phpIPAM API documentation

phpIPAM comes with full REST API you can use to interact with phpipam with your own applications. It follows rest guidelines and recommendations.

Please note: url_rewrite is required for API to work ! Read this guide.

To simplify deployment you can use API classes for different languages available on Github - Collection of API clients for phpipam API.

1.) General information

1.1 HTTP Request methods

phpipam API uses standard HTML request methods that are described in below table:

Method Description
OPTIONS Returns all supported controllers and methods
GET Reads object(s) details and returns it in requested format
POST Creates new object
PUT Changes object values
PATCH Alias to PUT method
DELETE Deletes an object

1.2 Request structure

REST request to be sent to API server for unencrypted and SSL API requests should be provided in standard URL structure:
<HTTP_METHOD> /api/<APP_NAME>/<CONTROLLER>/ HTTP/1.1

Example:
GET /api/myAPP/sections/ HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
token: UJMcRNGjxH5UvHGeRy!vzgtL
Host: api.phpipam.net

1.3 Encrypted requests

phpIPAM API also supports encrypted requsts that can be sent over internet via normal HTTP request with encrypted payload. To create encrypted app select "crypt" under api settings (App security). Encrypted requests should be sent to API server in following format:
GET /api/?app_id=<APP_NAME>&enc_request={encrypted_request} HTTP/1.1
To encrypt and decrypt requests base64_encoded MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 encrypted json_encoded request is used :) , encrypted with app_key and formulated in following way:
urlencode(base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, {app_key}, json_encode($request_params), MCRYPT_MODE_ECB)))

Steps to create above request:
  • json_encode request parameters ($_GET)
  • encrypt json_encoded parameters with rijndael_256 using app_key provided in phpipam gui for app
  • base64 encode encrypted parameters to ensure html chars are encoded
  • send GET request with app_id and created enc_request parameters

Examples for php clients can be found in _examples directory in API folder.

mcrypt extension is deprecated in php version 7.1. Please use OpenSSL instead.

1.4 Response handling

API response will be handled with standard HTTP result codes present in response header:
  • 2xx success
  • 4xx client errors
  • 5xx server errors

Response in JSON/XML format will always contain following fields to simplify management:
  • success (true, false)
  • code (http result code)
  • message (in case of failures)
  • data (in case data is present)

Examples:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2015 06:19:33 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.12 (FreeBSD) OpenSSL/1.0.1l-freebsd
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Length: 261
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json
token: UJMcRNGjxH5UvHGeRy!vzgtL
{
    “code“: 200,
    “success“: true,
    “data“: {
    “id”: “92”,
    “name”: “api_post_create”,
    “description”: “lalala 12”,
    …
    }
}
Example of bad request:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2015 06:38:41 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.12 (FreeBSD) OpenSSL/1.0.1l-freebsd
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Length: 59
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json
{
    “code“: 400,
    “success“: false,
    “message“: “invalid controller”
}
If new object will be created header will also contain Location field with href of newly created element and id field:
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 14:01:36 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.12 (FreeBSD) OpenSSL/1.0.1l-freebsd
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Location: /api/myAPP/sections/92/
Content-Length: 65
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json
{
    “code”: 201,
    “success”: true,
    “id”:92,
    “data”: “Section created successfully”
}

1.5 Output format

Output format, e.g. the way result data is presented to client is handled with “Content-type” request header. By default API will return data in json format, you can change this with Content-type header.

API supports 2 types of result formatting:
  • JSON (default)
  • XML
By default API will return JSON format, if XML is required add Content-Type request header:
Content-Type: application/xml

1.6 Global API parameters

Global parameters can be added to each API requst to manage result handling. Currently supported global parameters are:
parameter type description
links boolean Controls weather to show links inside results to discover options. Default: true
filter_by varchar Filters result by this field (field must exist)
* If no results are present response will be http 404 (not found)
filter_value varchar Filters results by this value
* required if filter_by is specified
filter_match 1.4 full,partial,regex Additional option for filtering results.
tips:
  • If you need timed response set var $time_response to true in api/index.php.
  • If you need API to work in thread-safe mode set this for each app under administration.
Example:
{
"code": 200,
"success": true,
"data": {
    "id": "1472",
    "showName": "0",
    ...
    "links": [
        {
        "rel": "self",
        "href": "/api/myAPP/subnets/1472/",
        "methods": [
            "GET",
            "POST",
            "DELETE",
            "PATCH"
            ]
        },
        {
        "rel": "usage",
        "href": "/api/myAPP/subnets/1472/usage/",
        "methods": [
            "GET"
            ]
        }
        ...
    }

2.) Authentication and permissions

2.1 Dynamic authentication

To use API first you have to authenticate with username/password from account created in phpipam application. Authentication is done via “authorization” HTTP header. If authentication is successfull you will receive API token that needs to be included in header in each next API requests. Please note that SSL is highly recommended, if authentication type is BASIC request is sent unencrypted and can be easily interceted and decoded.

  • Authentication is required for NONE and SSL security
  • SSL security is highly recommended
Along with token you will receive also token expiration date, which is set to 6 hours by default and can be changed. Each successfull request resets the expiration time for token. Token validity can be checked by issuing a GET request to user (GET /api/myAPI/user/) with "phpipam-token" or "token" header containg token. To reset validity issue a PATCH request to same URL.
Note: "token" or "phpipam-token" header needs to be included in each API request to identify yourself!

Available methods for authentication (user) controller:

Method URL Description
GET /api/my_app/user/ Checks if token is still valid and returns expires value for token.
“phpipam-token” or "token" HTTP header must be present.
/api/my_app/user/token/ Returns token expiration date
/api/my_app/user/token_expires/ Returns token expiration date
/api/my_app/user/all/ Returns all users
rwa app permissions required
/api/my_app/user/admins/ Returns admin users
rwa app permissions required
POST /api/my_app/user/ Authenticates user through “authorization” header.
Successfull response contains “token” and “expires”.
This token must be included in each following interactions with API as “phpipam-token” HTTP header.
PATCH /api/my_app/user/ Same as GET, but it resets the expiration of token.
“phpipam-token” or "token" HTTP header must be present.
DELETE /api/my_app/user/ Removes (revokes) token.
“phpipam-token” or "token" HTTP header must be present.


Example:

Request:
POST /api/myAPP/user/ HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic YWgta146c3A0bm1raWE=
Host: api.phpipam.net
Response (success):
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2015 06:05:28 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.12 (FreeBSD) OpenSSL/1.0.1l-freebsd
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Length: 103
Content-Type: application/json

{“code”:200,”success”:true,”data”:{“token”:”Z1q=j2bdwx56NR14KFcTi7P$”,”expires”:”2015-07-09 20:05:28″}}
API Call to get all sections:
GET /api/myAPP/sections/ HTTP/1.1
token: Z1q=j2bdwx56NR14KFcTi7P$
Host: api.phpipam.net

2.2 Static authentication

From version 1.4 on there is an option to use static authentication. Difference compared to dynamic authentication is that you don't need to authenticate with user/pass to get token for queries but you use static token that is defined for APP. SSL is required in this case.

Dynamic authentication is considered more secure as token is dynamicall generated on each login.

Note: "token" or "phpipam-token" header needs to be included in each API request to identify yourself!

2.2 Authorisation (permissions)

Authorisation (permissions) are controlled with app_id – ID of your application. You can set authorisation parameters on phpipam web UI. To retrieve permissions for current APP you can use OPTIONS, result will output permissions, they can be one of the following:

  • Disabled
  • Read
  • Read / Write
  • Read / Write / Admin

Example:

Request:
curl -X OPTIONS -H "token: Z1q=j2bdwx56NR14KFcTi7P$" "http://api.phpipam.net/api/myAPP/"
Response:
{
    "code": 200,
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "permissions": "Read / Write",
        "controllers": [
        ...
        ]
    }
}

3.) Controllers

Controllers control which portion of phpipam you wish to work on, or which objects. Controller is a second request parameter that should be sent to server. Currently available API controllers are:

Controller Description

subnets Manages Subnets and folder objects
folders Folders is alias for subnets controller.
addresses Manages IP addresses
vlans Manages VLANs
l2domains Manages VLAN domains
vrfs Manages VRF

3.10 Prefixes controller 1.3

Prefix controller is a special controller, available from version 1.3, whose purpose is to simplify automatic subnet / address provisioning by eliminating the need to specify subnetId, sectionId etc in API calls, but instead relies on custom fields that marks subnets that are being used for this process.

This controller returns first available subnet or first available address from all subnets, that are marked with specific custom field. Custom fields are controllable and must be changed in class itself.

Default subnet selectors:
  • $custom_field_name = “customer_type”;
