1 General description on API protocol:
2 =========================================================================
3 All API nodes currently use POST requests for all parameters.
4 All API nodes return JSON data unless explicitly noted ,
5 and all JSON results will contain a 'response' element.
6 The 'response' may be set to:
7 * 'ok' on success. Further contents depend on the node requested.
8 * 'invalid' on invalid requests. A 'cause' element should give a
9 keyword denoting what was invalid about the request...
10 * 'failed' on simple failure. A 'cause' element is supplied, with a
11 failure-keyword (e.g. 'nonexistant', 'inuse', 'dbfail').
12 A final 'detail' is commonly included, with a verbose desctiption.
13 * 'error' on critical failure. Regard this as a soft form of "500 server error"...
15 So, in all Return-specifications it should be assumed that 'response' is set to
19 Authentication mechanism:
20 =========================================================================
21 All API nodes except 'auth/login' and 'auth/logout' require a
22 'token authentication' based on a session identifier (session) and a
23 session authentication key (auth_key) passed as parameters.
25 The 'session' and 'auth_key' values are provided as response to a
26 successful API login through 'auth/login', and must be included as
27 parameters to all subsequent calls to the API.
29 The 'auth_key' has a limited lifetime (configurabel, defaul 5 minutes),
30 significantly shorter than the session lifetime. The 'auth_kye' must
31 be renewed before the key lifetime expires, by issuing a call to
32 'auth/ping'. The ping call will provide a new key that replaces the
33 previous 'auth_key' in subsequent calls to the API.
35 API login may be done using either a username/password combination,
36 or using a registered API key tied to the host originating the requests.
38 See documentation for nodes under 'auth/*' for information about
39 adding, removing and maintaining authentication users and keys.
43 call auth/login with username and password
44 store session and auth_key for further requests
46 perform API calls with session and auth_key set
49 call auth/ping with session and auth_key set
50 update the auth_key used for requests
52 perform API calls with session and auth_key set
55 call auth/logout with session set
57 NOTE: that the API also requires COOKIE-support in the user-agent
58 used to communicate with the API.
60 NOTE: See README for information on configuring API authentication
61 backends, and boostrapping the user/key authorizations.
64 =========================================================================
65 'user'/'alias' parameters marked '*' may alternatively be given as
66 username=foo + domain=bar
67 alias_username=foo + alias_domain=bar
70 =========================================================================
84 Returns 'session' set to the allocated session_name and 'auth_key'
85 set to the generated auth_key. These must be used for further access,
86 and the key must be refreshed through 'auth/ping' at intervals.
87 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'unauthorized' if Login failed
96 // De-authenticate/deauthorize the ongoing session.
97 // I.e. destroy session data, remove session cookies.
100 Returns 'ok' on successful logout
105 session=$session_name
110 // API clients are required to periodically ping the server
111 // The time between pings (interval) is 5 minutes?
112 // A ping call refreshes cookie lifetimes, then
113 // generates and stores a new auth_key
114 // The ping required a valid session...
115 // A successful ping returns a 'response' => 'pong'
116 // along with the new auth_key.
118 NOTE!: Does not give 'response' => 'ok' !
121 Returns 'pong' with 'auth_key' set to the new key to be used
122 with the session_name in further requests.

221 // the current authentication has write access.
222 // The created user should be added to authorizations
223 // with an access level of "limited_read (1)"
229 TODO: This is not implemented. Document, write test and implement.
230 Returns 'notimplemented'

244 On success, 'user' will be set to the user-data set:
246 type,username,password,domain,authid,registrar,
247 r_port,proxy,p_port,dialplan,displayname,linetext

365 Changes the password for the given user, returns 'ok' with 'detail' as
366 a descriptive text on success. In the current implementation,
367 provisioning and kamailio passwords are handled separately, so one
368 may succeed and the other fail. As is, this permits password changes
369 of non-local provision users with minimal effort.
372 Returns 'detail' on success.
373 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'invalid' if SIP address is malformed.
374 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'nonexistant' if user does not exist.

470 parameter is included, the list is the result of a globbing search,
471 a subset matching on the MAC addresses.
474 Returns 'list' as a simple array of registered MAC-adresses on success,
475 the list will be limited to addresses matching the search if provided.
485 Adds a phone-to-user association to Provisioning. The user may be
486 provided as 'username' and 'domain' in separate parameters, or as
487 'user' in sip-address form. The MAC address must be valid, in plain-hex

526 returned. With 'search', the result of a pre-post globbing search is
527 returned With 'random', a list of entries is returned unordered (random
528 order) For all nodes, 'limit' may be a numeric limit of desired
532 Returns the list of numbers as the array 'list'.
533 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'empty' if no numbers were listed...
542 The start and end must have identical lead-in, and start must be less
543 than end. Both numbers must be given in E164 format, remember to
544 urlencode the plus (+ -> %2B). The numeric component of both will be
545 extracted, and all numbers in the range will be iteratively added to
546 the pool, including the ending number.
549 TODO: Document additional info provided on 'result' = 'ok'
550 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'rejected' with 'detail' set on failure

587 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'dbfail' on database failure.
595 Tests if the given E164 number is in the pool.
598 Returns 'number' = '<number>' If the number is in the pool
599 Returns response = 'failed' with 'cause' = 'nonexistant' if not.
605 destination=foo@bar.bz
609 With no parameters, this will return all defined aliases (potentially a
610 huge list). With the destination parameter set, only aliases for that
611 destination will be listed, and with the e164 option set to true, only
612 an e164 alias will be returned (if one/it exists). The alias parameter
613 gives the same behaviour, but looks up an alias address instead of the
614 destination. The e164 option is not valid for the alias search

619 'destination' and 'alias' pairs.
620 Returns 'ok' with an empty array if the search gave no results.

632 points to the destination SIP-adress.
635 On success, 'ok' is returned, with 'alias' and 'destination' set to the
636 resulting alias and destination adresses.
637 Returns 'invalid' with 'cause' = 'destination' or 'alias' if the
638 resulting alias-adress or destination are invalid SIP-adresses.
639 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'nxdomain' if the given alias domain is
640 not a Kamailio domain.
641 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'exists' if the alias is an E164 number
642 and the user already has an E164 alias registered.
643 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'nonexistant' when an alias for a local
644 domain is requested, but the local subscriber does not exist.
645 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'exists' for aliases that already
646 exists, (and aliases that overlaps SIP-accounts - not implemented).
655 Removes the alias given by alias_username and alias_domain.
658 Returns 'ok' with the removed alias adress as 'alias' on success
659 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' = 'nonexistant' it the alias does not

669 Returns a list of configured and valid domains. May return an empty
670 list if no domains are configured for kamailio. No node is provided
671 to add domains, this is not a task for Hermes, but a kamailio
675 Returns a list of domains as 'list' on success.
676 Returns 'failed' on database errors.

691 given domain results in an empty set (not configured).
697 registrar=server.bar.bz
701 prov_url=http://server.bar.bz/hermes/prov
704 Sets the server data for the given domain. All of these parameters
705 are Required: 'domain', 'registrar', 'r_port', 'proxy', 'p_port', 'prov_url'.
706 If no default server data is defined, the configuration is added.
707 If server configuration existed, the default data is updated.
710 Returns 'ok' with 'servers' set as domain/get_servers on success.
711 Returns 'failed' with 'cause' set to 'cause' set to 'parameters'
712 if one of these is true:
714 * One or more NULL/empty parameters
715 * Non-numeric values for port-numbers.
716 If you need to determine which of these triggered, the
717 'description' contains a text describing the actual fail.
718 Return 'failed' with 'cause' = 'error' on database failure.

734 Some TODO's listed above ...
736 Permissions! (user/permissions?user=...)
737 The permissions bit-flag seems to be:
748 can_read_full() checks!
750 Improve robustness of change_pw: fetch old password for rollback/testing.
752 Check for locations where sql_dbexec_rows is more appropriate/correct than sql_dbexec
754 Perform an evaluation of the security related to the api-key functionality,
755 and replace if the method is evaluated as too weak. I.e. implement strong
756 non-interactive, non-user based authentication.
