This specification describes the API for consuming go-waku when built as a dynamic or static library
# libgowaku.h
# Introduction
Native applications that wish to integrate Waku may not be able to use nwaku and its JSON RPC API due to constraints
on packaging, performance or executables.
An alternative is to link existing Waku implementation as a static or dynamic library in their application.
This specification describes the C API that SHOULD be implemented by native Waku library and that SHOULD be used to
consume them.
# The API
## General
### `JsonResponse` type
All the API functions return a `JsonResponse` unless specified otherwise.
`JsonResponse` is a `char *` whose format depends on whether the function was executed successfully or not.
On failure:
```ts
{
error: string;
}
```
For example:
```json
{
"error": "the error message"
}
```
On success:
```ts
{
result: any
}
```
The type of the `result` object depends on the function it was returned by.
### `JsonMessage` type
A Waku Message in JSON Format:
```ts
{
payload: string;
contentTopic: string;
version: number;
timestamp: number;
}
```
Fields:
- `payload`: base64 encoded payload, [`waku_utils_base64_encode`](#extern-char-waku_utils_base64_encodechar-data) can be used for this.
- `contentTopic`: The content topic to be set on the message.
- `version`: The Waku Message version number.
- `timestamp`: Unix timestamp in nanoseconds.
### `DecodedPayload` type
A payload once decoded, used when a received Waku Message is encrypted:
```ts
interface DecodedPayload {
pubkey?: string;
signature?: string;
data: string;
padding: string;
}
```
Fields:
- `pubkey`: Public key that signed the message (optional), hex encoded with `0x` prefix,
- `signature`: Message signature (optional), hex encoded with `0x` prefix,
- `data`: Decrypted message payload base64 encoded,
- `padding`: Padding base64 encoded.
### `FilterSubscription` type
The criteria to create subscription to a light node in JSON Format:
```ts
{
contentFilters: ContentFilter[];
pubsubTopic: string?;
}
```
Fields:
- `contentFilters`: Array of [`ContentFilter`](#contentfilter-type) being subscribed to / unsubscribed from.
- `topic`: Optional pubsub topic.
### `ContentFilter` type
```ts
{
contentTopic: string;
}
```
Fields:
- `contentTopic`: The content topic of a Waku message.
### `StoreQuery` type
Criteria used to retrieve historical messages
```ts
interface StoreQuery {
pubsubTopic?: string;
contentFilters?: ContentFilter[];
startTime?: number;
endTime?: number;
pagingOptions?: PagingOptions
}
```
Fields:
- `pubsubTopic`: The pubsub topic on which messages are published.
- `contentFilters`: Array of [`ContentFilter`](#contentfilter-type) to query for historical messages,
- `startTime`: The inclusive lower bound on the timestamp of queried messages. This field holds the Unix epoch time in nanoseconds.
- `endTime`: The inclusive upper bound on the timestamp of queried messages. This field holds the Unix epoch time in nanoseconds.
- `pagingOptions`: Paging information in [`PagingOptions`](#pagingoptions-type) format.
### `StoreResponse` type
The response received after doing a query to a store node:
```ts
interface StoreResponse {
messages: JsonMessage[];
pagingOptions?: PagingOptions;
}
```
Fields:
- `messages`: Array of retrieved historical messages in [`JsonMessage`](#jsonmessage-type) format.
- `pagingOption`: Paging information in [`PagingOptions`](#pagingoptions-type) format from which to resume further historical queries
### `PagingOptions` type
```ts
interface PagingOptions {
pageSize: number;
cursor?: Index;
forward: bool;
}
```
Fields:
- `pageSize`: Number of messages to retrieve per page.
- `cursor`: Message Index from which to perform pagination. If not included and forward is set to true, paging will be performed from the beginning of the list. If not included and forward is set to false, paging will be performed from the end of the list.
- `forward`: `true` if paging forward, `false` if paging backward
### `Index` type
```ts
interface Index {
digest: string;
receiverTime: number;
senderTime: number;
pubsubTopic: string;
}
```
Fields:
- `digest`: Hash of the message at this [`Index`](#index-type).
- `receiverTime`: UNIX timestamp in nanoseconds at which the message at this [`Index`](#index-type) was received.
- `senderTime`: UNIX timestamp in nanoseconds at which the message is generated by its sender.
- `pubsubTopic`: The pubsub topic of the message at this [`Index`](#index-type).
## Events
Asynchronous events require a callback to be registered.
An example of an asynchronous event that might be emitted is receiving a message.
When an event is emitted, this callback will be triggered receiving a JSON string of type `JsonSignal`.
### `JsonSignal` type
```ts
{
type: string;
event: any;
}
```
Fields:
- `type`: Type of signal being emitted. Currently, only `message` is available.
- `event`: Format depends on the type of signal.
For example:
```json
{
"type": "message",
"event": {
"subscriptionId": 1,
"pubsubTopic": "/waku/2/default-waku/proto",
"messageId": "0x6496491e40dbe0b6c3a2198c2426b16301688a2daebc4f57ad7706115eac3ad1",

"contentTopic": "/my-app/1/notification/proto",
"version": 1,

}
}
```

**Parameters**
1. `char* queryJSON`: JSON string containing the [`StoreQuery`](#storequery-type).
2. `char* peerID`: Peer ID supporting the store protocol.
The peer must be already known.
It must have been added before with [`waku_add_peer`](#extern-char-waku_add_peerchar-address-char-protocolid)
or previously dialed with [`waku_connect_peer`](#extern-char-waku_connect_peerchar-address-int-timeoutms).
3. `int timeoutMs`: Timeout value in milliseconds to execute the call.
If the function execution takes longer than this value,
the execution will be canceled and an error returned.
Use `0` for no timeout.
**Returns**
A [`JsonResponse`](#jsonresponse-type).
If the execution is successful, the `result` field contains a [`StoreResponse`](#storeresponse-type)..
## Decrypting messages
### `extern char* waku_decode_symmetric(char* messageJson, char* symmetricKey)`
Decrypt a message using a symmetric key
**Parameters**
1. `char* messageJson`: JSON string containing the [Waku Message](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/14/) as [`JsonMessage`](#jsonmessage-type).
2. `char* symmetricKey`: 32 byte symmetric key hex encoded.
Note: `messageJson.version` is expected to be `1`.
**Returns**
A [`JsonResponse`](#jsonresponse-type).
If the execution is successful, the `result` field contains the decoded payload as a [`DecodedPayload`](#decodedpayload-type).
An `error` message otherwise.
```json
{
"result": {
"pubkey": "0x......",
"signature": "0x....",
"data": "...",
"padding": "..."
}
}
```
### `extern char* waku_decode_asymmetric(char* messageJson, char* privateKey)`
Decrypt a message using a secp256k1 private key
**Parameters**
1. `char* messageJson`: JSON string containing the [Waku Message](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/14/) as [`JsonMessage`](#jsonmessage-type).
2. `char* privateKey`: secp256k1 private key hex encoded.
Note: `messageJson.version` is expected to be `1`.
**Returns**
A [`JsonResponse`](#jsonresponse-type).
If the execution is successful, the `result` field contains the decoded payload as a [`DecodedPayload`](#decodedpayload-type).
An `error` message otherwise.
```json
{
"result": {
"pubkey": "0x......",
"signature": "0x....",
"data": "...",
"padding": "..."
}
}
```
## Utils
### `extern char* waku_utils_base64_encode(char* data)`
Encode a byte array to base64.
Useful for creating the payload of a Waku Message in the format understood by [`waku_relay_publish`](#extern-char-waku_relay_publishchar-messagejson-char-pubsubtopic-int-timeoutms)
**Parameters**
1. `char* data`: Byte array to encode
**Returns**
A `char *` containing the base64 encoded byte array.
### `extern char* waku_utils_base64_decode(char* data)`
Decode a base64 string (useful for reading the payload from Waku Messages).
**Parameters**
1. `char* data`: base64 encoded byte array to decode.
**Returns**
A [`JsonResponse`](#jsonresponse-type).
If the execution is successful, the `result` field contains the decoded payload.
### `extern void waku_utils_free(char* data)`
Frees a char* since all strings returned by gowaku are allocated in the C heap using malloc.
**Parameters**
1. `char* data`: variable to free
