API Ver 5.0 R1

This document provides information on API 5.0 implemented on MCS. The API calls are applicable for both MCS and MCM9000 5.5.x onwards.

The API calls in 5.0 are GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE. Please use an HTTPS call without a /.json at the end if you invoke an API call on MCS or an HTTP call with /.json at the end if you invoke an API on MCM9000 that is connected to the MCS.

For example,

On MCS - https://{{ip_address}}:{{port}}/api/{{version}}/channels/config/

On MCM - http://{{ip_address}}:{{port}}/api/{{version}}/channels/config/.json

Please refer to the examples in each section to use the API calls as needed.

Authorization

MCM9000 uses basic authorization with the same username and password used to log in.

MCS uses refresh token for API 5.0 authorization.

To use this please follow the steps below.

In your postman collection, go to the Pre-request Script copy and paste the following script. Replace the ip_address and port field with your MCS IP address and port id respectively. Change also the username and password fields accordingly. In the script, the default credentials are used.

const moment = require('moment');

// Generate inital Collection variables value
function init_enviroment() {
    if(!pm.globals.has('ip_address')){
        pm.globals.set('ip_address','xx.xx.xx.xx');
    }
    if(!pm.globals.has('port')){
        pm.globals.set('port',xxx);
    }   
    if(!pm.globals.has('username')){
        pm.globals.set('username','Admin');
    }  
    if(!pm.globals.has('password')){
        pm.globals.set('password','Admin');
    }  
    if(!pm.globals.has('access_token')){
        pm.globals.set('access_token',null);
    }
    if(!pm.globals.has('version')){
        pm.globals.set('version','5.0');
    }

    if(!pm.globals.has('refresh_token')){
        pm.globals.set('refresh_token',null);
    }

    if(!pm.globals.has('expiration')){
        pm.globals.set('expiration',0);
    }
}

function jwt_decode(token) {
    return JSON.parse(atob(token.split('.')[1]));
}

// Set the recived tokens into collection/enviroment cache
function handleResponse( response ){

   const decoded = jwt_decode(response.json().data.access_token);

    pm.globals.set('access_token',response.json().data.access_token);
    pm.globals.set('refresh_token',response.json().data.refresh_token);
    pm.globals.set('expiration',decoded.exp);
}

// Login Flow
function login() {

    const loginRequest = {
        url: `https://${pm.globals.get('ip_address')}:${pm.globals.get('port')}/api/${pm.globals.get('version')}/auth/login`,
        method: 'POST',
        header: {
            'accept': 'application/json',
            'content-type': `application/json`
        },
        body: {
            mode: 'raw',
            raw: JSON.stringify({ 
                password : pm.globals.get('password'),
                username: pm.globals.get('username') 
            })
        }
    }

    pm.sendRequest(loginRequest, (error, response) => {
        if(!!error){
            console.log(error);
        } else {
            handleResponse(response);
        }
    });
}

// Refresh Token Flow
function refresh() {

    const refreshRequest = {
        url: `https://${pm.globals.get('ip_address')}:${pm.globals.get('port')}/api/${pm.globals.get('version')}/auth/token/refresh`,
        method: 'POST',
        header: {
            'accept': 'application/json',
            'content-type': `application/json`
        },

            raw: JSON.stringify({ 
                refresh_token : pm.globals.get('refresh_token')
            })
        }
    }

    pm.sendRequest(refreshRequest, (error, response) => {
console.log(response)
        if(!!error || ( !!response && !!response.code && (response.code >= 400) )){
            login();
        } else {
            handleResponse(response);

        }
    });
}

init_enviroment();

// Run either Initial Login or Refresh as per case
if( !pm.globals.has('refresh_token') ) {
    login();
} else if( 
    ( !pm.globals.has('access_token') ) || 
    ( ( pm.globals.get('expiration') * 1000 - moment().valueOf()) <= 0 ) 
){
    refresh();
}

2. On the collection click on Authorization choose the Type as Bearer Token and in the Token field input {{access_token}} as shown below.

** Please make sure to use the same authorization for all the API 5.0 requests within the collection.
