3. RESTful API v1 Specification

3.1. Authentication

The HTTP/HTTPS authentication should be used, for example with curl it is possible to specify username and password with -u <user>:<password>

Using HTTPS is recommended for security. See this post to enable HTTPS.

3.2. Request Format

Parameters can be provided both using GET with a query string or POST using JSON (in this case please make sure the correct Content Type is provided). For example, to download data for a host you can use the below curl command line using GET:

curl -s -u admin:admin "http://192.168.1.1:3000/lua/rest/v1/get/host/data.lua?ifid=1&host=192.168.1.2"

or the below curl command line using POST:

curl -s -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ifid": "1", "host": "192.168.1.2"}' "http://192.168.1.1:3000/lua/rest/v1/get/host/data.lua"

Please check the Examples section for more examples.

3.3. Response Format

An API response is usually represented by a JSON message matching a standard structure. This JSON message consists of an envelope containing:

  • a return code rc
  • a human-readable string rc_str describing the return code
  • the actual response in rsp

Example:

{
 "rc": 0
 "rc_str": "OK",
 "rsp": {
    ...
 }
}
