UbiOS not supported / Incorrect device count

[lifewcody]

Hello,

Unfortunately, I have not been able to get this working yet. Here is what I have:

let CloudAPI = require('node-unifiapi/cloudapi');
let cloud = CloudAPI({
    //deviceId: '', // The cloud id of the device
    username: 'unifi',
    password: 'unifi',
    debug: true, // More debug of the API (uses the debug module)
    debugNet: true // Debug of the network requests
});


cloud.self()
    .then(() => cloud.devices())

**username and password excluded for obvious reasons

I receive:

{ response:
   { debugId: 3,
     headers:
      { date: 'Sat, 18 Apr 2020 10:04:08 GMT',
        'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        'content-length': '24',
        connection: 'close',
        'access-control-allow-origin': 'https://account.ubnt.com',
        vary: 'Origin',
        'access-control-allow-credentials': 'true' },
     statusCode: 200,
     body: '{"count":0,"devices":[]}' } }
  CloudAPI Received response: string +372ms
  CloudAPI now we have object +1ms

Which I know isn't correct. I looked on unifi.ui.com (The new UbiOS page) and this is in the requests:

https://cloudaccess.svc.ui.com/devices?withUserData=true https://ubic-stabilizer.svc.ui.com/api/airos/v1/unifi/devices?page=0&page_size=1000

So the second one (which I think your API is calling) is showing 0, whereas the first one is accurate.

It also looks like there is a 'list' which is at: https://cloudaccess.svc.ui.com/list, which also returns correct info.

Also: URL for getting the new UbiOS devices (UDMs) https://cloudaccess.svc.ui.com/devices?type=ucore,ulp&withUserData=true

Any help is much appreciated :)

@lifewcody Same here. Apparently with the addition of UDM PROs the routes for the software-based controllers have changed. Have you been able to make any progress?

FYI: I maintain the PHP API client for UniFi but have a specific use-case where we may need to leverage CloudAccess and it would be really cool if we can achieve that with this package.

Sorry, I haven't yet look at this deeply. Let me see if I can simulate the issue and I will fix it

This is one of the two big issues slowing my adoption of the UDM pro. The other is that /etc/hosts isn't getting populated but, with an API, I can think about programming a work-around.

[malle-pietje]

@BobFrankston If you have PHP skills you can always start off with the PHP API client which I maintain and already supports UDM PROs.

[BobFrankston]

Thanks -- I'll see if I can figure out the fix to apply it to the node version but I'm hesitant to try to update the shared version.

[BobFrankston]

The PHP version seems short enough to rewrite if need be. I also found https://ubntwiki.com/products/software/unifi-controller/api. My goal is still to have a TypeScript (OK, JavaScript) library that I can use. My bias shows in https://rmf.vc/IEEEJSEco.

[BobFrankston]

@malle-pietje - Since I'm not up to speed on the PHP ecosystem, do you have a simpler example I can use to invoke the PHP library? I'm getting authorization issues on the UDM Pro. There seems to be a myriad of credentials) and I don't know if I have the bug in my JS code or not.

[malle-pietje]

@BobFrankston the issue with UDM PROs is that the login route and base path have changed. Also the authentication uses a JWT token instead of cookies. Just search through the code for the is_unifi_os property to see where we change behavior of the client: https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-client/blob/master/src/Client.php

[BobFrankston]

Thanks. I did find /api/auth/login. The challenge now is to figure out which credentials for what since that too has changed. There are local credentials, UDM credentials, cloud credentials ... but I did get to authorization failure which is progress.

[malle-pietje]

@BobFrankston When accessing the (non-Cloud) API you need to use a set of credentials for the UniFi controller application with local access permissions.

[BobFrankston]

I added local credentials and tried both that and the cloud credentials which the UDM pro seems to want. Do you have a command line I can use with your PHP version so I can test the credentials? I do appreciate your help and the work you've done.

[malle-pietje]

@BobFrankston You can use this example which can easily be executed from the command line after setting up the config file: https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-client/blob/master/examples/list_user_stats.php

Execute like so:

# php list_user_stats.php 

[BobFrankston]

I've made lots of progress and added:

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,

but now need to get past

PHP Notice:  cURL error: SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name

[BobFrankston]

OK, got past that with

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => FALSE,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => FALSE,

On to the next challenge ...
