# transferURL
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
transferURL exchanges URL metadata between peers.
|
|
|
|
Use it when YaCy peers share crawl or index knowledge.
|
|
|
|
## What You Can Do Here
|
|
|
|
- Exchange URL metadata with another peer.
|
|
- Keep hashes and URL identifiers exact.
|
|
- Use the response to support peer index synchronization.
|
|
|
|
## Page Architecture
|
|
|
|
This is a compact endpoint-style page. Its behavior is driven mainly by request parameters and the selected response template, so callers should send only the fields needed for the specific query or peer-service action.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
This is a peer-service endpoint for YaCy peer communication, not a normal editing page.
|
|
|
|
## Automation And API
|
|
|
|
Page backend: `source/net/yacy/htroot/yacy/transferURL.java`.
|
|
|
|
| Endpoint | Method | Access | Backend |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `/yacy/transferURL.html` | `GET or POST` | peer-service | `source/net/yacy/htroot/yacy/transferURL.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.
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Meaning and valid values | Care |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `url` | URL to inspect, crawl, import, or act on. | Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default. |
|
|
|
|
Example request shape:
|
|
|
|
```http
|
|
GET or POST /yacy/transferURL.html?url=...&iam=...&key=...&urlc=...&youare=...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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.
