# ubiquiti-clients
Go client libraries for interacting with Ubiquiti network devices via their REST APIs, plus a CLI tool.
**⚠️ Disclaimer: These libraries are based on reverse-engineered API calls. They are not official Ubiquiti products and are subject to change if the device firmware changes.**
## Packages
### toughswitch
A client library for interacting with Ubiquiti ToughSwitch devices (specifically tested with
ToughSwitch POE Pro (TS-8-PRO)) via their internal REST API.
#### Features
- **Authentication**: Handles login and session token management automatically (or explicitly via `Login`).
- **Multi-Device Support**: Manage multiple devices with a single client instance.
- **Consolidated Data**: `GetToughSwitch` fetches all device data in a single call (Device, System, Interfaces, VLANs, Services, Statistics, Neighbors).
- **Data Retrieval**:
- **System Information**: Hostname, uptime, firmware version, etc.
- **Interfaces**: Status, POE settings, link speed, statistics.
- **VLANs**: Configuration and trunk information.
- **Services**: SSH, Telnet, Web Server, NTP, SNMP, etc.
- **Statistics**: Real-time throughput, errors, and resource usage.
- **Discovery**: Neighbor discovery via UBNT protocol.
### edgeos
A client library for interacting with Ubiquiti EdgeOS devices (EdgeRouter, EdgeSwitch) via their REST API.
#### Features
- **Authentication**: Handles login and session management automatically (or explicitly via `Login`).
- **Multi-Device Support**: Manage multiple devices with a single client instance.
- **Consolidated Data**: `GetEdgeOS` fetches all device data in a single call (AuthInfo and Config).
- **Data Retrieval**:
- **System Configuration**: Hostname, domain name, and other system settings.
- **Interface Configuration**: Ethernet and switch interface settings, including PoE.
- **VLAN Configuration**: VLAN assignments, PVID, and tagged VLANs.
- **Device Information**: Model, ports, PoE capabilities, and features.
## CLI Tool
A command-line tool is included for quick device queries.
### Installation
```bash
go install gitea.libretechconsulting.com/rmcguire/ubiquiti-clients/cmd@latest
```
### Configuration
Create a config file (YAML or JSON):
```yaml
logLevel: info
logFormat: console
clients:
- name: switch1
type: toughswitch
host: 192.168.1.1
user: ubnt
pass: password
insecure: true
timeout: 10s
- name: router1
type: edgeos
host: 192.168.1.2
user: ubnt
pass: password
insecure: true
timeout: 10s
```
Environment variables can also be used (and take priority over config file):
- `LOG_LEVEL`, `LOG_FORMAT` for top-level settings
- `CLIENT_0_NAME`, `CLIENT_0_HOST`, `CLIENT_0_TYPE`, etc. for client array
### Usage
```bash
# Get info from a single device
cmd --config config.yaml get device switch1
# Get info from all configured devices
cmd --config config.yaml get devices
# With flags
cmd --config config.yaml get device switch1 --pretty --color
```
## Library Installation
```bash
# For ToughSwitch
go get gitea.libretechconsulting.com/rmcguire/ubiquiti-clients/pkg/toughswitch
# For EdgeOS
go get gitea.libretechconsulting.com/rmcguire/ubiquiti-clients/pkg/edgeos
```
## Library Usage
### ToughSwitch Basic Example
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"time"
"gitea.libretechconsulting.com/rmcguire/ubiquiti-clients/pkg/toughswitch"
)
func main() {
ctx := context.Background()
// Configure your device(s)
configs := []toughswitch.Config{
{
Host: "192.168.1.1",
Username: "ubnt",
Password: "password",
Insecure: true, // Set to true if using self-signed certs
Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
},
}
// Initialize the client
client := toughswitch.MustNew(ctx, configs)
// Optionally pre-authenticate (otherwise happens automatically on first request)
if err := client.Login(ctx, "192.168.1.1"); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to login: %v", err)
}
// Fetch system information
deviceHost := "192.168.1.1"
system, err := client.GetSystem(ctx, deviceHost)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to get system info: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("Connected to: %s (Timezone: %s)\n", system.Hostname, system.Timezone)
// Fetch interfaces
ifaces, err := client.GetInterfaces(ctx, deviceHost)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to get interfaces: %v", err)
}
for _, iface := range ifaces {
fmt.Printf("Interface %s: %s (POE: %s)\n",
iface.Identification.ID,
iface.Status.Speed,
iface.Port.POE,
)
}
}
```
### EdgeOS Basic Example
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"time"
"gitea.libretechconsulting.com/rmcguire/ubiquiti-clients/pkg/edgeos"
)
func main() {
ctx := context.Background()
// Configure your device(s)
configs := []edgeos.Config{
{
Host: "192.168.1.1",
Username: "ubnt",
Password: "ubnt",
Insecure: true, // Set to true if using self-signed certs
Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
},
}
// Initialize the client
client := edgeos.MustNew(ctx, configs)
// Optionally pre-authenticate (otherwise happens automatically on first request)
if err := client.Login(ctx, "192.168.1.1"); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to login: %v", err)
}
// Fetch device information
deviceHost := "192.168.1.1"
authInfo, err := client.GetAuthInfo(ctx, deviceHost)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to get auth info: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("Connected to: %s (%s) with %d ports\n",
authInfo.ModelName, authInfo.Model, authInfo.Ports)
// Fetch system configuration
system, err := client.GetSystem(ctx, deviceHost)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to get system config: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("Hostname: %s, Domain: %s\n", system.HostName, system.DomainName)
// Fetch interfaces
interfaces, err := client.GetInterfaces(ctx, deviceHost)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to get interfaces: %v", err)
}
for name, config := range interfaces.Ethernet {
fmt.Printf("Interface %s: %s (Speed: %s, Duplex: %s)\n",
name,
config.Description,
config.Speed,
config.Duplex,
)
}
}
```
### ToughSwitch: Retrieving Statistics
```go
stats, err := client.GetStatistics(ctx, "192.168.1.1")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, stat := range stats {
// Device level stats
fmt.Printf("CPU Usage: %d%%\n", stat.Device.CPU[0].Usage)
// Per-interface stats
for _, iface := range stat.Interfaces {
fmt.Printf("[%s] Rx: %d bps, Tx: %d bps\n",
iface.Name,
iface.Statistics.RxRate,
iface.Statistics.TxRate,
)
}
}
```
### Fetching All Device Data
Use the consolidated methods to fetch all device information in a single call:
```go
// ToughSwitch: Get everything at once
ts, err := client.GetToughSwitch(ctx, "192.168.1.1")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Model: %s\n", ts.Device.Identification.Model)
fmt.Printf("Hostname: %s\n", ts.System.Hostname)
fmt.Printf("Interfaces: %d\n", len(ts.Interfaces))
fmt.Printf("VLANs: %d\n", len(ts.VLANs.Vlans))
fmt.Printf("Neighbors: %d\n", len(ts.Neighbors))
// EdgeOS: Get everything at once
eos, err := edgeClient.GetEdgeOS(ctx, "192.168.2.1")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Model: %s (%s)\n", eos.AuthInfo.ModelName, eos.AuthInfo.Model)
fmt.Printf("Ports: %d, PoE: %v\n", eos.AuthInfo.Ports, eos.AuthInfo.PoE)
fmt.Printf("Hostname: %s\n", eos.Config.System.HostName)
```
### Working with Multiple Devices
Both clients are designed to handle multiple devices concurrently.
```go
// ToughSwitch example
configs := []toughswitch.Config{
{Host: "192.168.1.1", ...},
{Host: "192.168.1.2", ...},
}
client := toughswitch.MustNew(ctx, configs)
// Get all data for all devices in parallel
allSwitches, err := client.GetAllToughSwitches(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Error fetching some devices: %v", err)
}
for host, ts := range allSwitches {
fmt.Printf("[%s] %s - %d interfaces\n", host, ts.System.Hostname, len(ts.Interfaces))
}
// EdgeOS example
edgeConfigs := []edgeos.Config{
{Host: "192.168.2.1", ...},
{Host: "192.168.2.2", ...},
}
edgeClient := edgeos.MustNew(ctx, edgeConfigs)
// Get all data for all devices in parallel
allEdge, err := edgeClient.GetAllEdgeOS(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Error fetching some devices: %v", err)
}
for host, eos := range allEdge {
fmt.Printf("[%s] %s (%d ports)\n", host, eos.AuthInfo.ModelName, eos.AuthInfo.Ports)
}
```
