linksys

A Go library for interacting with Linksys Smart WiFi-enabled routers using the JNAP protocol described below.

HTTP API overview

All API requests are POST requests made to http://192.168.1.1/JNAP/. The API endpoint can be changed if 192.168.1.1 does not point to the router. The special domain LinksysSmartWIFI.com points to the router ONLY if the DNS server is still the default. If using any other DNS server, such as Google's 8.8.8.8, it will point to 54.183.80.213.

All requests contain a JSON object as the POST data. Even if the action doesn't require any parameters, the POST data must be {}. All actions below take no parameters unless otherwise documented. The Content-Type header does not matter and is assumed to be application/json.

All responses are JSON objects with two keys: output and response. The response key indicates the status of the action. A value of OK indicates the operation was successful, any other value indicates an error. When an error occurs, another field, error, may be returned.

X-JNAP-Action

Every request has an HTTP header, X-JNAP-Action, that describes the action, request, and response parameters. Every action starts with http://linksys.com/jnap/ (alternatively, http://cisco.com/jnap/ could be used, but it seems to be deprecated). The actions described below have the prefix omitted, but are required in the header. For example, if the heading below is core/GetDeviceInfo, the HTTP header X-JNAP-Action in the request will be http://linksys.com/jnap/core/GetDeviceInfo.

X-JNAP-Authorization

Most actions require authorization provided by the X-JNAP-Authorization HTTP header. The header is a basic access authentication with the username admin. An example of the value of X-JNAP-Authorization in pseudocode would be:

"Basic "+base64("admin:"+password)

For example, if the password was password, the header would be Basic YWRtaW46cGFzc3dvcmQ=
