HTTP-API
########
-Enabling HTTP-API
------------------
+VyOS provide a HTTP API. You can use it to execute op-mode commands,
+update VyOS, set or delete config.
-VyOS HTTP API can be enabled through the ``set service https api`` command.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set service https api debug
- set service https api keys id MY-HTTP-API-ID key MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY
-
-The local API process listens on localhost:8080, and nginx exposes it on all
-virtual servers, by default. For the purpose of illustration below, we will
-assume nginx is running at https://192.168.122.127.
-
-One can limit proxying to specific listen addresses/ports/server-names by
-defining a ``service https virtual-host <id>``, and setting ``service https
-api-restrict virtual-host <id>``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set service https virtual-host example listen-address 192.168.122.127
- set service https virtual-host example listen-port 44302
- set service https virtual-host example server-name example.net
-
- set service https api-restrict virtual-host example
-
-In this example, nginx will proxy only those requests to
-192.168.122.127:44302 or example.net:44302 (assuming the DNS record is
-viable). Omitting any of listen-address, listen-port, or server-name, will
-leave appropriate defaults in the nginx directive. Multiple instances of
-``service https api-restrict virtual-host`` may be set.
-
-Configuration mode requests
----------------------------
-
-In our example, we are creating a dummy interface and assigning an address to
-it:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k -X POST -F data='{"op": "set", "path": ["interfaces", "dummy", "dum1", "address"], "value": "203.0.113.76/32"}' -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY https://192.168.122.127/configure
-
-The ``/configure`` endpoint takes a request serialized in JSON. The only HTTP
-method it uses is POST. Request data is passed in the ``data=`` field and the
-API key is passed in the ``key=`` field. Key identifiers from the config are
-purely informational and the application doesn't need to know them, they only
-appear in the server logs to avoid exposing keys in log files, you only need
-the key itself.
-
-Since internally there is no distinction between a path and a value, you can
-omit the value field and include the value in the path like it's done in the
-shell commands:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k -X POST -F data='{"op": "set", "path": ["interfaces", "dummy", "dum10", "address", "203.0.113.99/32"]}' -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY https://192.168.122.127/configure
-
-Separate value field make the semantics more clear though, and also makes it
-easier to create a command template once and update it with different values
-as needed.
-
-You can pass the ``set``, ``delete`` or ``comment`` command to it.
-The API will push the command to the session and commit.
-
-To retrieve a value:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k -X POST -F data='{"op": "returnValue", "path": ["interfaces", "dummy", "dum1", "address"]}' -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY https://192.168.122.127/retrieve
-
-Use ``returnValues`` for multi-valued nodes.
+Please take a look at the :ref:`vyosapi` page for an detailed how-to.
+*************
+Configuration
+*************
-Show config
-"""""""""""
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https api keys id <name> key <apikey>
-To retrieve the full config under a path:
+ Set an named api key, every key have the same, full permissions
+ on the system.
-.. code-block:: none
-
- # curl -k -X POST -F data='{"op": "showConfig", "path": ["interfaces", "dummy"]}' -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY https://192.168.122.127/retrieve
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https api debug
-It will return:
-
-.. code-block:: none
+ To enable debug messages. Available via :opcmd:`show log` or
+ :opcmd:`monitor log`
- {"success": true, "data": {"dummy": {"dum1": {"address": "203.0.113.76/32"}}}, "error": null}
-
-Passing an empty path will return the full config:
-
-.. code-block:: none
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https api port
- # curl -k -X POST -F data='{"op": "showConfig", "path": []}' -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY https://192.168.122.127/retrieve
+ Set the listen port of the local API, this have non effect of the
+ webserver. The default is port 8080
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https api strict
-Configuration management requests
----------------------------------
+ Enforce strict path checking
-When saving or loading a configuration, the endpoint is ``/config-file`` and
-you can pass the ``save`` or ``load`` command.
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https virtual-host <vhost> listen-address
-If you don't specify the file when saving, it saves to ``/config/config.boot``.
-Here's an example:
+ Address to listen for HTTPS requests
-.. code-block:: none
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https virtual-host <vhost> listen-port <1-65535>
- # curl -k -X POST -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY -Fdata='{"op": "save", "file": "/config/config.boot"}' https://192.168.122.127/config-file
+ Port to listen for HTTPS requests; default 443
-Image management requests
--------------------------
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https virtual-host <vhost> server-name <text>
-One may ``add`` or ``delete`` a system image using the endpoint ``/image``.
-Here are the respective examples:
+ Server names for virtual hosts it ca be exact, wildcard or regex.
-``add`` from ``url``. Here we use the URL of the latest rolling release:
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https api-restrict virtual-host <vhost>
-.. code-block:: none
+ Nginx exposes the local API on all virtual servers, by default
+ Use this to restrict nginx to one or more virtual hosts.
- # curl -k -X POST -F data='{"op": "add", "url": "https://downloads.vyos.io/rolling/current/amd64/vyos-rolling-latest.iso"}' -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY https://192.168.122.127/image
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https certificates certbot domain-name <text>
-``delete`` by image ``name``. For example:
+ Domain name(s) for which to obtain certificate
-.. code-block:: none
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https certificates certbot email
- # curl -k -X POST -F data='{"op": "delete", "name": "1.3-rolling-202006070117"}' -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY https://192.168.122.127/image
+ Email address to associate with certificate
-To list the available system images by name, one may use the operational mode
-request ``show`` discussed in the next section; in this setting it would be:
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https certificates system-generated-certificate
-.. code-block:: none
+ Use an automatically generated self-signed certificate
- # curl -k -X POST -F data='{"op": "show", "path": ["system", "image"]}' -F key=MY-HTTP-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY https://192.168.122.127/show
+.. cfgcmd:: set service https certificates system-generated-certificate lifetime <days>
-Operational mode requests
--------------------------
+ Lifetime in days; default is 365
-It is possible to run ``show`` and ``generate`` commands:
