Python is the most popular language for network automation. You can use the RouterOS-api library on PyPI to simplify the connection process.
With RouterOS v7, MikroTik introduced a that uses standard HTTP and JSON. This makes it much easier to interact with the router using simple tools like curl without needing a specialized library. Get All Interfaces via REST: curl -k -u admin:password https://192.168.88 Use code with caution.
/ip service set api disabled=no /ip service set api-ssl disabled=no Use code with caution.
Before you can send any commands, you must enable the API service on your MikroTik device. By default, the API uses for unencrypted connections and TCP port 8729 for secure connections. To enable the API via the Command Line Interface (CLI):
Automating your network with MikroTik devices can save hours of manual configuration. Whether you are building a custom dashboard for an ISP or managing thousands of remote routers, understanding how to use the MikroTik API is essential. 1. Preparing the Router for API Access
This example shows how an ISP can display a list of currently logged-in users directly on a web page. 4. RouterOS v7 REST API (cURL)
