How to access ejabberd admin api via HTTP?

Question

I read about the document https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/api/

And I am wondering how I can access these APIs through HTTP. I tried to access, but always 404.

Answer 1

In your ejabberd.yml you can find this configuration

- port: 5280 module: ejabberd_http request_handlers: "/websocket": ejabberd_http_ws 

Enable api and oauth,

 - port: 5280 module: ejabberd_http request_handlers: "/websocket": ejabberd_http_ws "/api": mod_http_api "/oauth": ejabberd_oauth 

We allow api to have access from other programming languages ​​(JSON request and response)

We allow oauth to raise the api request and get a response (without which, if we get / api access, we get only a 401-unauthorized error)

Once this configuration is complete, give the http request in your browser. URL must be

http://localhost:5280/oauth/authorization_token?response_type=token&client_id=Client1&scope=get_roster+connected_users

get_roster and connected_users are API endpoints . Clinet1 is some name you can give response_type should always be a token

As soon as you click it, it will display the screen as such,

Enter your admin details and click "accept"

Then in the url you will find something like this

http://localhost:5280/oauth/authorization_token?access_token=Ra9W9aRgeoUgIpN0P68SIGDaatDIVcgB&token_type=bearer&expires_in=3600&scope=get_roster%20connected_users&state=

You can see the access token there copyit and make a curl to get connected users. (Enter this command in your terminal)

curl -v POST -H "X-Admin: true" -H "Authorization: Bearer Ra9W9aRgeoUgIpN0P68SIGDaatDIVcgB" http://localhost:5280/api/connected_users -d '[]'

You will get a Json response with all connected users.

This is how you should make API calls in ejabberd. Hope this helps :)

include ejabberd_xmlrpc in the ejabberd.yml file, uncomment the following lines -

 ## To handle XML-RPC requests that provide admin credentials: ## ## - ## port: 4560 ## module: ejabberd_xmlrpc ## maxsessions: 10 ## timeout: 5000 ## access_commands: ## xmlrpc: ## commands: all ## options: [] 

All XMLRPCs are sent to the following URL: http: // host: 4560 / . for more details check here
