How to use EVE-NG API

EVE-NG APIs use JSend, a JSON response in the following syntax:

{
	"code": 404,
	"message": "Requested folder does not exist (60008).",
	"status": "fail"
}

Code is the HTTP response code, message is a simple string explaining what is going on, and status is a single word explaining the response. Five status type are used:

success for 20x HTTP codes;
unauthorized for 400 HTTP code, meaning that the user session has timed out;
unauthorized for 401 HTTP code, meaning that user should login;
forbidden for 403 HTTP code, meaning that user does not have enough privileges;
fail for other 40x HTTP codes;
error for 50x HTTP codes.

The default Web-UI uses only APIs, so this is an essential part to develop new Web-UI themes, integration and so on. Mind that each user can login from a single location only. If the same user login twice, the second login disable the first one.

EVE-NG Pro use ssl protocol. All samples here require adding -k and https as protocol… So adapt this documentation….

Due to EVE-NG Code evolution, some call’s documentation are outdated ( more parameters supported ). It is advised to use the GET method to have a full set of parameters available.

Authentication

The following API requests are involved on login and logout process. All other API requests require an authenticated user.

curl -s -b /tmp/cookie -c /tmp/cookie -X POST -d '{"username":"admin","password":"eve"}' http://127.0.0.1/api/auth/login

A successful login provides the following output:

{
    "code": 200,
    "message": "User logged in (90013).",
    "status": "success"
}

User Info

curl -s -c /tmp/cookie -b /tmp/cookie -X GET -H 'Content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1/api/auth

An authenticated user can get its own information:

{
    "code": 200,
    "data": {
        "email": "root@localhost",
        "folder": "/",
        "lab": null,

        "username": "admin"
    },
    "message": "User has been loaded (90002).",
    "status": "success"
}

Logout

curl -s -c /tmp/cookie -b /tmp/cookie -X GET -H 'Content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1/api/auth/logout

All users can logout, this request cannot fail:

{
    "code": 200,
    "message": "User logged out (90019).",
    "status": "success"
}

System status

curl -s -c /tmp/cookie -b /tmp/cookie -X GET -H 'Content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1/api/status
