# Index Control
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
Index Control is a compact endpoint for index-related remote control.
|
|
|
|
Use it only when a tool needs the specific service behavior exposed by this endpoint.
|
|
|
|
## What You Can Do Here
|
|
|
|
- Index Control is a compact endpoint for index-related remote control.
|
|
- Send exact parameter names and encoded values rather than natural-language approximations.
|
|
- Inspect the response format before using the endpoint in a larger tool chain.
|
|
|
|
## Page Architecture
|
|
|
|
Machine/API pages are compact endpoints. Their architecture is request-parameter driven: callers provide the smallest needed set of arguments and consume a direct response rather than a guided administration workflow.
|
|
|
|
| Control | Meaning | Values or examples |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
|
|
## Correct Use
|
|
|
|
Call the endpoint as a protocol surface. Use exact parameter names and encoded values, authenticate when required, and inspect the response before relying on it. Avoid sending browser-only submit buttons unless the backend explicitly requires the action key.
|
|
|
|
## Access And Safety
|
|
|
|
Administrator access is required. YaCy protects `_p` pages as administration pages.
|
|
|
|
Protected related endpoint(s): `/rct_p.html`.
|
|
|
|
## Automation And API
|
|
|
|
Page backend: `source/net/yacy/htroot/rct_p.java`.
|
|
|
|
| Endpoint | Method | Access | Backend |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `/rct_p.html` | `POST` | admin | `source/net/yacy/htroot/rct_p.java` |
|
|
|
|
### Parameter Guide
|
|
|
|
The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default. Low-level generated parameters are omitted when they are only meaningful inside the rendered YaCy form.
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Meaning and valid values | Care |

|
|
|
|
Example request shape:
|
|
|
|
```http
|
|
POST /rct_p.html
|
|
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
|
|
|
|
peer=...&retrieve=...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What To Expect
|
|
|
|
Expect a compact service response rather than a teaching interface. The response may be XML, RSS, JSON-like text, plain text, or a small HTML template depending on the endpoint.
|
|
|
|
## Related Pages
|
|
|
|
- Related protocol work usually continues through the calling tool, the peer endpoint family under `/yacy/`, or the API page that consumes this response.
