TCP client using API

Hi,

I am trying to create a TCP client for simple Winbox functionallity. So far I have been working with an ssh connection but not that enthousiastic about that. I am now trying to get access to a router via the API (as described in the WiKi). The only thing is I am using RouterOS version 2.9.39 and I tried the command

/ip service enable api

But there is no such service (nor a port 8728) avaiable. Do I need to install the API or does it not exist for this version? I hope someone can help me…

Thanks,

Robert

3.0 only…

I kind of thought so… Thanks!
