# 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]

### ChangeLog

* Variable names in returned JSON data has been changed to:
  `{'_success': ..., '_msg': ...}` (was `{'success': ..., 'msg': ...}`).
* Some variable names have been renamed:
    * `cn` -> `name`.
    * `mailQuota` -> `quota`
    * `preferredLanguage` -> `language`

## Summary

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

* If operation succeed:
    * For `POST`, `DELETE`, `PUT` actions, it returns JSON data: `{'_success': true}`.
    * For `GET` action, it returns JSON data: `{'_success': true, '_data': <program_output>}`.
* If operation failed, it 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.
* replace `<domain>` in URL by the real domain name.
* replace `<mail>` in URL by the real email address.
