API Questions

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi,
I am developer in c#. I want develop a program that using API for connect to MK 3.X.
My application must do :

1-Kill (remove) a user with username.
2-Get Total traffic (Download + Upload ) for a user with username

I am using PPPOE for connecting my users.

I saw API documents but, I did not found any things. How I can use API commands for my application.

Thanks

Thanks a lot, but I said , I saw this link.

I need Command and sentences that I must use.

4

post here CLI commands that you use for that

Thanks,

1- finding a online user for example ABCD. (whe a PPPOE user is online, we have an Interface )
and remove this Interface.
this Command work with Telnet.

  /ppp active remove [ /ppp active find name=ABCD]

but for get traffice of active user I have not Command.

6

I think, you should work with /interface, not /ppp active. first you execute

/interface/print
=.proplist=.id,bytes
?=name=<pppoe-ABCD>

and now you know interface id and traffic

then you can kill that interface:

/interface/remove
=.id=*XXX

name is case-sensitive, so be careful =)

Thanks a lot,
can you tell me, how I can Kill only with user name ?

8

you should first find item .id with ‘print’ command, then call ‘remove’ with that id

Hi,
when I run your command, I got error :

!trap=message=argument error

i am using this code in C# :

 mikrotik.Send("/interface/print");
            mikrotik.Send("=.proplist=.id,bytes");
            mikrotik.Send("=name=<pppoe-sanat>", true);
            foreach (string h in mikrotik.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(h);
            }
10

that’s not my command, my is with ‘?=name=’, not ‘=name=’ =)

11

Hi,
Thanks,

I used ?=name=,

But I get error yet. :frowning:

12

what version of RouterOS you are using - try upgrading to newest version.

13

Hi.

my MK version is 3.13.

I can run API sample in http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/API_in_C_Sharp and it workes.
But current command does not work.

14

you should use newer version than that. if i remeber correctly proplist where introduced in RouterOS 3.24

15

Thanks,
Can I solve :

1-Kill (remove) a user with username.
2-Get Total traffic (Download + Upload ) for a user with username

With current version(3.13) and APIs.

16

Current version is 3.25 documentations is according to current version.

17

at first, you need queries (‘?=attr=value’), they were introduced in v3.21. before - you may just use ‘/interface/print’ and get all interfaces, then search among them. huge traffic =) and I’m not sure, whether you can receive ‘bytes’ attribute in v3.13 - you should check it by yourself

18

Thanks,
There is some of my query resualt when I use only

/interface/print




!re=.id=*4=comment==name=DSLAM=type=ether=mtu=1500

!re=.id=*1D=comment==name=<pppoe-nasr>=type=pppoe-in=mtu=1488
......

do you have any Idea ?

19

yes. the only idea is to upgrade

at least to v3.23:

What’s new in 3.23:
*) added ‘/interface print stats’ command;

here’s your bytes…

Thanks,
I am a developer only, I must contact my customer to do this. :wink:

What about for kill a online user ??
Do you think I must upgrade OS ?
