Hello,
I'm using the Server API to export the live alarm and alarm history from WebIQ.
The API Reference manual says that the alarm.live command, for instance, doesn't require a logged in user.
However, if I try to send the alarm.live command without sending the user.login command, it gives an "access denied" message back.
On the other hand, if I send the user.login command before and then the alarm.live command, I'm able to authenticate and to access the alarms.
So, is authentication necessary for it? Or is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!
Silvia
I've found other cases that exhibit the same behaviour. For example, accessing item.get with request
{
"cmd": "item.get",
"id": 0,
"data": "start"
}
yields without login:
{
"cmd": "item.get",
"data": null,
"error": {
"category": "shmi:connect:api:generic",
"errc": 4,
"message": "access denied"
},
"fragmented": false,
"id": 0
}
but with login:
{
"cmd": "item.get",
"data": {
"access_group": null,
"alias": "start",
"attributes": {},
"audit": false,
"data_type": null,
"description": null,
"digits": -1,
"interval": 100,
"label": null,
"max": null,
"min": null,
"name": {
"namespace": 2,
"node": "plc/app/Application/sym/GVL_EM00_HMI/bStart_HMI_gb"
},
"prewarn_enable": false,
"prewarn_max": null,
"prewarn_min": null,
"recorder_threshold": null,
"server": "ctrlX_CORE",
"simulation": null,
"step": null,
"transform": null,
"trend_max": null,
"trend_min": null,
"unit": null,
"update_function": null,
"update_param": null,
"warn_enable": false,
"warn_max": null,
"warn_min": null
},
"error": null,
"fragmented": false,
"id": 0
}
Like alarm.live, the documentation indicates that item.get does not require user login.
BTW: There are examples where login is not required. For instance, connect.info:
I suspect the documentation just needs to be updated.
