# API endpoints
NetAlertX comes with a couple of API endpoints. All requests need to be authorized (executed in a logged in browser session) or you have to pass the value of the `API_TOKEN` settings as authorization bearer, for example:
```graphql
curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql' \
-X POST \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"query": "query GetDevices($options: PageQueryOptionsInput) { devices(options: $options) { devices { rowid devMac devName devOwner devType devVendor devLastConnection devStatus } count } }",
"variables": {
"options": {
"page": 1,
"limit": 10,
"sort": [{ "field": "devName", "order": "asc" }],
"search": "",
"status": "connected"
}
}
}'
```
## API Endpoint: GraphQL
- Endpoint URL: `php/server/query_graphql.php`
- Host: `same as front end (web ui)`
- Port: `20212` or as defined by the `GRAPHQL_PORT` setting
### Example Query to Fetch Devices
First, let's define the GraphQL query to fetch devices with pagination and sorting options.
```graphql
query GetDevices($options: PageQueryOptionsInput) {
devices(options: $options) {
devices {
rowid
devMac
devName
devOwner
devType
devVendor
devLastConnection
devStatus
}
count
}
}
```

### `curl` Command
You can use the following `curl` command to execute the query.
```sh
curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql' -X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"query": "query GetDevices($options: PageQueryOptionsInput) { devices(options: $options) { devices { rowid devMac devName devOwner devType devVendor devLastConnection devStatus } count } }",
"variables": {
"options": {
"page": 1,
"limit": 10,
"sort": [{ "field": "devName", "order": "asc" }],
"search": "",
"status": "connected"
}
}
}'
```
### Explanation:
1. **GraphQL Query**:
- The `query` parameter contains the GraphQL query as a string.
- The `variables` parameter contains the input variables for the query.
2. **Query Variables**:
- `page`: Specifies the page number of results to fetch.
- `limit`: Specifies the number of results per page.
- `sort`: Specifies the sorting options, with `field` being the field to sort by and `order` being the sort order (`asc` for ascending or `desc` for descending).
- `search`: A search term to filter the devices.
- `status`: The status filter to apply (valid values are `my_devices` (determined by the `UI_MY_DEVICES` setting), `connected`, `favorites`, `new`, `down`, `archived`, `offline`).
3. **`curl` Command**:
- The `-X POST` option specifies that we are making a POST request.
- The `-H "Content-Type: application/json"` option sets the content type of the request to JSON.
- The `-d` option provides the request payload, which includes the GraphQL query and variables.
### Sample Response
The response will be in JSON format, similar to the following:
```json
{
"data": {
"devices": {
"devices": [
{
"rowid": 1,
"devMac": "00:11:22:33:44:55",
"devName": "Device 1",
"devOwner": "Owner 1",
"devType": "Type 1",
"devVendor": "Vendor 1",
"devLastConnection": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"devStatus": "connected"
},
{
"rowid": 2,
"devMac": "66:77:88:99:AA:BB",
"devName": "Device 2",
"devOwner": "Owner 2",
"devType": "Type 2",
"devVendor": "Vendor 2",
"devLastConnection": "2025-01-02T00:00:00Z",
"devStatus": "connected"
}
],
"count": 2
}
}
}
```
## API Endpoint: JSON files
This API endpoint retrieves static files, that are periodically updated.
- Endpoint URL: `php/server/query_json.php?file=<file name>`
- Host: `same as front end (web ui)`
- Port: `20211` or as defined by the $PORT docker environment variable (same as the port for the web ui)
### When are the endpoints updated
The endpoints are updated when objects in the API endpoints are changed.
### Location of the endpoints
In the container, these files are located under the `/app/api/` folder. You can access them via the `/php/server/query_json.php?file=user_notifications.json` endpoint.
### Available endpoints
You can access the following files:
| File name | Description |
|----------------------|----------------------|
| `notification_json_final.json` | The json version of the last notification (e.g. used for webhooks - [sample JSON](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/front/report_templates/webhook_json_sample.json)). |
| `table_devices.json` | All of the available Devices detected by the app. |
| `table_plugins_events.json` | The list of the unprocessed (pending) notification events (plugins_events DB table). |
| `table_plugins_history.json` | The list of notification events history. |
| `table_plugins_objects.json` | The content of the plugins_objects table. Find more info on the [Plugin system here](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/docs/PLUGINS.md)|
| `language_strings.json` | The content of the language_strings table, which in turn is loaded from the plugins `config.json` definitions. |
| `table_custom_endpoint.json` | A custom endpoint generated by the SQL query specified by the `API_CUSTOM_SQL` setting. |
| `table_settings.json` | The content of the settings table. |
| `app_state.json` | Contains the current application state. |
### JSON Data format
The endpoints starting with the `table_` prefix contain most, if not all, data contained in the corresponding database table. The common format for those is:
```JSON
{
"data": [
{
"db_column_name": "data",
"db_column_name2": "data2"
},
{
"db_column_name": "data3",
"db_column_name2": "data4"
}
]
}
```
Example JSON of the `table_devices.json` endpoint with two Devices (database rows):
```JSON
