Is there a query API for i-doit?

css1971

Hi,

is there a query API for i-doit? I couldn't see anything in the docs. Can I query the app server from other applications to pull out useful information?

Yes there is. But the current API was completely renewed for the next version. Try these in Version 0.9.9-7 and below (1 is the ID of your mandator):

All objects:
/idoit/?ajax=1&call=json&login=admin,adminpasswordasmd5hash,1

All objects of type 5 (server):
/idoit/?ajax=1&call=json&objTypeID=5&login=admin,adminpasswordasmd5hash,1

Info of object 10:
/idoit/?ajax=1&call=json&objID=10&login=admin,adminpasswordasmd5hash,1

Info of object 10 and global category 2:
/idoit/?ajax=1&call=json&objID=10&catgID=2&login=admin,adminpasswordasmd5hash,1

Info of object 10 and specific category 1
/idoit/?ajax=1&call=json&objID=10&catsID=1&login=admin,adminpasswordasmd5hash,1

Parameters:
objID = ID of your object
catgID = ID of your global category
catsID = ID of your specific category
login = username,md5password,mandator-id

When your client supports session handling the login parameter is only needed for initializing the session.
Before i forget: the http method is get and the response is JSON (application/json)

But as i said: This API is actually deprecated in the upcoming version 0.9.9-8, but will still exist for a while.

Magic. exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm wondering if the new API made it into 0.9.9-8?
I can't find any documentation about it.

@ds:

All objects:
/idoit/?ajax=1&call=json&login=admin,adminpasswordasmd5hash,1

That doens't seems to work, It always returns an empty JSON structure.
Am I doing something wrong ?

This does not work anymore in version 1.0 in favor of our new JSON-RPC API. A detailed documentation of that API can be found here: http://akademie.i-doit.com/goto.php?target=file_346&client_id=idoit

This is an example for retrieving cpu (id: 4) data for an object with id 4438, the apikey can be created in "Administration -> Interfaces / external data -> JSON-RPC APi" :

***** Request *****

{"method":"cmdb.category","params":{"apikey":"192npkvfh7","objID":4438,"catgID":4},"id":1,"version":"2.0"}

***** End Of request *****

***** Server response *****

{"result":[{"id":"255","title":null,"manufacturer":{"id":"2","title":"Intel","const":null,"title_lang":"Intel"},"type":{"id":"16","title":"CoreTM i7","const":null,"title_lang":"CoreTM i7"},"frequency":[],"frequency_unit":{"id":"3","title":"GHz","const":"C__FREQUENCY_UNIT__GHZ","title_lang":"GHz"},"cores":null,"description":null}],"error":null,"id":1}

***** End of server response *****

The JSON-RPC Request payload should be sent to http://i-doit-host/src/jsonrpc.php

This is a neat json-rpc client for php: http://jsonrpcphp.org/

I have created an acount to the i-doit academy and i tried to access the API manual (http://akademie.i-doit.com/goto.php?target=file_346&client_id=idoit), but i do not have any rights to the document.

Can anyone please help with the rights or provide me with the document?
