Documentation of API endpoints on the UniFi controller software. This is a reverse engineering project that is based on browser captures, jar dumps, and reviewing other software that has been written to work with the controller. It's received minimal testing.
There are two main types of calls. One would be the REST-like which provide get/post/put/delete where post is to the base and put/delete are often tied to the _id of the object that you are working with. The second major type of web interface provided is an agent/call based system where you pass a command to an agent to perform an action. Both use application/json formatting for all data transfer. When updating a specific object you must use PUT or else a new object will be created.
NOTE: All calls are relative to the base controller URL
Calls return both a web status as well as JSON formatted output. 200 codes indicate a successful call and other indicate errors. I am using the placeholder {site} for the site name which for many installations will be default.
Login required
{ "data" : [ ] , "meta" : { "msg" : "api.err.LoginRequired" , "rc" : "error"}}
Call was a success but returned no values
{ "data" : [ ] , "meta" : { "rc" : "ok"}}
NOTE: If meta contains a count it's because the data values have been truncated
'meta': {'count': 4818, 'rc': 'ok'} # from the api/s/{site}/stat/event endpoint UDM Pro and UCG Max API NOTE: There are two critical differences between Unifi controllers and the API of the UDM Pro and UCG Max:
The login endpoint is /api/auth/login All API endpoints need to be prefixed with /proxy/network (e.g. https://192.168.0.1/proxy/network/api/s/default/self) Examples curl
authenticate and save the cookie contents in local file cookie.txt with switch '-c'
curl -k -X POST --data '{"username": "usr", "password": "$pw"}' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' -c cookie.txt https://udmp:443/api/auth/login
responds with json data
pass the local file cookie.txt with switch '-b'
curl -k -X GET -b cookie.txt https://udmp/proxy/network/api/s/default/self
responds with proper json
python Controller Endpoints These are REST calls that can be made without a site context. I do not believe any updates ( PUT ) can be called on these endpoints.
Path Method Notes
status GET Returns some very basic server information - This appears to be the only endpoint that can be reached without an authentication
{ "data" : [ ] , "meta" : { "rc" : "ok" , "server_version" : "5.7.23" , "up" : true , "uuid" : "0e727580-ffff-ffff-ffff-403dcd5a7bd4"}}
api/login POST requires dict of username, password, and optionally remember=true for long-running sessions. Returns 200 for success and a cookie that is your session. NOTE: On UDM Pros this is api/auth/login.
api/logout POST destroys the sever side session id which will make future attempts with that cookie fail
api/self GET Logged in user NOTE: On UDM Pros this is api/users/self.
api/self/sites GET Get basic information for all sites on this controller
api/stat/sites GET Same as above with an additional information on health and new alerts for each site
api/stat/admin GET List administrators and permissions for all sites
api/system/poweroff POST Turns off the UDM NOTE: X-CSRF-Token header required (from e.g. the login response) + Super Admin access rights
api/system/reboot POST Reboot the UDM NOTE: X-CSRF-Token header required (from e.g. the login response) + Super Admin access rights
Site Endpoints
All commands are presumed to be prefixed with api/s/{site}

api/s/{site}/upd/user/{UserId} you can get the users and the userid from "/api/s/{SiteId}/stat/alluser" (All Clients) or "/api/s/{SiteId}/stat/sta" (Active Clients) which contains the client id (_id). example: change name of user with clientid 5aca464bb79fc60200460394 to 'test-raw': ${curl_cmd} --data "json={'name':'test-raw'}" $baseurl/api/s/$site/upd/user/5aca464bb79fc60200460394

guest/s/{site}/hotspotconfig You will get in "auth" the value "none" if it is not activated, if it is activated you will get for exemple "hotspot" and many other values on the design of the page.

v2/api/site/{site}/trafficrules also possible to add new rule with a POST request.

v2/api/site/{site}/trafficrules/{id}/ PUT or DELETE request to update or delete traffic rule GET is not allowed on specific trafficrules. With PUT the result code is 201 and not 200 for successful change.

Update of Port Forward Rules This may apply to other configurations, but initial testing shows that port forward rules can be enabled/disabled using PUT against the endpoint /api/s/{site}/rest/portforward/{rule-id} with a body such as:
{ "enabled": true } The rule ID can be retrieved using the above described port forwarding GET request and is found in the "_id" key.
New rules can be created using POST, but be aware that there seems to be very little validation (it's possible to create entries with no information other than the fact that they're enabled, for example).
