Mikrotik: Api Examples

Harnessing the MikroTik RouterOS API: Integration and Automation

Python Example (librouteros)

The standard API uses a sentence-based messaging system over raw TCP. Commands follow the CLI structure but use a specific syntax for attributes. mikrotik api examples

package main

PHP is often used for web-based management interfaces. base = "https://ROUTER_IP/rest" auth = HTTPBasicAuth("admin"

base = "https://ROUTER_IP/rest" auth = HTTPBasicAuth("admin", "yourpass") mikrotik api examples

# Scan for APs def scan_wireless(interface='wlan1'): results = api('/interface/wireless/scan', 'interface': interface, 'duration': '5', 'once': '' ) for ap in results: print(f"ap['ssid'] - ap['signal-strength'] dBm - ap['address']")

For ISPs or managed service providers, the API is essential for automating user access. This example shows how you might programmatically add a new user to a Hotspot or a PPPoE service via a web portal. // Using a standard PHP client library '192.168.88.1' 'password' ]);
