Example API Calls Using Powershell and Bash/curl for Omada Controller (last validated on 5.12.7)

omada_api.ps1

### PowerShell Example
# set variables
$OMADA_URL = "https://omada.example.com:8043"
$USERNAME = "admin"
$PASSWORD = "test12345"

# get controller id from the API
$CONTROLLER_ID = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/api/info" -Method Get -UseBasicParsing).result.omadacId

# set the login request body as json
$loginRequestBody = @{
     username = $USERNAME
     password = $PASSWORD
 } | ConvertTo-Json

# login, get token, set a session variable
$loginResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/login" -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Body $loginRequestBody -SessionVariable OmadaSession

# extract the token and create a variable for the headers
$TOKEN = $loginResponse.result.token
$RequestHeaders = @{
     "Csrf-Token" = $TOKEN
     "Content-Type" = "application/json"
 }

# validate login
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/loginStatus?token=${TOKEN}" -Method Get -Headers $RequestHeaders -WebSession $OmadaSession

# example to get info on the current user
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/users/current?token=${TOKEN}&currentPage=1&currentPageSize=1000" -Method Get -Headers $RequestHeaders -WebSession $OmadaSession

omada_api.sh

### Bash Example
# set variables
OMADA_URL="https://omada.example.com:8043"
USERNAME="admin"
PASSWORD="test12345"

# get controller id from the API
CONTROLLER_ID="$(curl -sk "${OMADA_URL}/api/info" | jq -r .result.omadacId)"
 
# login, get token, set & use cookies
TOKEN="$(curl -sk -X POST -c "/tmp/omada-cookies.txt" -b "/tmp/omada-cookies.txt" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/login" -d '{"username": "'"${USERNAME}"'", "password": "'"${PASSWORD}"'"}' | jq -r .result.token)"

# once logged in, make sure you add the following header on additional API calls:
# -H "Csrf-Token: ${TOKEN}"

# validate login
curl -sk -X GET -b "/tmp/omada-cookies.txt" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Csrf-Token: ${TOKEN}" "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/loginStatus?token=${TOKEN}" | jq .

# example to get info on the current user
curl -sk -X GET -b "/tmp/omada-cookies.txt" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Csrf-Token: ${TOKEN}" "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/users/current?token=${TOKEN}&currentPage=1&currentPageSize=1000"

An example of a request:

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/sites/Default/devices" -Method Get -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $CsrfTokenHeader -UseBasicParsing

I will have to give it a shot with PowerShell when I get a chance. I haven't done so before.

### Set variables
$OMADA_URL = "https://URL"
$USERNAME = "username"
$PASSWORD = "password"

### Get controller id from the API
$CONTROLLER_ID = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/api/info" -Method Get -UseBasicParsing).result.omadacId

### Login, get token, set & use cookies
$loginRequestBody = @{
     username = $USERNAME
     password = $PASSWORD
 } | ConvertTo-Json

$loginResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/login" -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Body $loginRequestBody -SessionVariable session

$TOKEN = $loginResponse.result.token
$CsrfTokenHeader = @{
     "Csrf-Token" = $TOKEN
     "Content-Type" = "application/json"
 }

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/sites/Default/devices" -Method Get -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $CsrfTokenHeader -UseBasicParsing

Is this still working with the latest controller released Sep 19, 2023?

Yes

@eugen257 - so the only issue with your powershell is that you set the session variable but you never use it. According to this powershell reference, you need to use -WebSession $session to reference in in PowerShell 7.3 or older. I added a complete working example of a powershell above in the gist that matches what the bash example does.

@mbentley can you tell me how I can read all the settings and most importantly the MAC whitelist filter

It doesn't show anything useful. and the documentation also does not have a clear understanding of how to do this:

(Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "${OMADA_URL}/${CONTROLLER_ID}/api/v2/sites/638ef74e14f65e09652531f5/setting/firewall/macfilters?token=${TOKEN}" -Method Get -Headers $RequestHeaders -WebSession $OmadaSession).result

Why is the list not active here and I can’t activate it?

$macFilterConfig = @{
enable = $true
}

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$OMADA_URL/$OMADAC_ID/api/v2/sites/$SITE_ID/setting/firewall/macfilter" -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Body ($macFilterConfig | ConvertTo-Json) -Headers $RequestHeaders -UseBasicParsing -WebSession $OmadaSession

    0 Success. @{enable=False}
