Introduction

📘
The Router API works on an IXrouter running firmware 3.19 or later.

The Router API can be used to get an overview of the state of the IXrouter, get configuration details, and make configuration changes. Example use cases are integrating the router into custom tooling or existing ERP systems. The local web interface of the IXrouter also makes use of the Router API. The Router API follows JSON-RPC 2.0 to make a remote procedure call (RPC) and is available over HTTP by making a POST request to the /ubus endpoint.

The documentation examples assume the router's LAN IP address is 192.168.140.1.

Format

The format is as follows:

curl --request POST \
     --url "192.168.140.1/ubus"
     --data '
     {
         "jsonrpc": "2.0",
         "id": $request_id,
         "method": "call",
         "params": [
             "$session_id",
             "$object",
             "$method",
             { $args }
         ]
     }'

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": $request_id,
    "result": [
        $response_code,
        { $response_data }
    ]
}

Request:

Parameter	Type	Explanation
`$request_id`	Integer	A unique ID to identify the request. Could be `1`.
`$session_id`	String	A valid session ID that has permissions to access the object and method. Use `00000000000000000000000000000000` for calls that do not require authentication, otherwise use a session ID obtained by logging in, see How to authenticate to the API.
`$object`	String	The object to call, for example `ixon.ui.overview`.
`$method`	String	The object's method to call, for example `get`.
`$args`	Object	The arguments to pass to the object's method. Use an empty object (`{ }`) when no arguments are needed.

Response:

Parameter	Type	Explanation
`$request_id`	Integer	The ID of the request.
`$response_code`	Integer	The response code. Could be any of the following: `0`: Success `1`: Invalid command `2`: Invalid argument `3`: Method not found `4`: Not found `5`: No response `6`: Permission denied `7`: Request timed out `8`: Operation not supported `9`: Unknown error `10`: Connection failed
`$response_data`	Object	The call's response.

Calls

The following calls are supported:

Name	Object	Method	Args	Authentication Required
Login	`session`	`login`	`{ "username": String, "password": String, "timeout": Integer }`	No
Overview	`ixon.ui.overview`	`get`	`{ }`	No
Configuration	`ixon.ui.configuration`	`get`	`{ }`	Yes
		`set`	`{ "configuration": Object }`	Yes
Account	`ixon.ui.account`	`password_set`	`{ "password": String }`	Yes

Refer to the individual pages for details. Some calls require authentication, see How to authenticate to the API.

TIP
The following response indicates you did not supply a valid session ID:
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "error": {
        "code": -32002,
        "message": "Access denied"
    }
}
This can happen if you supply the null-session ID to a call that requires authentication, or your session ID has expired. Use the Login call again to obtain a new session ID.
