6. Using the WAPT Server APIs

Note

This documentation does not describe all the available APIs, it will however concentrate on the most useful ones.

All available API URLs may be found in /opt/wapt/waptserver/server.py.

URLs are formed by calling the proper command from the WAPT Server, ex: https://srvwapt/command_path.

Hint

This documentation contains examples using Python code or curl.

Warning

Since version 2.5, most API URLs are protected with SSL client certificates. You will have to modify your scripts (cf. examples below).

6.1. API V1

6.1.1. /api/v1/hosts

  • Get registration data of one or several hosts.

    # Args:
    #     has_errors (0/1): filter out hosts with packages errors
    #     need_upgrade (0/1): filter out hosts with outdated packages
    #     groups (csvlist of packages): hosts with packages
    #     columns (csvlist of columns):
    #     uuid (csvlist of uuid): <uuid1[,uuid2,...]>): filter based on uuid
    #     filter (csvlist of field):regular expression: filter based on attributes
    #     not_filter (0,1):
    #     limit (int): 1000
    #     trusted_certs_sha256 (csvlist): filter out hosts based on their trusted package certs
    
    # Returns:
    #     result (dict): {'records':[],'files':[]}
    #     query:
    #       uuid=<uuid>
    #     or
    #       filter=<csvlist of fields>:regular expression
    # """
    
  • List all hosts using the following parameters:

    • reachable;

    • computer_fqdn ==> computer_name;

    • connected_ips;

    • mac_addresses.

    This example shows a request with parameters:

    cert_path = (r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\71253c6c-f412-455b-a907-93b10ce07490.crt',r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\71253c6c-f412-455b-a907-93b10ce07490.pem')
    advanced_hosts_wapt = wgets('https://%s:%s@%s/api/v1/hosts?columns=reachable,computer_fqdn,connected_ips,mac_addresses&limit=10000' % (wapt_user,wapt_password,wapt_url),verify_cert=False,cert=cert_path)
    parsed = json.loads(advanced_hosts_wapt)
    print(json.dumps(parsed, indent=1, sort_keys=True))
    

    This example is a global request:

    cert_path = (r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\71253c6c-f412-455b-a907-93b10ce07490.crt',r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\71253c6c-f412-455b-a907-93b10ce07490.pem')
    hosts_wapt = wgets('https://%s:%s@%s/api/v1/hosts' % (wapt_user,wapt_password,wapt_url),verify_cert=False,cert=cert_path)
    parsed = json.loads(hosts_wapt)
    print(json.dumps(parsed, indent=1, sort_keys=True))
    

    Hint

    This is the same exemple with a simple html request:

    https://admin:MYPASSWORD@srvwapt.mydomain.lan/api/v1/hosts
    

    This one just show request with reachable status, the computer name, its connected ips and its mac addresses. The display limit is 10000.

    https://admin:MYPASSWORD@srvwapt.mydomain.lan/api/v1/hosts?columns=reachable,computer_fqdn,connected_ips,mac_addresses&limit=10000
    

6.1.2. /api/v1/groups

  • Get all group packages. Group is found with section group in the package:

    cert_path = (r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\71253c6c-f412-455b-a907-93b10ce07490.crt',r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\71253c6c-f412-455b-a907-93b10ce07490.pem')
    group_wapt = wgets('https://%s:%s@%s/api/v1/groups' % (wapt_user,wapt_password,wapt_url),verify_cert=False,cert=cert_path)
    parsed = json.loads(group_wapt)
    print(json.dumps(parsed, indent=1, sort_keys=True))
    

    Hint

    This is the same exemple with a simple html request:

    https://admin:MYPASSWORD@srvwapt.mydomain.lan/api/v1/groups
    

6.1.3. /api/v1/host_data
