1 Introduction

The MultiConnect R

rCell is a cellular router that uses a RESTful JSON API for managing conﬁgurations, polling

statistics, and issuing commands. This document provides information on the design, patterns, and methods

within the rCell API. The Appendix of this document has additional information for those unfamiliar with the

REST architecture or JSON data format. For additional examples and use-cases, explore the JavaScript within

the rCell website, speciﬁcally https://[rcell ip]/js/api.js.

2 Requests

All API requests will be directed to the https://[rcell ip]/api url. The majority of requests follow the same RESTful

pattern. Following the api url will be a collection name or a command directive. For example, information on

the current DHCP settings can be found in the DHCP collection at https://[rcell ip]/api/dhcp. A full list of

collections and commands can be found in section 4. For all examples in this document, the rCell’s IP address is

192.168.2.1.

2.1 Making Requests

The RESTful interface allows users to retrieve data, add data, update data, and delete data using call methods:

GET, POST, PUT and DELETE, respectively. These methods can be set in the HTTP header, or they can be

set in the URI using the key: method. Using the URI parameter method is a useful way to execute RESTful

requests through a web browser. Additional URI parameters can be found in section 2.9 URI Parameters.

All API requests return a JSON object. The JSON response will always contain the members code and status.

The status member indicates a high-level result of the request and has two possible values: success and fail. The

code member is an HTTP response code describing the outcome of the API result. For a full list of response

code values, see section 3.2.2 Error Codes.

If an API call was successful, it may contain the member: result. This member contains data that was either

requested or data that was generated as part of the API request. If an API call was unsuccessful, the JSON

response will contain the member error. This member is a short description of the failure.

Example: Retrieving the current DHCP setting using the method URI parameter.

1GET https://192.168.2.1/api/dhcp?method=GET

3Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

31 },

32 "status" :"success"

33 }

The API allows requests to path to speciﬁc elements or groups of embedded elements. For example, if a user

only wanted to know if DHCP was enabled, they could make the request: https://[rcell ip]/api/dhcp/enabled.

Example: Path to an element within the DHCP collection.

1GET https://192.168.2.1/api/dhcp/enabled

3Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

5" code " :200 ,

6"result" :true,

7"status" :"success"

Accessing objects within an array can be done using the index of the desired object in the path. Some collections

support using an object’s unique identiﬁer in place of the object’s index; generally, this unique identiﬁer is a member

called name or guid. For example, suppose an rCell was conﬁgured with a GRE tunnel named MyGreTunnel, and

a user wanted to know the IP address of the remote end point of that tunnel. The user could make a RESTful

GET request to https://[rcell ip]/api/greTunnels/MyGreTunnel/remoteIp.

Example: Path to an element within an object in an array using the object’s unique identiﬁer.

1GET https://192.168.2.1/api/greTunnels/MyGreTunnel/remoteIp

3Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

5" code " :200 ,

6"result" :"166.184.38.73",

7"status" :"success"

2.2 Logging In

To use the API, a user must be authorized and have equal or greater privileges than the API call they are

invoking. A user can login with valid credentials by passing their username and password to the login URL (

https://192.168.2.1/api/login ) either as URI parameters or within a JSON object. The following call will

cache the token as a cookie in the user’s web browser for authorizing future calls. As an alternative to using a

browser cookie, this token can be passed as a URI parameter using the key: token. Additional URI parameters

can be found in section 2.9 URI Parameters.

Example: Login using username ’admin’ and password ’admin’.

1GET https://192.168.2.1/api/login?username=admin&password=admin

3Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

12 " user " :" admi n "

13 },

14 "status" :"success"

15 }

A token may timeout due to inactivity. The timeout conﬁguration is in the rCell’s Remote Access collection (

api/remoteAccess/timeoutSeconds ). There are two authorizers, one for website access and one for non-web

browser usage, such as command line utilities like wget and curl. The same user can not be logged in through the

same authorizer from more than one IP address. If a user is already logged in and attempts to login from another

IP address, a conﬂict error will be returned. A user can logout from any IP address with the proper credentials.

2.3 Logging Out

The logout call requires that the caller has equal or greater permissions than the user they are logging out. If a

user wants to logout, they can pass their authorized token in the following call:

Example:.https://192.168.2.1/api/logout?token=ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF12345678

To logout another user (guest), a user with equal or greater permissions can use their token to authorize the call:

Example: https://192.168.2.1/api/logout?logoutUser=guest&token=ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF12345678

Credentials can also be passed with the logout command to authorize the logout call of another user:

Example: https://192.168.2.1/api/logout?username=admin&password=admin&logoutUser=guest

2.4 Who Am I

At any point, a user can retrieve their session information using the following API call:

Example:

1GET https://192.168.2.1/api/whoami

3Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

5" code " :200 ,

6"result" :{

14 "status" :"success"

15 }

2 REQUESTS

2.5 Passing JSON Data

Data can be sent to the rCell by passing a JSON object as the request content or by passing a JSON object in

the URI parameter: data. As an example, the following request uses a RESTful PUT call to edit the current

DHCP conﬁgurations by passing in a JSON object with the enabled member set to false

Example: To disable DHCP, send the following request:

https://192.168.2.1/apidhcp?data={"enabled":false}&method=PUT

2.6 Saving Changes

A call to save ( https://[rcell ip]/command/save ) will write current changes to the device settings. Commands

are executed using RESTful POST requests. A full list of commands can be found in section 4.1 Commands.

Example: To save the current changes, send a request to:

https://192.168.2.1/api/command/save?method=POST

2.7 Selecting a Version of an API Call

As the rCell API evolves and new features are added, backwards compatibility can be maintained by setting the

desired API version within the request. The API version can be set through the version URI parameter, or through

the URL path by subscripting the version number with the letter ’v’. If a request has only one version, this value

is ignored.

Example: To use version 1 of the API, all API requests would be made through https://[rcell ip]/api/v1/[request path]

or https://[rcell ip]/api/[request path]?version=1. If a version is not speciﬁed, the request will be executed using

the latest API version.

2.8 Element Descriptions

The API provides documentation on collections and elements through https://[rcell ip]/api/help. For a description

of an element or group of elements, use the path to retrieve the data and prepend help to the collection component.

For example, if a user wanted information on the DHCP element enabled ( https://[rcell ip]/api/dhcp/enabled

), they could submit a RESTful GET request to https://[rcell ip]/api/help/dhcp/enabled.

Example: Retrieving a description of the DHCP member enabled.

1GET https://192.168.2.1/api/help/dhcp/enabled

3Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

5" code " :200 ,

6"result" :{

7"dhcp_enabled" :" en ab le or d is abl e DHCP ser ver ( de fa ult :true) :BOOL"

8},

9"status" :"success"

10 }

The API also provides a separate set of help descriptions that are used by the rCell website for context-sensitive

help-on-hover content. The path to each description follows the menu and category embedding of the rCell

website.

Example: Retrieving a more human-readable description of the DHCP member enabled.

1GET https://192.168.2.1/api/help/Setup/DHCP/Settings/Enabled

3Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

5" code " :200 ,

6"result" :{

7"Setup_DHCP_Settings_Enabled" :" Che ck to use a DHCP s erv er on ne tw ork "

8},

9"status" :"success"

2.9 URI Parameters

URI parameters are reserved keys that are used to modify the functionality of API calls, override HTTP header

values, and bundle multiple API requests together. Below is a list of available URI keys and descriptions of their

functionality.

URI Key Description

ﬁelds Applies a RESTful action to multiple collections/elements. Each request path is separated by a comma. Requested

data within a ﬁeld is returned using the path by replacing ’/’ characters with ’ ’ characters.

Example:

1GET https://192.168.2.1/api?fields=lan/ip,serial/client/enabled&method=GET

3Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

5" code " :200 ,

6"result" :{

7"lan_ip" :"192.168.2.1",

8"serial_client_enabled" :false

9},

10 "status" :"success"

11 }

method Allows passing RESTful action (GET, PUT, POST, & DELETE) in URI. This overrides the HTTP header method.

See section 2.1

apply Allows the request to be applied at the given timestamp without restarting. Currently, only apply=now is

supported.

token Authorized Login Token. This can be passed to authorize an API call. A token is returned upon a successful

inactivity Allows requests to be made without bumping the user’s token expiration date. This is useful for automated polling

loops that still want to allow a user to timeout due to inactivity (inactivity=true)

session Reserved for internal use. This member will be overwritten.

data Allows passing a JSON Object in the URI.

default This option will retrieve the factory defaults of a collection when using a RESTful GET request, and set a collection

to its factory defaults when using a RESTful PUT request. (default=true)

version Sets the API version to use during the request. See section 2.7

username User’s login name. Used for logging into the API. See section 2.2

password User’s login password. Used for logging into the API. See section 2.2

logoutUser User to be logged out. Only used on api/logout request. See section 2.3

3 RESPONSES

3 Responses

All API requests return a JSON object. The JSON response will always contain the members code and status.

The status member indicates a high-level result of the request and has two possible values: success and fail. The

code member is a HTTP response code describing the outcome of the API result. Certain actions or events in

the API may result in a URL redirect, such as trying to access API methods when a user is not logged in. In these

situations, the JSON response may contain the member referrer.

3.1 Success

In the event of a successful request a success message will be returned with the member status set to success

and code set to 200. If data is sent in the response it will be found in the result ﬁeld.

3.1.1 Success response format

1Status:HTTP /1.1 200 OK

3" code " :200 ,

4"status":"success",

5"result":{[JSON Obj ect or Arr ay ]}

3.2 Error

An error response will always contain the members: code,status, and error. If an error is encountered during a

request, the API will halt processing and return an error message. This means that a request with multiple errors

will receive a response containing error information on only the ﬁrst error that the API ﬁnds during the processing

of that request.

3.2.1 Error response format

1Status:HTTP/1.1 [Er ro r Cod e ] [ Er ror M es sag e ]
