4.x API Docs

Routers
1

Hi All,

I recently got a MT-2500A, with the intention of running a VPN for my home network, and to have some parental controls in the household.

I was developing a homeassistant integration, to allow easy switching of some things to the adult members of the family.

I got some stuff working well, and I am adding a few more capabilities to the integration. However the API docs at https://dev.gl-inet.com/router-4.x-api/ are gone!

Not sure if they’ll be back or not, does anyone know? are the docs somewhere else?

I can always inspect the traffic of the web config interface, but it is not as convenient.

Any guidance from anyone?

Yes, the web server has been down since last week.

You can however use archive.org. It has a full snapshot of the down website as of January 6.

Hello
I am trying to re-create my "feed gps location and mobile info into OwnTracks" script on my Puli AX router. Therefore I wanted to check some API calls in the docs.
Here I am reading, that the docs are offline since January? Now it's September...
Does this mean, GL-Inet doesn't want us to use the API anymore?
And no, linking to the Internet-Archive is not a "solution", when the vendor shuts down it's API documentation. I'd expect some more explanation on this.
Thanks in advance
Frank

AFAIK, it've been closed for an indisputable reason unrelated to any dev issues or intentions of GL.iNet. (Reference) Even though so, I fully agree that there should be some minimum explanations.

  • I don't know we could expect it to be open near future
  • At least we can use the API without worries
  • For a while, we have to figure out how the API works ourselves
