# iRedAdmin-Pro: RESTful API

!!! note

    If you need an API which has not yet been implemented, don't hesitate to
    [contact us](../contact.html).

[TOC]

## Summary

iRedAdmin-Pro RESTful API will return message in JSON format.

* If operation succeed, iRedAdmin-Pro returns JSON data: `{'success': true}`.
* If operation failed, iRedAdmin-Pro returns JSON data: `{'success': false, 'msg': '<error_reason>'}`.

## Requirements

* At least iRedAdmin-Pro-SQL-2.4.0 or iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-2.6.0. Earlier releases
  didn't offer RESTful API.

## Enable RESTful API

RESTful API is disabled by default, to enable it, please add setting below in
iRedAdmin-Pro config file `settings.py`:

```
ENABLE_RESTFUL_API = True
```

To restrict API access to few IP addresses, please also add settings below in
iRedAdmin-Pro config file:

```
# Enable restriction
RESTRICT_API_ACCESS = True

# List all IP addresses of allowed client for API access.
RESTFUL_API_CLIENTS = ['172.16.244.1', ...]
```

Restarting Apache or uwsgi (if you're running Nginx) is required.

##  Sample code to interact with iRedAdmin-Pro RESTful API

* [iRedAdmin-Pro RESTful API (interact with `curl`)](./iredadmin-pro.restful.api.curl.html)
* [iRedAdmin-Pro RESTful API (interact with Python)](./iredadmin-pro.restful.api.python.html)

## APIs

Notes:

* Parameter name with a `*` mark means the parameter is required, otherwise is optional.
