API in Go

Introduction

The routeros package enables Go programs to connect to devices using the RouterOS API protocol. It started as a patch to the jda/routeros-api-go library.

Hosted on GitHub. API documentation is available at godoc.org.

Installation

go get gopkg.in/routeros.v1

Example

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"strings"
	"time"

	"gopkg.in/routeros.v1"
)

var (
	address    = flag.String("address", "192.168.0.1:8728", "Address")
	username   = flag.String("username", "admin", "Username")
	password   = flag.String("password", "admin", "Password")
	properties = flag.String("properties", "name,rx-byte,tx-byte,rx-packet,tx-packet", "Properties")
	interval   = flag.Duration("interval", 1*time.Second, "Interval")
)

func main() {
	flag.Parse()

	c := &routeros.Client{
		Address:  *address,
		Username: *username,
		Password: *password,
	}
	err := c.Connect()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	for {
		reply, err := c.Run("/interface/print", "?disabled=false", "?running=true", "=.proplist="+*properties)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}

		for _, re := range reply.Re {
			for _, p := range strings.Split(*properties, ",") {
				fmt.Print(re.Map[p], "\t")
			}
			fmt.Print("\n")
		}
		fmt.Print("\n")

		time.Sleep(*interval)
	}
