<![CDATA[Unable to access Joplin Server API]]>I'm trying to use the Joplin Data API, but I'm not getting anywhere. I am using the firewall my VPS provider has, and I made sure to accept inbound TCP requests to port 41184 per the Joplin docs. I also added it to the whitelist per the Cloudron docs. This did not resolve the issue. Any idea what I could be missing? Thanks in advance.

I read that and used the app to start the Web Clipper service, but I was under the impression that I was starting the Web Clipper on the Joplin server. Instead, it starts up a service on the client or workstation running the Joplin app. I don't think the wording is as "direct" or clear as it could be. Thanks.

Joplin Data API

I think there is a misunderstanding here. The described api is something that the desktop application of Joplin implements. It also says directly at the beginning of the page:

This API is available when the clipper server is running.

The server seems to only have a (delta) syncing api and not full rest access to the data.

env file perhaps?

The rest of the endpoints (notes, tag, folders) just respond with:

{
	"error": "Path not found: api/notes"
}

I tried with the following URLS:

  • sub.domain.tld:41184/ping
  • sub.domain.tld/api/ping

The URL using /api/ping responds with:

{
	"status": "ok",
	"message": "Joplin Server is running"
}
