API Call from Raspberry (old script)

Tue Aug 18, 2020 10:50 am

Greetings everyone. Here is my short story;

namely, recently I have acquired certain "stuff" to handle, when our developer left company. After that, I got left with loads of Mikrotiks (which I configure) that wont login via api port (update thing).
Thing is, I have no idea on how mikrotik scripts work no how to use php/python languages. I do networking, so my knowledge for this is so limited at the moment.

So, I decided to type something back here to see if any of you guy. I presume that someone who digs this will figure it out in a jiffy as I have spend couple of days trying different stuff I dont understand.

So we use python scripts to manipulate Mikrotik (change Hotspot name, disable/enable/set limits on user surfing, firewalls...what now).
Now all of that is not working.

her`s the script I think is mainly responsible for that"

#!/usr/bin/python

"Routeros api"

self.sk = sk

for repl, attrs in self.talk(["/login"]):
chal = binascii.unhexlify(attrs['=ret'])
md = md5.new()
md.update('\x00')
md.update(pwd)
md.update(chal)
reply = self.talk(["/login", "=name=" + username,
"=response=00" + binascii.hexlify(md.digest())])
return reply

return c

apiros = mikrotikAPI(s);
apiros.login(sys.argv[2], sys.argv[3]);

inputsentence = []

while 1:
r = select.select([s, sys.stdin], [], [], None)
if s in r[0]:
# something to read in socket, read sentence
x = apiros.readSentence()

if sys.stdin in r[0]:
# read line from input and strip off newline
l = sys.stdin.readline()
l = l[:-1]

# if empty line, send sentence and start with new
# otherwise append to input sentence
if l == '':
apiros.writeSentence(inputsentence)
print "LOG: "
print inputsentence
inputsentence = []
else:
inputsentence.append(l)

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()



Now, is there anything here that can be changed in order to make that script work again?
If so, what and why? As I said, I`m no coder so my understanding of anything with "strings" is strongly limited now.

Thank you for your time if you`v reading this.
