Hi,

I've just made, and published Adobe Flash ActionScript 3 class for RouterOS API

DogHead · Wed May 27, 2009 1:06 am

The examples, etc using the API are great. We are already trying to write our own simplified interface for end users in Delphi based on the examples provided, but it is a major pain for us to learn Delphi (java, ruby or any other programming language for that matter). Even python is tough if you want to make a GUI and are not a programmer.

Before we spend a lot of time re doing what someone else has already accomplished (TowNet, Mikrocontrol, etc), I was wondering if there is someone who already has developed an open, simple windows client, like winbox, but designed for end users so they can simply specify a few parameters without having to understand the entire RouterOS. Source code? We are looking for a complete example that could be easily tweaked.

Webbox is close to what we want, but since you cannot change it's functionality, it is not going to do what we need.

With the introduction of LUA in v4, will we be able to port something like Gargoyle or LUCI onto RouterOS? This would be an interface that is customizable by us mere mortals (ISP guys with limited programming skills). LUA is close enough to simple scripting that we can figure it out and customize it ourselves. Of course you would need to be able to upload the LUA pages to a web server on the device in order for this to work.

Chupaka · Wed May 27, 2009 1:19 am

We are already trying to write our own simplified interface for end users

what functionality do you need?

DogHead · Wed May 27, 2009 1:54 am

We would want to be able to:

1. Add/enable bridge or mesh interface
a. Bond interfaces into bridge or mesh
b. For bridge turn on or off RTSP
c. For mesh make portal node
2. Configure wireless
a. Set mode, band, frequency, SSID
b. Enable Nstreme
c. Enable WPA and set PSK
3. IP/Routing/NAT
a. Apply IP address and mask to interface
b. Enable NAT and set public interface
c. Set up port forwarding
d. Enable DMZ (one host for port forwarding) and set address
e. Set default gateway
f. Add/delete static routes
4. DHCP
a. Enable server on interface with range, default gw, and dns server
b. Enable client on interface
5. Administration
a. Set password
b. Set system ID
c. Set time zone and time
d. Enable and set NTP

All values would populate from the running configuration of the router. Apply would change only values that were altered. The rest of the detailed set up would be done via winbox or telnet by an administrator. If there were even more configuration available, but we had the option of editing the source to delete out the functions we don't need for a particular type of user, it would be really cool. Maybe the ability to reset and run a script would be good. Still thinking about it.

This is the kind of application I think a lot of people want, but none of us has either the programming skill or the money to pay for development. Once an example is made, I bet you would have all sorts of variants. Your API test interface was good, but didn't really go far enough in showing how edits would work, etc.

Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Would look something like the attached:

No word from anyone on this.

We would love to see someone come up with a good working solution.

webasdf · Tue Oct 13, 2009 6:23 am

I'm working on an API client in C at the moment (for implementation in an openWRT metarouter). Has this been done yet? I don't want to re-invent the wheel, especially since my C is really rusty.

So many seg faults so little time

DogHead, you have nice screenshot - what's problem? you now just need a bit of coding =) can you share that form? p.s. is it Delphi?

webasdf · Tue Oct 13, 2009 3:41 pm

I did previously find API SDK by Townet, Italy, but they only published object files and headers. I need source code in order to cross compile for openWrt in MetaRouter. BTW, I will post it when I get it finished.

webasdf · Thu Oct 15, 2009 1:35 am

C implementation of the API attached. If anybody wants to check my work, comments are welcome.

Enjoy!

janisk · Thu Oct 15, 2009 11:53 am

webasdf, thank you for your addition.

code is clearly written and easy to read.

If you could make wiki article with your source and some explanation you could even get some benefits. you can read that in this post by normis

Silly question. I went to start an article on the wiki about my C implementation of the API. I can't find the sign-up page to create an account on the wiki site. I have several important changes to make to my implementation and want to get them documented. Is there a signup page or do I need to e-mail someone about creating an account on the wiki?

Chupaka · Fri Oct 30, 2009 1:51 am

yeah, the registration of new accounts is blocked:

Permissions Errors

You do not have permission to create this user account, for the following reason:

The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Administrators.

who broke the Wiki? ))

Fri Oct 30, 2009 9:50 am

why do you need another account?

wiki registration was temporatily blocked because of spam attacks, we will try to solve it, and turn it on later today

Chupaka · Fri Oct 30, 2009 2:38 pm

webasdf needs his first account - and cannot register %)

Fri Oct 30, 2009 2:45 pm

OK I will turn on registration now

webasdf · Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:07 pm

Thanks for opening registration on the wiki. I was able to make an account.

webasdf · Sat Oct 31, 2009 4:25 pm

does anyone know any better spam protection plugins for mediawiki ? REcaptcha is not stopping them anymore.

I manage a PHPBB forum sometimes. On our registration form, we have CAPTCHA as well as a basic question, "What color is the sky?" I read somewhere that simple questions like that can fool most spambots. If you can add a simple mandatory field (so that you can't register w/o selecting the right answer) on your reg form like that, it may work for you. It seems to have worked for us.

Made some modifications to my C implementation. It has been successfully tested with 1, 2 and 3-byte encoded length fields (the logic should also work w/ 4-byte lengths). Also supports little endian AND big endian CPU architectures. Here's a link. API in C Wiki Article

nice article webasdf, please write to support@mikrotik.com so we can give you well earned RouterOS license.

we have 2 new additions from ayfan in PHP and Octo in C

xezen · Tue Dec 01, 2009 7:27 am

im new to api and codeing and looking for advice

i think php would work for me

what i am trying to get is read the gps connected to the serial port of a mikrotik

so i will have a gsp connected to serial and my api will read it!

put i cant seem to get the gps data up can some one point me to the line were i call the gpsdata up please

janisk · Tue Dec 01, 2009 9:03 am

are you able to read that information in console? with what command?

xezen · Tue Dec 01, 2009 3:04 pm

i have a a gsp connected to console and on the routerboard i set remoter accesson a port
to connect to the serial

example

gps-----serail on routerboard-------wireless

on the routerboard i set a remote to seial connection

so i get this
x.x.x.x:5000

in internet explore

if i type in x.x.x.x:5000 it shows me a webpage with all datat comming off the gps

then with my oracle database i read and store the data

then i use geoserver and oracle and google earth to give me my live gps feeds as long as my wireless stays up

took some time to get this setup running

csickles · Fri Sep 10, 2010 7:39 pm

Cool.............

I just snagged a copy of the C# code and compiled it into a DLL...

For those like me who dont do C#, but do VB,,

Here is a DLL (It is un-altered from the WIKI (Except a referance to system.socket))

Reference it in Your VB project like so...


    Private Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGo.Click
        Dim sStatus As String = ""
        Dim MTK As New MikroTikAPI.MK("10.0.0.3")

        Me.rtInfo.Text = ""
        If MTK.Login("Your-UserID-Here", "Your-Password-Here") Then

            MTK.Send("/ip/address/print")
            'MTK.Send("/ping")
            'MTK.Send("=address=10.0.0.1")
            'MTK.Send("=count=1")
            'MTK.Send("/interface/wireless/registration-table/print")
            MTK.Send(".tag=sss", True)

            For Each sStatus In MTK.Read
                Me.rtInfo.Text = Me.rtInfo.Text + vbCr + sStatus
            Next
        Else
            Me.rtInfo.Text = "Login Error. Correct User / Password"
        End If
        MTK = Nothing
        sStatus = Nothing
    End Sub

This will get you started..

Remember that the return is sent back as a list object, so you need to cycle thru it as in the above example..

The Tags statement will need to be dealt with.. I havent had time to study it's function Etc...

Off I go to play with the New MikroTik API object.. Lets see how long it takes me to brick a router....

janisk · Mon Sep 13, 2010 2:04 pm

good.

and what about .tag?

it is there to identify reply from command and will contain same tag set as you set it sending command to RouterOS.

csickles · Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:13 am

Ok, I think I got it.

So if I send a tag of "MyTag" then the reply contains the same text in the reply "tag"?

I will give it a try...

Thx..

csickles · Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:20 am

K...

Makes sence now..

the ".tag=MyTag" shows the "command sender IE: who issues the command so that the reply can be verified.

Cool... More to come...

csickles · Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:25 am

So I have the cool use of the day...

You have a email scanner of web filter, and it detects that traffic from one IP or a range if IPs is just garbage.. IE viruses or boat loads of SPAM..

Then you could (Via API) add the IP/s to an IP list and then use firewalling to drop all IPs on that list..

With scripting Etc (Or the device adding the offending IP/s to the list) the system admin(s) could be notified by email Etc..

COOL !!!

janisk · Thu Sep 16, 2010 10:46 am

in case of viruses that is good solution in case of mail - no normal user needs to make SMTP connection more than once in a second or in a few seconds, so, if you can add just rate limiting smtp connections, or add to blacklist allowing 1 connection every 30 seconds or ban altogether.

That can be done this way because users when send e-mail with many recipients, they send one message.

csickles · Thu Sep 16, 2010 8:51 pm

For smaller users this is true...

For us Old timmers that have Mail server records in the 10s of thousands. (Spammers NEVER delete an address they figure out)
(We were 6500 users on the average at any one time (IT staff = 340) over the years) turn over for over 25 Years...

Our avarage SPAM load is 250 to 350 SPAMS per user per day.
Multiply that by 15K users, and more and more payloads are to one or two persons at a time (to avoid list SPAM rules (Bots send so who cares about sender CPU loads))..

My Avg. SPAM load is 99.98% bad at the mail gateway. (99.8 % to people that DONT EXIST ! LDAP takes a BEETING !!)

It requires 3 seporate scanning systems (Layered) (One with 8 AV engines) just to "TAME" it down...

So blocking spammers at the router (IP based) is a GOOD thing...

Mabee my filtering systems can stop SMOKING !!!

And as far as connection rates..

Microsoft "rates" user / system connection rates... Mine even with the filters rates as "Obcene"..

I have had comment from Microsoft SEs "And it is still running ?".. I say no more..

how execute command in PHP API

 queue simple disable P40-34-9-2

i've tryed that way

$API->write('/queue/simple',false);
$API->write('=disable=P40-34-9-2');

but it sad unknow command

any solution ?

Chupaka · Sun Sep 19, 2010 3:44 am

try

$API->write('/queue/simple/disable',false);
$API->write('=.id=P40-34-9-2');

Thanks a lot that was useful.

Phalanx00 · Sun Feb 13, 2011 9:54 am

I have a stupid question on http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/API_In_CPP:
I need to send 4 commands, but only first one will execute.

login...
// first command
            writeSentence.AddWord("/export");
            writeSentence.AddWord("=file=script");
            
            mt.WriteSentence(writeSentence);
            mt.ReadBlock(block);

// second command
            writeSentence.AddWord("/file/set");
            writeSentence.AddWord("=numbers=script.rsc");
            writeSentence.AddWord("=contents=\"" + Commands + "\"");
  
            mt.WriteSentence(writeSentence);
            mt.ReadBlock(block);

So I tried wait for !done

bool done = 0;
while (!done) {
                mt.ReadSentence(readSentence);

                if (readSentence.GetSentence() == "!done" ) {
                    done = 1;
                }
}

But I have right debug output and still only first command will be executed. All of commands worked alone nice. This is the last thing what I need to finish my hell project

Thank you for anything usefull

janisk · Tue Feb 15, 2011 3:23 pm

It looks correct at first glance at what you posted, with what commands i have tested.

You could try to sniff traffic and see what sniff contains, if there are replies from router and what they contain.

if completely unsure, you can try with python example and see if these commands actually work.

Phalanx00 · Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:31 pm

There's something weird in CPP API.

my app is these four commands:
1) create file
2) edit file
3) import file
4) remove file

In Qt/C++ I have this behavior:
1) if file was not created, only file is created (step 1)
2) if file was created, it runs correctly

If anybody could try it, I wrote small client program with clean C++ API solution. Same behavior unless if file was created, import is trap...
I post cpp api if you can try that.

edit client.cpp with your information in call API Login then
make
./client

Hope it helps others too

EDIT: WORKS if use standart exporting, no ip address exporting
writeSentence.AddWord("/export");
writeSentence.AddWord("=file=script");

janisk · Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:34 am

on what board you try to run this and on what RouterOS version?

Tried this on RB1000 with 5.0rc10

first, separate commands, removed quotation from =contents="some text" as that is not required to be there in rsc file.
[edit] wanted to add a bit about the protocol and how this works.
so you send in length and string, that in this case is formed this way:
=contents=blah..blah

API will read length, if it is not too long, it will read the string and see that argument is =contents= the rest of the string is value for the argument. Because of all this, you can set contents to whatever you like, even if you set it to "= contents=" it will be no concern for API.

Same thing happens when API returns some stuff, like script, you get =source=<whole script>

[/edit]

second ran it some other C++ code that did these commands

$ time ./TestAPI 
ret: !done
ret: !done

ret: !done

ret: !done


real    0m0.270s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

p.s. since i am paranoid of sorts, did not run your code.

are these examples of PHP API Class usage?..

Chupaka I searched before building and posting in the wiki and I didn't find any example using this php api.So I did. If you believe they don't belong in the wiki then please delete so.

As for the use I believe it's a simple way of displaying info into a more readable form for a website rather than the respond from the api in an array format.

Chupaka · Wed Mar 23, 2011 2:01 am

sure, they should be in Wiki, just correct the text: it's not "based on the PHP API Class", it "uses PHP API Class" - you deceive people a bit...

all the rest is fine =)

chapeupreto · Wed Mar 23, 2011 4:06 pm

Hi folks.
First, thanks for those links.
By talking in PHP API, I've downloaded the php class mikrotik api posted here

http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=50176

by sw0rdf1sh and I'm using it in some of my projects.
After executing a script that uses that routeros_api.class.php class, I got this message:

Notice: Undefined variable: _ in ... on line 313

Then, I would like to ask you guys a question:
First, consider the following piece of code which exists in that php class (lines 300 up to 320)

// If we have got more characters to read, read them in.
         if ($LENGTH > 0) {
            $_ = "";
            $retlen=0;
            while ($retlen < $LENGTH) {
               $toread = $LENGTH - $retlen ;
               $_ .= fread($this->socket, $toread);
               $retlen = strlen($_);
            }
            $RESPONSE[] = $_ ;
            $this->debug('>>> [' . $retlen . '/' . $LENGTH . ' bytes read.');
         }

         // If we get a !done, make a note of it.
         if ($_ == "!done")
            $receiveddone=true;

         $STATUS = socket_get_status($this->socket);

         
         if ($LENGTH > 0)
            $this->debug('>>> [' . $LENGTH . ', ' . $STATUS['unread_bytes'] . '] ' . $_);

So, there is this PHP variable $_ on it.
Besides the code above, I've glanced the entire class and saw no other mentions for that $_
I suppose my script don't execute those instructions inside that first conditional, i.e., if ($LENGTH > 0) ...
Therefore, when the script reachs that second conditional, i.e., if ($_ == "!done"), the PHP produces the notice message

undefined variable: _

, just because the $_ variable had never been initialized.
Although it's just a simple notice message, is that code right? I mean, don't you guys think the $_ variable should be initialized somewhere before the execution of those IF's?
I tried to contact the author of that API class, but got no success.
That's it.
Thanks for any reply and suggestions.

trakkasure · Wed May 18, 2011 8:49 pm

Just wanted to add my new API to the list of available:

Written in NodeJS: https://github.com/Trakkasure/mikronode

Installable with NPM

npm install mikronode

Features:

* 100% Javascript. (with NodeJS)
* Channel based communication
* Multiple channels can be used at once.
* Synchronous execution of commands issued on the same channel.
* Asynchrounous execution of commands issued on different channels.
* Focus on high performance

... Now if only it would end up in the list on the Wiki ...

janisk · Thu May 19, 2011 9:51 am

it would be nice if you could make wiki page for your implementation. With more explanations or example.

trakkasure · Thu May 19, 2011 7:41 pm

I didn't know I had access to create a wiki page. I'll figure it out.

The GitHub page, https://github.com/trakkasure/mikronode, has full source and examples.

And it can be installed using npm (For those who use it):

npm install mikronode

It works very well. And I have plans to further develop and support it.

trakkasure · Thu May 19, 2011 8:25 pm

I didn't know I had access to create a wiki page. I'll figure it out.

Ok. So.. I created a wiki page (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/User_talk:Trakkasure).. It's under my "talks page".
So.. how do I create one outside of my talks one? (or does someone else do that?)

Still trying to figure it out.

Imho, api ( http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:API_Python3) contains syntax errors. Or am I mistaken?

janisk · Thu Aug 04, 2011 8:25 am

well i was successful running it

, running commands etc.

and python does not complain

wiki spacing could be the problem. File added to wiki. Just have to rename it to py from txt it is saved on the wiki.

this is how it runs:

$ python3 api.py tst admin ''
<<< /login
<<<
>>> !done
>>> =ret=39fe3aa4385c1820b5df799739b50761
>>>
<<< /login
<<< =name=admin
<<< =response=000ef1c4c0919129902827644fe9c65efb
<<<
>>> !done
>>>

edit:
did changes to article and made sure that wiki spacing does not interfere with python

downloaded from python.org && compiled

$ python3 --version
Python 3.2.1

saaremaa · Thu Aug 04, 2011 8:47 am

Thank you for your help. The problem is not only in the gaps Wiki. In Ubuntu it was set to simultaneously release Python v2 and v3. Removed Python v2 and everything started.

janisk · Thu Aug 04, 2011 10:12 am

reading post elsewhere in the forum realised that python3 example is not capable to connect to ipv6 hosts, so i did small update to correct that.

Hi.

Please add this to the Wiki:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/netrouteros/

It's for PHP, but unlike the previous ones, it's heavily OOP and requires PHP 5.3 (for the sake of namespaces), and this in an effort to make it look like a more "natural" extension to PHP, rather than a "bolt on" (and also to simplify some stuff that if you want to use with the other APIs, you really need to know what you're doing).

I'd appreciate any feedback, both here, and on the project page.

Wish someone could help me with an asp API.

Thanks in advance

On the bottom of the API's wiki page, you can see 3 .NET clients - in C#, VB.NET, and an external C# project.

Assuming that by "ASP", you're talking about "ASP.NET", you can use any one of these clients (IMHO, mikrotik4net looks like the most sophisticated client, and as such, the one I'd pick). If by "ASP", you really mean "ASP", as in "ASP classic", I must ask... why? Why not upgrade to ASP.NET?

If you mean you're actually using one of these clients and are having problems... post a new topic about it or something.

We have developing Mikrotik RouterOS API Library from Denis Basta (denis.basta@gmail.com) routeros_api class and we change it to our core class with name Mapi_Core. We have been tested with RouterOS version 3 and above. This spark library allow your Mikrotik RouterOS via CodeIgniter Framework for PHP, and we have make it easier than before for access and manipulating Mikrotik RouterOS API with specific method.

If you are CodeIgniter Framework Programmer, you can get Library for CodeIgniter Spark in this link :

Spark Library : http://getsparks.org/packages/mikrotik_api/show
Spark Repository : https://github.com/vthink/mikrotik_api
Documentation : http://doc.vthink.web.id
Updates Info : http://vthink.web.id/index.php/content/categories/21

if you have codeigniter but doesn't have a spark management package you can install it via terminal with this command :

php -r "$(curl -fsSL http://getsparks.org/go-sparks)"

more information about what is CodeIgniter Spark PHP Framework, please open this link:

By the way how about Mikrotik API Java that janisk created... how it licensed???
I was read in wiki, license said that

Code is provided as is and can be freely used freely. I, as a writer of code, am not responsible for anything that may arise from use of this code.

But I can't see that licensed on GPL or MIT or BSD or something else???
I was developing library that I plan for license on GPL 3. My Core library using MikroTik API Java that was created by Janisk, and I'm doing some modification for adapting with My Library. How do I license janisk work to be part of my library, and how to say that I was doing modification on that class.

If janisk here please respond me...

vthinkteam · Fri Dec 02, 2011 11:58 am

And one things I'm new on Licensing... soo, help me to understand it..

janisk · Fri Dec 02, 2011 2:21 pm

i see all of these licenses restrictive for this peace of code. So, the code is provided AS-IS, you can freely use it as a whole or parts of it, edit it to suit your needs and your project. If you see errors in the code and want them fixed you can contact me and notify about those. If you are going to publish source of your code under some license, just make sure that nobody is going to write me saying that i have some licensed code on the page that i either have to license under same license and write down who the real author is.

vthinkteam · Fri Dec 02, 2011 5:31 pm

Thankz for reply my post...

Can I get your email? cause when I want to contact you, I cannot see email or any other contact for communicating with you.
send me message to vthinkteam@gmail.com

I analyze what you said in this.

If you are going to publish source of your code under some license, just make sure that nobody is going to write me saying that i have some licensed code on the page that i either have to license under same license and write down who the real author is.

first thing, I want to publish my source code with the your source code inside some package of my source code. I will make library called JRouterOS and I want use GPL 3 license on it.

This the situation :
Your code using AS-IS or in other words "unlicensed" (this my opinion).
My Code using license GPL 3.
I want to distribute jar , javadoc, and src in one bundle, that your code in that bundle too.
Your code will be inside JRouterOS.jar in some package on classpath of this jar.

With this situation my question is :
1. Does the license GPL with unlicensed will compatible in one bundle...
2. or, Do my code cannot licensed to GPL 3, so I have to use AS-IS too...

janisk · Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:37 pm

AFAIK you can use my code, just in header add notice that where this code was taken from. That should suffice.

legrang · Mon Dec 30, 2013 2:12 pm

I have written a Java client library for the Mikrotik API.

The library, source code and examples can be found here: https://github.com/GideonLeGrange/mikrotik-java

Current version is 1.0, with 1.1 - which will support TLS encryption - due shortly.

I appreciate all questions and comments.

thx

well, not 'numbers' but '.id', I think. also, .id is in '*number' format, so if '123' is username, then you can use it as .id (need to be checked, but in other places you can use unique name for .id) without worrying that user with .id equal to *123 will be deleted

One more Python API (still beta but functional) :
https://github.com/BlackVS/smartROS (some description in Russian)
Is developed for my own needs.
Main features:

TLS+ADH / TLS+certificates connection supported

routers' credentials stored in config file

human readable conditions (see below)

logging

test script "console" included

Conditions in commands:
in console:

/ip/firewall/address-list/print where="list==Blacklist and address==8.8.8.8"

or in Python ( style 1):

import smartROS
router = smartROS.getRouter("Main")
print( router.ip.firewall.address__list.print (where="list==Blacklist and address==8.8.8.8") )

or in Python ( style 2):

import smartROS
router = smartROS.getRouter("Main")
print( router.do("/ip/firewall/address-list/print", where="list==Blacklist and address==8.8.8.8") )

You just get full list via API and then sort/paginate as you want.

If i fetch full page than what's use of pagination then, pagination helps to load only certain records thats what i want. i dont want to load all records its no use, i want to minimize the delay time faced during full fetched data

mrz · Mon Aug 03, 2020 10:01 am

API does not support such feature. You can only use queries to filter returned items by specific criteria, but no paging.

Here is a library that I wrote a few months ago. It is written in C++17, and uses Boost.Asio (will be included in the C++23 standard).

Does anybody need Labview code for Mikrotik API support?
If yes - I could share it. I wrote it and was using already for few years with good results.
If nobody - I will not bother...

Hello,

I am interested in your LabVIEW code. Could you share it to me, please?
Thank you very much.

There are clients for C and C++ - just use them?..

Hi, where is the wiki for API C? it seems to be moved, I can't access, thank you!

Anyone who knows a API framework that supports command concatenation or command substitution aka “[]” or "()" ? We've tried some frameworks for python, perl, php and javascript but found nada so far.

Could it be the implementations that is limited or even worse a restriction in the core API itself?

Chupaka · Tue May 10, 2022 4:02 pm

What exactly do you want to do by "command concatenation or substitution"?..

Question from a non techie..... What is an API...
APIs let your product or service communicate with other products and services without having to know how they’re implemented.

Okay, so not much further ahead other than its some sort of, in my experience, ICD (interface control document which details the inputs and outputs of data and their formats at an interface so that two systems communicating can be programmed to accept and provide data in the agreed to formats).

This appears similar to API, so what are all the APIs being used for by folks here? Is it simply to program the MT routers from some other software?

Is just another protocol like HTTP...
No matter if IIS, Apache, nginx, etc., no matter if is etscape, opera, firefox, internet explorer...

Hi, any API for PHP, JS or Python for hAP lite TC RB941-2nD-TC?

I wanted to create a hotspot management system so I can rent my Internet connection via WiFi. Thanks!

Have you read https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:API ? Is it so hard to find that page? If yes, what could be done do make searching forum better instead of search.php?keywords=api+links ? What's wrong with the topic itself viewtopic.php?t=29073 ?

i have a few queues and i would like to create a shortcurt to my desktop PC (Win 10) so i could enable/disable a particular queue, without user interaction.
I have basic programming training, nothing special. So even a bat file would do the trick. Is there a way to do this please?

SSH. Simply setup SSH access with key (instead of password, so you don't need to type it) - and you can run any command from .bat by simply executing something like

ssh admin@router_IP "/queue simple disable queue1"

$API->write("/interface/l2tp-server/server/set",false);
$API->write("=enabled=false",true);

Enable

$API->write("/interface/l2tp-server/server/set",false);
$API->write("=enabled=true",true);

Work Fine, thanks
