact`
Mouse/keyboard action execution.
```json
{
"screen": 0,
"action": {
"action": "click",
"target": {
"mode": "grid",
"region_x": 0,
"region_y": 0,
"region_width": 1920,
"region_height": 1080,
"rows": 12,
"cols": 12,
"row": 7,
"col": 3,
"dx": 0.0,
"dy": 0.0
},
"button": "left",
"clicks": 1
}
}
```
Supported actions:
- `move`, `click`, `right_click`, `double_click`, `middle_click`
- `scroll` (`scroll_amount`)
- `type` (`text`, `interval_ms`)
- `hotkey` (`keys`)
- `click_text` (OCR-driven text click with optional region)
Target modes:
- `pixel`: absolute global `x,y`
- `grid`: grid cell from a `see`/`see/zoom` response
### `click_text` example (full screen OCR)
```json
{
"screen": 0,
"action": {
"action": "click_text",
"click_text": {
"text": "Sign in",
"match": "contains",
"case_sensitive": false,
"min_confidence": 45,
"occurrence": "best"
}
}
}
```
### `click_text` example (region OCR)
```json
{
"screen": 0,
"action": {
"action": "click_text",
"click_text": {
"text": "Continue",
"match": "exact",
"region": { "x": 940, "y": 520, "width": 400, "height": 260 },
"occurrence": "first"
}
}
}
```
## 3) Interact Verify
### `POST /interact/verify`
Execute one interact action, then poll quick OCR verification checks until success or timeout.
```json
{
"action": {
"screen": 0,
"action": {
"action": "click_text",
"click_text": {
"text": "Apply",
"match": "contains"
}
}
},
"verify": {
"type": "ocr_text_near_point",
"text": "Applied",
"x": 1180,
"y": 640,
"radius": 120,
"screen": 0,
"match": "contains"
},
"check_interval_ms": 250,
"timeout_ms": 3000
}
```
Response includes:
- `action_result`
- `verified`
- `attempts`
- `last_check`
- `duration_ms`
## 4) Exec
### `POST /exec`
Run host shell commands (PowerShell/Bash/CMD).
```json
{
"command": "Get-Process | Select-Object -First 5",
"shell": "powershell",
"timeout_s": 20,
"cwd": "C:/Users/Paul",
"dry_run": false
}
```
Required header:
```http
x-clickthrough-exec-secret: <secret>
```
## Minimal Procedure for Agents
1. `see` full screen with coarse grid.
2. If uncertain, `see/zoom` target area with denser grid.
3. `interact` one action.
4. `see` again to confirm state change.
5. Use `exec` only when GUI interaction is not the right tool.
