ubiquiti-clients
Go client libraries for interacting with Ubiquiti network devices via their REST APIs.
⚠️ 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.
- Multi-Device Support: Manage multiple devices with a single client instance.
- 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.
- Multi-Device Support: Manage multiple devices with a single client instance.
- 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.
Installation
# For ToughSwitch
go get gitea.libretechconsulting.com/rmcguire/toughswitch-client/pkg/toughswitch
# For EdgeOS

Usage
ToughSwitch Basic Example
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"time"
"gitea.libretechconsulting.com/rmcguire/toughswitch-client/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)
// 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
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"time"
"gitea.libretechconsulting.com/rmcguire/toughswitch-client/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)
// 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
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,
)
}
}
Working with Multiple Devices
Both clients are designed to handle multiple devices concurrently.
// ToughSwitch example
configs := []toughswitch.Config{
{Host: "192.168.1.1", ...},
{Host: "192.168.1.2", ...},
}
client := toughswitch.MustNew(ctx, configs)
// Get info for all configured devices in parallel
allSystems, err := client.GetAllSystems(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Error fetching some systems: %v", err)
}
for host, sys := range allSystems {
fmt.Printf("[%s] Hostname: %s\n", host, sys.Hostname)
}
// EdgeOS example
edgeConfigs := []edgeos.Config{
{Host: "192.168.2.1", ...},
{Host: "192.168.2.2", ...},
}
edgeClient := edgeos.MustNew(ctx, edgeConfigs)
// Get config for all configured devices in parallel
allConfigs, err := edgeClient.GetAllConfigs(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Error fetching some configs: %v", err)
}
for host, cfg := range allConfigs {
fmt.Printf("[%s] Hostname: %s\n", host, cfg.System.HostName)
}
