SiYuan Note API
Use the SiYuan kernel API via curl to search, read, create, update, and delete blocks and documents in a self-hosted knowledge base. No extra tools needed — just curl and an API token.
Prerequisites
- Install and run SiYuan (desktop or Docker)
- Get your API token: Settings > About > API token
- Store it in
~/.hermes/.env:SIYUAN_TOKEN=your_token_here SIYUAN_URL=http://127.0.0.1:6806SIYUAN_URLdefaults tohttp://127.0.0.1:6806if not set.
API Basics
All SiYuan API calls are POST with JSON body. Every request follows this pattern:
curl -s -X POST "${SIYUAN_URL:-http://127.0.0.1:6806}/api/..." \
-H "Authorization: Token $SIYUAN_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"param": "value"}'Responses are JSON with this structure:
{"code": 0, "msg": "", "data": { ... }}code: 0 means success. Any other value is an error — check msg for details.
ID format: SiYuan IDs look like 20210808180117-6v0mkxr (14-digit timestamp + 7 alphanumeric chars).

Common type values in SQL queries:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
d | Document (root block) |
p | Paragraph |
h | Heading |
l | List |
i | List item |
c | Code block |
m | Math block |
t | Table |
b | Blockquote |
s | Super block |
html | HTML block |
Pitfalls
- All endpoints are POST — even read-only operations. Do not use GET.
- SQL safety: only use SELECT queries. INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/DROP are dangerous and should never be sent.
- ID validation: IDs match the pattern
YYYYMMDDHHmmss-xxxxxxx. Reject anything else. - Error responses: always check
code != 0in responses before processingdata. - Large documents: block content and export results can be very large. Use
LIMITin SQL and pipe throughjqto extract only what you need. - Notebook IDs: when working with a specific notebook, get its ID first via
lsNotebooks.
Alternative: MCP Server
If you prefer a native integration instead of curl, install the SiYuan MCP server:
# In ~/.hermes/config.yaml under mcp_servers:
mcp_servers:
siyuan:
command: npx
args: ["-y", "@porkll/siyuan-mcp"]
env:
SIYUAN_TOKEN: "your_token"
SIYUAN_URL: "http://127.0.0.1:6806"
