# Federation API
This API allows a server administrator to manage Synapse's federation with other homeservers.
Note: This API is new, experimental and "subject to change".
## List of destinations
This API gets the current destination retry timing info for all remote servers.
The list contains all the servers with which the server federates,
regardless of whether an error occurred or not.
If an error occurs, it may take up to 20 minutes for the error to be displayed here,
as a complete retry must have failed.
The API is:
A standard request with no filtering:
```
GET /_synapse/admin/v1/federation/destinations
```
A response body like the following is returned:
```json
{
"destinations":[
{
"destination": "matrix.org",
"retry_last_ts": 1557332397936,
"retry_interval": 3000000,
"failure_ts": 1557329397936,
"last_successful_stream_ordering": null
}
],
"total": 1
}
```
To paginate, check for `next_token` and if present, call the endpoint again
with `from` set to the value of `next_token`. This will return a new page.
If the endpoint does not return a `next_token` then there are no more destinations
to paginate through.
**Parameters**
The following query parameters are available:
- `from` - Offset in the returned list. Defaults to `0`.
- `limit` - Maximum amount of destinations to return. Defaults to `100`.
- `order_by` - The method in which to sort the returned list of destinations.
Valid values are:
- `destination` - Destinations are ordered alphabetically by remote server name.
This is the default.
- `retry_last_ts` - Destinations are ordered by time of last retry attempt in ms.
- `retry_interval` - Destinations are ordered by how long until next retry in ms.
- `failure_ts` - Destinations are ordered by when the server started failing in ms.
- `last_successful_stream_ordering` - Destinations are ordered by the stream ordering
of the most recent successfully-sent PDU.
- `dir` - Direction of room order. Either `f` for forwards or `b` for backwards. Setting
this value to `b` will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to `f`.
*Caution:* The database only has an index on the column `destination`.
This means that if a different sort order is used,
this can cause a large load on the database, especially for large environments.
**Response**
The following fields are returned in the JSON response body:
- `destinations` - An array of objects, each containing information about a destination.
Destination objects contain the following fields:
- `destination` - string - Name of the remote server to federate.
- `retry_last_ts` - integer - The last time Synapse tried and failed to reach the
remote server, in ms. This is `0` if the last attempt to communicate with the
remote server was successful.
- `retry_interval` - integer - How long since the last time Synapse tried to reach
the remote server before trying again, in ms. This is `0` if no further retrying occuring.
- `failure_ts` - nullable integer - The first time Synapse tried and failed to reach the
remote server, in ms. This is `null` if communication with the remote server has never failed.
- `last_successful_stream_ordering` - nullable integer - The stream ordering of the most
recent successfully-sent [PDU](understanding_synapse_through_grafana_graphs.md#federation)
to this destination, or `null` if this information has not been tracked yet.
- `next_token`: string representing a positive integer - Indication for pagination. See above.
- `total` - integer - Total number of destinations.
# Destination Details API
This API gets the retry timing info for a specific remote server.
The API is:
```
GET /_synapse/admin/v1/federation/destinations/<destination>
```
A response body like the following is returned:
```json
{
"destination": "matrix.org",
"retry_last_ts": 1557332397936,
"retry_interval": 3000000,
"failure_ts": 1557329397936,
"last_successful_stream_ordering": null
}
```
**Response**
The response fields are the same like in the `destinations` array in
[List of destinations](#list-of-destinations) response.
