## Breakdown of Features
|
||||
|
||||
### [Faster-than-light Engine](https://github.com/pi-hole/ftl)
|
||||
|
||||
[FTLDNS](https://github.com/pi-hole/ftl) is a lightweight, purpose-built daemon used to provide statistics needed for the Web Interface, and its API can be easily integrated into your own projects. As the name implies, FTLDNS does this all *very quickly*!
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the statistics you can integrate include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Total number of domains being blocked
|
||||
- Total number of DNS queries today
|
||||
- Total number of ads blocked today
|
||||
- Percentage of ads blocked
|
||||
- Unique domains
|
||||
- Queries forwarded (to your chosen upstream DNS server)
|
||||
- Queries cached
|
||||
- Unique clients
|
||||
|
||||
The API can be accessed via [`telnet`](https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL), the Web (`admin/api.php`) and Command Line (`pihole -c -j`). You can find out [more details over here](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-api/1863).
|
||||
|
||||
### The Command Line Interface
|
||||
|
||||
The [pihole](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/) command has all the functionality necessary to be able to fully administer the Pi-hole, without the need of the Web Interface. It's fast, user-friendly, and auditable by anyone with an understanding of `bash`.

This [optional dashboard](https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE) allows you to view stats, change settings, and configure your Pi-hole. It's the power of the Command Line Interface, with none of the learning curve!
